Today I:
- cleaned out my underwear drawer, threw some stuff out and made the rest fit in the drawer more easily. Two wind up alarm clocks, one non-working etc.
- Went to pick up book ordered in Chatham. They didn’t have either of the other books not available through library or as audio. Decided I would go elsewhere and grocery shop on return trip.
- Got stuck in traffic and did the get off at exit 8 and back on at 7- thing to get around it. Why DOT think it’s reasonable to close two lanes near Washington Ave bridge over I-90 is beyond me. One sign at exit 10 and not very readable.
In the “where’s a cop when you need one?” Dept: the blue car at right in the photo below had zipped up the shoulder of the road and what do you know, got stuck at a sign that was on the shoulder. I was laughing pretty hard but the guy behind me let him in. I sort of shook my fist at him when he tried to cut me off. Not gonna happen.
And PS: Crazy passing drivers, please be so kind as to CLEAR my car before heading into my lane. There were way too many of you today that I was sure was going to sideswipe me. One of you had both tires in my lane and your car was tire to tire with me. Please.
- Because of the delay, Frankenstein ended just as I was pulling into parking lot. OMG – that’s how it ends? There?! What?!
- Got a few things at other bookstore. Had a phone call and walked around while quietly chatting (moving to various less-populated places in store).
- Homeward, stop at grocery store where two men with about 4 carts were finishing ringing up about $600 worth of stuff for local organization. Oh, so that’s what $600 of groceries looks like!
- Stop at farm stand and get tomatoes, sweet corn, cantaloupe, peaches and fingerling potatoes. Male customer complaining to owner about prices. She’s explaining prices are about the same as last year. I think: not the same as they were 20 years ago when this guy stopped noticing everything changing.
- Come home and put stuff away. Blanch green beans and put some in a vinaigrette. Cook small potatoes. Make coffee. About the time everything was cooked and put away and leaf lettuce washed etc, I realized I was hungry so I made dinner and
- here I am. Now fed and hopefully with food to last a few days, I’ll be heading up to iron fabric and start making bias.
