Hello,
I got a hair cut this morning. Because
I like to combine trips I planned to stop at two stores and the gas station as
well. I checked gas buddy for the cheapest local price. It was not truly on my
route, but just beyond my home, so not a big deal to get there.
The hair cut was as expected and took
little time. The hair cutter commented on how beautiful my curly hair is. Since
I am not used to such statements, I wonder, improving with age?
Then I headed off to donate some
things at Goodwill and check availability of anything that might appeal to me. Not
much time was spent there because shopping with no item in mind is not so
appealing to me. Then I moved on to the co-op grocery store where I had a $5
discount if I spent $25 or more. Well, I managed to find $35 worth of items
that we “needed”. As I came home, pulled into the garage, and after unpacking
my purchases I realized that I had not gotten gas. That is an important
purchase because I go to work tomorrow morning. Getting gas then is not in the rushed
schedule.
It seemed I should go back out while
thinking of it. When I got out to the garage I discovered that a truck with a
large trailer was right in back of the garage door. The driver was still
sitting in the truck. When questioned, he told me, “I will be here a while as I
am cleaning out this place.” swinging his head to the empty house across the
alley. We agreed I would try to get out, if I could not manage he would move.
He started to move before I was sure I could not swing the car clear of the
garage supports.
On the road there were many cars which
required some long waits at two stop lights. I was happy to get that vehicle
fueled so I could comfortably drive to work even though I might have burned up
any saving waiting for the lights to turn.
It seemed like a good idea to park on
the street in front of the house when I returned. I would not interfere with
any activity in the back. Later when I noticed the alley was clear, I put the
car in the garage.
