Errand day
Feb. 6th, 2004 07:27 pmThe day started rainy and cold--mid 30's, perhaps. I was jolted awake shortly after 7 by my HVAC service company telling me the technician was on the way to do a maintenance visit. I'd completely forgotten. I shot out of bed and got dressed before I realized it was 7:10, not almost 8 as I'd assumed. The technician arrived at 8:15. I could have slept another 40 minutes!
Technician left in time for me to go to Jazzercise. Back home, discovered that the power supply on my laptop really is dying--unless the little wire is exactly right, it quits charging. I ran the battery down to emergency reserve level twice finding this out. Call my supervisor to get permission to buy a new one, but he's away from his desk. Futz around on the computer awhile (I did confirm that Apple offers the lowest available price on the replacement power supply, in their Gov't Store), eat lunch, then head out with a list of errands.
I: returned ill-fitting aerobics shoes to Sports Authority; dashed in a mall to a Foot Locker--no aerobics shoes I want to try on; bought hand towels for my father's house and for my guest bathroom at Tuesday Morning; went to a Sav-Rite grocery and Yeah! found a small stash of the canned zucchini that goes in a very good 5-can vegetable soup that's been the mainstay of my lunches while I've been on Weight Watchers; went to Publix and deposited a check at my bank's ATM inside, then completed my grocery shopping; went home to deposit perishables; found phone message from supervisor saying I can order power adapter, and do so; walked down the street to drop off my neighborhood association dues at the street captain's house; picked up 2 prescriptions at CVS (wow, almost hassle-free, too); bought new exercise pants at Target; went next door for an early dinner as they are headed to Shabbat services. I was invited to attend and would have gone, but I'm wiped. Updating livejournal with a glass of wine in hand is a superior option.
