Shopping trip, sorta'

Got up at 10:00 today and had breakfast and coffee. Then I showered and dressed, and took out the cardboard recycling and walked around the block. Then I puttered online til 1:45, then headed into Flushing on the 44 bus.

I went to Duane Reade and got my prescriptions picked up, and then I browsed the Halloween stuff.

Then I walked down Roosevelt ave. to the Skyview Mall. It's always an interesting walk.

In the mall I browsed through Old Navy, because I need a new pair of blue jeans. The Old Navy on 20th ave in College Point closed, which is a pity, so I'll have to come to Flushing for that sort of stuff from now on.

Then I went to Target, and browsed their Halloween section. Lot of great stuff, but nothing that really caught my attention.

I checked out their blue jeans, more expensive than Old Navy by a bit, and I looked at bras. But again, didn't buy anything.

Then I gave in to temptation and went to the cafe, which is Starbucks and Pizza Hut, and went to the Pizza Hut for their chicken Alfredo baked pasta. Terrible for me I know. The cafe no longer has seating so I had to take it outside to sit and eat, but it was good. Then I threw out the garbage and went back to the cafe, meaning to get a napkin, but ended up getting a drinkable yogurt for a beverage.

I drank that, and walked through the store again, still not buying anything, and finally left, walked up Roosevelt Ave and back to the 44 bus and home.

By then it was 5:00 so I puttered online for a bit then went to the bedroom and lay down. I played solitaire, scrolled Facebook, and dozed til 6:30 when I came out and got the computer going to Team the FWiB at 7:00.

[personal profile] mashfanficchick called to tell me about Bad Bunny playing the Superbowl halftime show, and how the MAGAts are losing theor minds over it, and has decided, as apparently many others have, that we shall watch the Superbowl and have Puerto Rican food for halftime. This sounds good to me. I haven't seen a Superbowl in many years, not since Oldest Brother and I used to go to the temple that had a Superbowl party as a fundraiser with John. That was fun.

After I got off the Team with the FWiB I called the Kid but she didn't answer. Then I went to the bedroom and filled out the info on my winning lottery tickets from the raffle baskets from the con. I wrote and printed a letter to go with them, enveloped them and addressed it. Now I have to find time to get to the library to use the copy machine to copy them, and the post office to mail them to Virginia either insured, certified, or registered. Whatever's cheapest.

By that time it was pet feeding time so I fed the pets and was starting here when the Kid called. Sadly she doesn't think that they can make Cousin Steve's on October 25 and 26. Bummer. I heard about her Chicago trip, they had fun.

And that's about it.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The Kid.

6. Plans for Superbowl.
