Dead like a doornail

wiseheartI had a busy day: big grocery shopping, post office (where I had to stand in the queue for almost 30 minutes), pharmacy (where I had to stand in the queue for 15 or so minutes), Pepco, Kik and Tedi, where I heroically withstood the urge to buy ungodly amounts of beautiful but completely unnecessary Christmas decorations... well, save for a sheet of sparkly stickers at Pepco. They were really cheap and, well, sparkly: golden stags and stars and lovely, dark green pine trees.
That about ate the day from 9am to 2pm, after which I was really, really dead. Counting in the sore muscles from yesterday (squatting in front of the freezer for more than an hour can do that to your legs), I was just not up to cooking today. Fortunately, Mum had no objections to instant tomato soup and Vienna sausages with Butterbrot. Mum can be very reasonable. :)
My friend Evie dropped by with some apples that the kids failed to eat up at school, so now we are well equipped with our most basic source of vitamins. Of course, I'd bought mandarins in the morning, and even a pomegranate - no idea if the latter has any vitamins, but I like it, even though Mum does not. The reason must be that I still have most of my teeth while she has not. *g*
So, for the rest of the afternoon I was pretty floored. Played some Solitaire on Methuselah, the geriatric laptop, wrote a bit to calm my conscience (it is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
picowrimo month, after all) and talked to H. on the phone. An early night would be reasonable... if it weren't for the finals of the GBBO: The Professionals today.
