Gah, I'm so dead!
Oct. 21st, 2024 08:19 pmI was all over the district today. In the morning I went to three different supermarkets and to the selective garbage place withing an hour and a half. I didn't actually plan to do any more grocery shopping till Thursday but I had miscalculated and we've run out of bread and cold cuts.
In the afternoon we had pensioners' meeting at school. This is a yearly event, when all retired colleagues receive an invitation to show up at school, have some scones and soft drinks and chat a bit with each other and with those still actively teaching. There even was a short, funny play performed by a 6th-term-class. It was a nice get-together; some of the retirees I haven't seen for years. Everyone was asking about Mum and I got to show off her pictures in the café and on the bench halfway to the café. I think I'm one of the very few lucky ones not only to still have a mother but one who's still in full charge of her mental capacities. I must remind myself of that when I get grumpy about my life.
Still, going out of the house twice pretty much ate my whole day and made me extremely tired. I'm no longer used running around all day, it seems. So, not much got done at home, save for a bit of writing... until I fell asleep over my notebook. *g* At least I didn't have to cook - we still had pulled pork, mashed potatoes and salad from yesterday.
BTW, I've picked up next week's special offer flyer at Aldi. It seems they'll have the most extravagant baking supplies from Sunday on. It's a good thing I don't really have anything to spend my money on (except crafting supplies) because I foresee a shopping spree of epic proportions.
