Here's what I've done in the past week. I had a very quiet past 7 days; that's just how things turned out. Monday, after dinner I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble then the nearby Trader Joe's. Except for my time at Joe's (where I purchased some food & drink) it was a miserable experience. I had a rotten customer experience at B&N so I did not purchase anything there. And then there was the absolutely brutal traffic-even worse than usual for this area. That day was just bad. At least Tuesday was better, in that I didn't do anything at all.
Wednesday, all I did was go out to dinner with someone; it was at a Florida-only chain known as Gator's Dockside, which I have been at a decent amount of times since I've lived in this state. Their food is decent so we were fine eating there. Thursday, I had to make another airport run. The night before, we suddenly discovered that the time of the flight had changed, now leaving an hour and a half later. Of course this low-rent move (which I presume happened recently and wasn't the cast for long) was done by a cheap rinky-dink airline that unfortunately my parents have to use as there's no other easy option for them to fly back to the old home area in Illinois. It didn't affect me too much, but imagine all those people it did impact... what a crappy operation.
Thursday, I dropped off that parent at the airport and while the traffic was as bad as expected, it otherwise was an uneventful trip where I also went to a MovieStop, where I purchased a few items, and I got a sandwich from one of the many Wawa stores that are now in the central part of Florida.
Friday through Sunday, I thought of doing various things but due to the rainy weather, me being exhausted from not getting a good night's sleep for more than one night in a row, and other factors I laid real low and the only things I did of note was get a tank of gas and get a pizza from Pizza Hut. I know, I am old and lame... although “old and wise” may work too as I saved time & money and whatever I may have planned may have gone awry; with my luck as of late that wouldn't have been so surprising to me.
The reason why I am posting this a little later than usual is that I had to go out and about this afternoon. When I return a week from today, I will give some details about that & I'll try harder to have a more interesting week to write about.
