Here And There

Walked the few blocks to the post office at 6:30, then extended to about a little more than a mile. After breakfast, I called Laurie at Hertz Car Sales to say I wanted more info on the car she had shown me last week. She called back to say it was sold--damn!  However, she said they had another red one, a hatchback, and might I be interested? Yes, and in the meantime, I decided to try getting to WinCo.
It turned out to be a piece of cake, although I had to take four buses (two there, two back). Also, I knew I couldn't get a big order--which I really need--because I couldn't carry it. However, I got what I most needed, so that was okay.
Called Betty from the bus and was pleased that she sounded almost--almost--like her old self when we chatted. Home, had lunch, then took off for town. I got a different bus, which took me to Thompson Street, but that was okay, as I had decided to walk The Promenade. Once I disembarked, though, the weather had gotten chilly and I had on only a light top. Decided against it and just visited The Coalition, where I found a wonderful paper Japanese umbrella. I needed it like a hole in the head, so of course, I bought it.
Walked to the library, read a bit, then caught the bus for home.
