Here And There

Kimball, then T.O.P.S., where I weighed in at 130.1, one-tenth of a pound over what I like, but all things considered, no biggie. I begged off the excursion to Carrow's for their mega-calorie breakfasts, had my usual at home.
Did a lot of wearisome stuff on-line, then called Jim C. and we made a date for Sunday, the 14th. We still haven't heard from Char, although we've both e-mailed and called her. Not sure why. Went to Wal-Mart, looking for little throw-away bathroom cups, and they didn't have any. Neither did either of the 99-cent stores or any of the other places I looked--darn! I also couldn't find a night receptacle for my bridgework until I hit the third store. The other day, nobody had simple little stickers--not that kind that say "My Name Is---," until I finally found them at Staples. I'm puzzled when these simple little things are so hard to find--why?
I found a nice bag of tangerines on my door when I got home, which. I was pretty sure were from Suzanne. After lunch, as usual, I took the bus to town, dropped a book at the library, then walked to The Promenade. I was surprised to see the tide was out, uncovering lots of large stones. Waves were almost nonexistent and I saw only three surfers.
Walked to Main and stopped at The Coalition. Saw a beautiful tapestry of an angel and it was half-price because it was a Christmas item, so I snapped it up. Got off the bus to go to the uptown 99 Cent store to get what I mentioned above, then hopped on another bus for home.
Got in about 5:00 and stopped at Suzanne's to thank her for the tangerines and show her my tapestry.  She liked it a lot and suggested I hang it year-round. I won't, though, as I'm not religious and it seems hypocritical to do so. Nothing scheduled for today or tomorrow, but lots going on next week.
