Groceries and Laudate Dominum

When I started out for Kimball, it was raining just a bit--not even a drizzle, more like a mist--but it stopped and I completed the circuit.
Puttered around and changed clothes (I wear the same things every week because I want my weight record to be as accurate as possible), then left for T.O.P.S. Leader Lennie is back from Iowa and "conducted" the "meeting." Yes, those quote marks will tell you something. I read the minutes I had taken at the last meeting and there was this and that and so on and so forth, about one eighth of which was weight related. I lost a scant pound, but I was satisfied, as it brought me back to 130, within my "zone." Didn't get breakfast until after 10 and I then set out on my grocery trek.
Just as my mother used to, I read the ads and write down who has what at the best price. I also have something called "Just for you" from Vons. It transfers the electronic "coupons" onto the phone and I just have to show it to the cashier in order to get the special price. Besides that, I found a single coupon on the Sprouts site that covers the things I bought there: green peppers, cucumbers, and frozen scallops. Went to Ralph's for the best price in blueberries, plus Dave's Killer Bread, the only kind I buy. Vons had a special on Cottonelle, also the only kind I buy of that necessity, so I went there, too.
After putting everything away, I did a load of wash. Saw adorable little Brindley (18 months) and her Nana, Andrea, at the laundry place and had a nice chat. Luckily, I got everything home before more rain started.
I e-mailed Jim C. to see what day was best for him for lunch with the Acting for Amateurs grads. He said Friday or Saturday, so I think I'll go for a Friday--maybe at Mimi's restaurant, but I haven't decided. Jim also sent me a link to an incredibly beautiful rendition of Laudate Dominum, by Katherine Jenkins:

While I was having lunch, Betty called asking me to send her another copy of my diet regimen. She doesn't know how to get email  on  her IPad--or maybe you can't get it, I don't know, so I said I'd send a hard copy. I printed it out and walked to the P.O. a few blocks away. After, I debated getting a bus for town, but decided against .it. My foot (bunion) hurts a fair amount when I walk, plus it started to rain, so no.
Yoicks! I just looked at my calendar and saw I'll be meeting Susan and Pat at Union Station in LA Tuesday, so I won't be able to go to Santa Barbara. On Monday, I have lunch with the widder group and on Wednesday Happy Hour, so maybe Thursday--or maybe I'll skip it next week. Will mull it over.

Magnificent voice and music.

Monday

 I slept pretty well, I'm happy to say: got up once, but went back until after 6:00.  Got a call from Zak Dental to see if I could come ...
