I could stay home, and be online, and Bob could sit and watch TV and read books. I could cook and clean.
Today we planned for, and chose a road trip.
We were going to have breakfast, then shop, but they have torn down the restaurant we had planned for.
So we started shopping. First was Hobby Lobby. For those who do not know, it is a massive craft and decoration store. Christmas stuff was 50% off. I wanted a couple of ornaments for a little tree I have and I needed an ornament for an exchange at school. Of course I bought more than that. I will put up some pictures later.
I left Hobby Lobby feeling calm and peaceful and relaxed and happy. Yay!!
Then Aldi for some groceries. I was hoping to find a fruit cake for Bob. I do not care for it and my doctor says it is not good for me. I got stuff for a starter for a Friendship cake, which in this case is also a fruit cake. I do like it.
I needed Walmart stuff as well and it was in the same shopping complex, but first we needed to eat. We went to IHOP. Also in the same shopping center.Have not been to one in ages. The food was tasty, and predictable and pricier than I liked but that is true everywhere.
Then Walmart. I got some good deals in addition to the catfood I like to buy and the deicer for my windshield wiper reservoirs. I have been needing that every morning.
We were in Emporia, but we decided to go to Newton a totally different direction, to get my last prescription. I could have gone to get it tomorrow, Sunday, but I would rather enjoy church and a potluck instead.
I paid $47 co pay. They said my insurance saved me $686. How do people afford that!! This is a diabetes drug.
We are still full from lunch and we are relaxing. I am thawing my veggies to make a casserole for the potluck. It is easy to make otherwise.
I also have my Monday trash mostly all out and taken to the street. Good deal.
Did you have a nice day today?

Yesterday and today have been balmy and warm although hubby says his "snow toe" expects precipitation soon. It LOOKS like it could snow but it is 47 F. Much too warm for snow.

@GardenGerty Maybe you will get rain? We have gotten our share; it's been raining here since Sat. morning and continuing through Tuesday evening.

You got a lot done. Walmart has had Claxton Fruitcake for years but now it is overpriced. Claxton makes a nice fruitcake. Have a good day.

The stores in Emporia did not have any. I could have gotten Stollen or Panetone for him at Aldi. I think what stores sell where is determined by demographics.

Yes, it was pleasant. Quiet morning friend came down about 2. We dropped off my car for inspection although I doubt they will get it done for a few days,and then came back he worked on cutting the tree that fell. I made supper, and of course we interacted with the pets.Iwas online some too and decorated.

I did have a relaxing Sunday and mostly indoors. I had to clean the house , wash clothes and then had a few pending tasks completed them. Also watched few episodes of "The Mentalist" and well made a few phone calls as well. I wanted sometime to relax as I have been constantly working even on weekends for last few months and guess mental and physical breakdown .So wanted to be more relaxing. I do have a busy week ahead and need to be ready for same.I was not aware of Hobby Lobby earlier. Good to know your day went well. Enjoy the day!

Boy! You really did some major shopping didnt you? You saved so much on your prescription. I hope I am as lucky with my new insurance. My other was so nice.

Shortly we'll be heading to the clubhouse for the Christmas dinner. We get two free cocktails each then possibly no-one will care what the meal is like but it's bound to be good - and traditional, I'm sure.

Maybe because it's Sunday, you can relax a little more and enjoy your free time after working all week.
