THURSDAY WAS BUSY as we journeyed back to the city for a haircut for Hubby. He just about forgot about the appointment. Oops again. The recall came and away we went. I waited in the car while he got his locks cut figuring out what else we needed to do while we were in town. He did well and made the next appointment for 6 weeks in the books.
The drive over was pleasant as the traffic wasn't bad at all and it is one of the prettiest AUTUMNS we have had in a long time. Very colorful with brilliant oranges, vivid yellows and flaming reds. I have to stop and take it all in before it quickly disappears while the leaves are flying off the trees in the Kansas winds. Behold the beauty.
First, we stopped for our medicinal iced tea then went to Barber's for the haircut. Close by was Dillons to mail a box for a Grandson, but they no longer provide a Postal Service so we drove over to the actual downtown Post Office amongst all the road construction. While hubby took care of mailing the box, I drove around the neighborhood gawking at Halloween decorated houses and lawns.
The box wasn't overly large and cost $13 and some change to St. Louis. Hubs said if it had been mailed overnight, it would have cost $50.50. What do you mean? FIFTY DOLLARS! For a box of candy, a ceramic pumpkin and a Christmas ornament? I can no longer ignore the high prices. Tis shocking. Whose idea was this after all? $50...shake my head crazy.
Wanted to go to Target to return a purchase I made about 3 weeks ago. The hour glass had a cracked body that I did not see because the grains of sand covered the damage. The return took place.
Burritos for Lunch, Dollar Tree for migraine meds, 5 Below to see if they had any more pool noodles, Goodwill for fun, Menards for water. Ready for HOME. Twas dark out and when we got HOME, it was time to relax and watch some TV.
THE MIDDLE ran from 2009 to 2018. Never watched it in the day. Actually thought it was funny. Binge watching now. Lights out.
Slept well.
This week-end I'll be decorating a couple of flower urns we have. Garland was purchased at half off from HOBBY LOBBY to wrap the pumpkins that will sit in the urns. Hopefully the pool noodles I place in the urns will hold the pumpkin's weight. If so, I'll go with the flow and circle the pumpkins with faux leaves. May it work. If so, they'll be in front of the porch on either side of the steps.
MONTH OF OCTOBER. In my head, I had planned to tidy the Pantry during the month of October. I just about haven't made it. Will clean out the Pantry TODAY and take inventory while restocking the Pantry. Hubs said he'd HELP ME. Good deal. I can use his help. Together we will clean out the Pantry and take inventory of the goods so we know where we're at food wise.
You may have already heard the media express an interest in being stocked up on food and water. I like having a well stocked Pantry all the time. We'll see what we have and go from there before THE MID-TERM ELECTIONS. Will there be a major BLACKOUT that disrupts the food supplies? I think there will be as our President wages WAR on other countries.
To get more money to fund his wars, he more than likely will do a strike so our government gives him money. I'm concerned about a nuclear strike taking place. Nuclear. Oh Lord, I pray that the strongman be bound.
Our morning has been a slow paced one where we drank our coffee and talked. For the first time, I ordered from AUGASON FARMS as we had our coffee break. I had wanted to order some powdered eggs since CO VID! They were on back order and I never got back to it until NOW. 6 years later. Now that's slowpoke-itis and a half. I used dried corn one time in my life as a newly wed and haven't been back.
Taking inventory on food supplies is an important thing to me. Tis way over due. Taking inventory on LIFE is necessary. SO be it. This is the season of LIFE to do this.
