BUT - with the exception of stocking stuffers, my Christmas shopping is DONE!
Lord help me, I went out and about - on a Saturday - in December. I wanted to check two local shops for a particular thing for my brother and decided I'd just add on everything else and get it all done.
Of course, the thing I was specifically looking for? No luck. (I did find it online.)
But everything else, success. And overheating myself. And losing my car in parking lots twice. And forgetting yet again that if I do not have a snack before leaving the house on a multi-hour errand day, I need to plan where I am going to stop and get a snack so I'm not standing in the middle of a parking lot going, "Fuck, I need food NOW." (Luckily, there were chicken nuggets within walking distance.)
Huge props to Felix & Oscar for not only having great stuff for Lily, but the little drinks cooler that had ginger ale in it - I had hit the "overheated" point (I dressed for 45 degree weather, it was 58) and not quite realizing I needed food, but my brain saw it and went, "YES, WE NEED GINGER ALE!!" And it was so delicious.
I also still have the very nice skill of being to get in and out of Trader Joe's in under 15 minutes, even on a Saturday afternoon.
But damn, 8 stores, 10K steps and over 4 miles walked today. But it's done! YAY!
