0) Rainy Forecast
Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest. Oooh, Friday looks nice…
1) Buy Creamer
My first stop this morning was to buy some Dunkin’ creamer at the only place in town that still sells it. First Fred Meyer quit, then Albertsons, followed quickly by Safeway.
2) Salted Caramel Latte
This will brighten my day. Stop #2 is practically across the street from Target and something I have greatly missed, a Salted Caramel Latte from Stomping Grounds.
3) Return Wrong Drill Bit
Before heading off on my latest adventure, I had purchased a step drill bit for a GTI mod, but it wouldn’t fit into where I needed it to. Time to get my $8 back.
4) Haircut
I was long overdue for a cut. My usual period between trims is every 4 weeks, but I was at six. What little hair I still have left starts to be unruly after a month.
5) Drop Off Land’s End Return
Another pre-trip purchase that needed returning was a pair of pants from Land’s End that didn’t fit. When I first went into Kohl’s, I headed straight for the Amazon Returns counter. They told me it was at the regular Kohl’s return area. When I got there, they said, “No, it is back at the Amazon counter.” Back I went, and after much conversation I finally convinced the person behind the counter to scan the QR code. Bingo.
6) Return Another Drill Bit
The second drill bit was too long as well. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get that aftermarket clutch pedal stop in there.
7) I’ve Got Mail
I went and looked in my mailbox, and it was stuffed. The postal folks just jammed the mail in my mailbox. 4 catalogs, 5 weekly fliers, 4 Christmas cards, a jury summons for Donna, and a crap ton of pleas to donate something to somebody. Last time they just ditched this stuff.
