Shopping Day

I kept waking up all night long, so I didn't want to wake up when the alarm went off. But, its garbage day and the devil demands his due.

It was snowing and sleeting here, but the temperature was one degree above freezing. The pictures I saw on the News showed a lot of wet snow, north of here, though.

At lunch Monday, I went back to Lowe's to see if they restocked my radius cap tile yet (I got all they had at the Westland and Canton stores, but I still need another 30 pieces) I talked to the guy working there when I saw there were no new boxes and he said that tile is discontinued and won't be reordered. Yikes! So, he called around and found they still have 112 left in the Southfield store.

That's why today at lunch; I was driving up to 12 Mile and Telegraph to the Southfield Lowe's (about 22 miles from where I work) in all this crappy weather. They did have the tile, so I bought a box of 34. I'll take any extras back after the project is done.

On the way back to work, I stopped at the Mall and got my Franklin planner refill for next year.

Then, on the way home, I stopped at Westborn for the short list of extra ingredients I need to make my side dishes for Thanksgiving dinner at Jake and Carla's. I finally got home and unpacked, just before 6:00 PM.

I cleaned up the kitchen and then made an old favorite for dinner: a big onion, sliced, four or five baby redskin potatoes, thin sliced, and a coil of Hillshire smoked sausage, cut on the bias, all fried to perfection in my big skillet.

I ate that reading my book, then went to bed, still reading my book.
