the_rckMy sister took her son and Cordelia to a trampoline place about forty minutes from here. I stayed home because I needed to run a couple of errands. I took the bus out to our bank. I left later than I'd hoped to, but the bus was less crowded than I'd feared it would be, given the time of day.
When I finished at the bank, I considered the bus schedule and the logistics and realized that it would take longer for me to take the bus to Kroger than just to walk there. Of course, Scott had an unusually short commute and ended up getting back to Ann Arbor before I'd reached Kroger. I'd expected that we'd arrive there at about the same time because he usually takes about 40 minutes to get home.
At any rate, we met up about two blocks short of Kroger and then did the shopping together. I'd left the grocery list at home which was frustrating. Cordelia had gotten home by then and texted me a photo of the list. I got cranky about needing to wake up my phone and re-expand the list over and over and over.
We had lunch with Scott's parents today. I almost got into a political argument with his father during the meal which is not a thing that normally happens. His father and I usually both avoid anything political.
I'm kind of wondering if this is a sign of aging, mine or Scott's father's. He also has forgotten which streets are which in our town. He used to know. I get the impression that he's leaning harder on his certainties about how the world works because any sort of change adds disorientation.
We spent a little time today posting things on Ebay. Scott has done it before, but we wanted to show Cordelia the steps so that she can do the work on some things I want to sell.
Right now, Scott and I are working on a DVD that's due back at the library tomorrow, and I'm trying to get myself to work on one of three urgent writing projects. I've got one story due tomorrow evening and one due Wednesday. I also have to have that paperwork done by Wednesday.
I skipped ahead on the paperwork to deal with the job search and hobbies sections. I've done part of the medical history section, and I'm looking at the rest with trepidation because the questions are all slanted and judgy.
