the_rckApparently my parents have already returned to Baton Rouge. I wouldn’t have known except that I just got an email from my mother telling me not to worry, that they’re fine, that their house is fine, that they can reach the grocery stores just fine. They just barely made it home ahead of the highway closures. My step-father’s office is in a part of campus that isn’t flooded, but he can’t get there because there’s flooding between where they live and his office.
I ended up trying to nap most of the morning and in that state where I was almost asleep but not quite able to reach sleep. At this point, I’ve given up on that and am just living with the kind of tired headachiness.
Scott freaked out a little when I suggested donating the toy shelf today. He seemed to feel that adding that to our errands meant that we had to leave instantly and that he couldn’t take time for anything else. At this point, I’m pretty sure we’ve got at least three hours before the PTO Thrift Shop closes (I haven’t looked it up), and they might well be open later than that. It might take us five minutes to load the car and half an hour to get there. The library’s open until 6:00, so we can do that after and then the groceries. The only deadline on the groceries is when the pharmacy closes which is something else I need to look up. The selection of food available tends to decrease later in the evening, but I don’t think we’re planning to get anything that will disappear altogether.
Okay, the pharmacy and the PTO Thrift Shop both close at 5:00. I have one singulair tablet left, so I don’t absolutely need the prescription until tomorrow, but I don’t want to put it off and discover, at the last minute, that I have to get myself out to Kroger to pick it up because Scott is unexpectedly working late. I mean, the pharmacy is open until 9:00 on weekdays, so Scott could get there even after working until 7:00. It’s just a lot to ask of him at that point.
