 I apparently miss being busy.  Today I ran a bunch of errands, was obnoxiously a bit of a failure and got a few things done.

1.  I drove to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway because my brother mentioned there was a flag there that was on sale and some cool IMS masks.  He wanted me to buy them online.  If they had been on sale on Amazon, I would have jumped on that like the Amazon geek that I am.  But instead this had a $15 shipping fee SO I drove the 15 mins over there, got my temperature tested, filled out a form, had a personal shopper pick out what I needed, grabbed two postcards - one for Riley and one for my niece and nephew and got the heck out of dodge.  I do like the serenity of the track when it's quiet and empty but I love it when it's loud too.  Maybe not all those people though.

2. I went to Menards.  Rick mentioned some cleaner that he found there once so I checked to see if it was there.  It was not but I saw some cleaner for "musty smells" that I need to try in Riley's bathroom.  I didn't want to buy it though because I didn't want to wait in line for something I didn't need.

3. I went to my parents' to pick up a stuffed pepper for Rick that my dad had made using peppers out of our garden.  He asked (multiple times) if I wanted one.  I did not.

4.  I went to Michaels and picked up what I needed which included three picture frames and a Halloween decoration.  I saw the line.  I put everything back and took two tylenol.

5.  I grabbed a sandwich for lunch from a drive thru.  I am still afraid of restaurants.  I really wanted a soda.  I did not get one but I had some water.  I told myself I could have a tea later from Sonic.  HAHA  The lunch was gross.  I threw it away.

6.  I stopped by the house because I forgot my Riley buckets.

7.  I drove past Sonic and told myself I could have a cold cider from the orchard.

8.  I went to Kroger to meet my brother to give him the stuff from IMS.  He gave me a pack of gum as a thank you.  I had a mask on so I don't think it was because my breath was stinky.  I bought the stuff I needed from the store.  I said a few bad words because there was no tomato juice OR celery.  Oddly enough, the celery isn't going in the tomato juice.  I heard a weird clunk as I got in the car.

9.  I got to the orchard and realized the weird clunk was my purse falling out the car.  I said more bad words.  I swapped out the Riley buckets (the lady snotted at me because I don't have lids for all the buckets (people in hell want frozen cider), did NOT get any apple cider, emailed the hospital to get lids and called Kroger.

10.  Picked up my purse at Kroger.

11.  Bought the four things that I needed from Meijer and ONLY the four things I needed from Meijer.  Realized on the way out that I hadn't bought any cider.  

12.  I went to Sonic and bought a GIANT iced tea.

13.  I went back home.

In other, happier, news...

The bucket from the orchard had lots of donations!
