Reno Shopping
We originally meant to do a bunch of errands in Reno yesterday, but the forecast was for snow, so we held off for a day. There was no snow either yesterday or today (except up in the mountains), so we took a shot at getting things done today.
We did most of the errands we planned to do, including getting a small Christmas tree. It was pretty time-consuming, through, as a whole lot of other people also were out there. In the end, we skipping the largest grocery shopping stop and went home, because we were both worn out. So the errand list ended up being: Drop off recycling; try to go to Cost Plus World Market but balk because the queue was much too long; Whole Foods Market to return bottles and buy a couple of things; Stop at Best Buy to buy Lisa's Christmas present (a large SSD drive); Get a tree from Home Depot because I forgot we planned to go to Moana Nursery and we didn't want to back-track; Stop at Work World and get a couple of pairs of slacks for me (hooray, I've dropped down one size); Raley's for some groceries we can't get at WinCo; then go home instead of going to WinCo.
We'll have to make at least one more trip to Reno between now and Christmas, in order to do major grocery shopping and buy a ham for the holiday.
Lisa is still having some difficulty getting around, as she also injured her shoulder during the fun and games installing that door. We'll see if it's serious enough to take her to Urgent Care and get her shoulder X-rayed.
