(no subject)
It's been a while since I have posted something here so I figured it was time. I don't have anything exciting to post. In fact, I am feeling rather "blah" right now. As much as I like not having to rush into Shabbat at this time of year, I also feel like there is this gap of time that just sucks the day away. I think the rain today is what is making me feel this way. I was able to get out of work earlier than expected (but still after 1pm). I had to pick up a few things at a store and I was trying to figure out to which store to go. I had the great idea that I would walk to the Foggy Bottom station and take the first train that came, heading towards VA. If it was Blue, I would go to Pentagon City and shop at the Harris Teeter there and pick up a gift at the Mall. If it was Orange, I would go to Ballston Commons, go to that Harris Teeter and find a gift at that Mall. But with the rain and the time (and my soaking shoes since I used them to clear the drain behind the synagogue so that the courtyard would drain the 2 inches of standing water back there), I decided to wait for the 38B bus and go to Ballston. I was hungry, and it was raining, and who knows when the next bus going that way would come, so I just turned around, walked to Trader Joe's and got the items that I needed before 9am on Sunday morning. No bridal shower gift (hopefully the bride isn't reading this before the shower, although I might make it some place tomorrow night to get a gift), but at least I was able to get some lunch before it was too late. Not too exciting but yummy: peanut butter and blackberries (not jam, jelly or preserve, the actual berries) on cranberry-pumpkin bread.
