Running around
Was awakened before I was ready this morning by the local ambient noise. Made the best of it; went out and visited the Entermann's store, Publix and the library.
That makes two visits to the library in two days; the trouble was, they were closed yesterday on account of no power (IDEK, rly). Collected the book they were holding for me---the newest Armistead Maupin, Mary Ann in Autumn, a Sophie Kinsella and a crafts book..
From there, I went and played Santa, which would've been a little easier if I'd thought to take the address with me---I've only been there once before. Anyway, I did find it and drop off a wish list gift, so yay, I feel a little less Scroogely. (Which is what happens when you're in limited circumstances at this time of year.)
On the way home, I was getting to Byrd Plaza when my inner voice reminded me that I've been craving Chinese food for days, nay, weeks! and the next thing I knew, I was in the turn lane and aimed for China Garden and some port lo mein. And I have leftovers for tomorrow, yay!
I'm trying to stay awake...all I need is to doze off til ten, then I'll be awake til mid-morning, which will thoroughly bugger up my sleep schedule for the whole weekend. Do. Not. Want. It doesn't help that the temps are dropping again and hibernating under a stack of covers sounds heavenly. I need to sit down with assorted packages and wrap them, as one of my purshases at Publix was some pretty paper with poinsettias on it. (Yes, I have tape AND I know exactly where it is---in fact, I'm looking right at it.)
Was planning to do some cleaning to make room for the pony (Santa's bringing me one this year, I'm sure of it!), but there's still tomorrow....
