Errands can eat up an entire day. This morning I fed and watered the dogs and took them out into the fenced back yard to do their "business". I had coffee, checked e-mail, and prepared my list. Once I'd showered, I was off to mail a book I had sold via half.com on ebay; to get gas for the car (got it at Speedway station-- the price was $2.94/ gallon and with my "Speedy Rewards card" the price came down to $2.89/ gallon).
Stopped at the Pet Supplies Plus store, as that is the only local shop carrying Pro Plan dog food by Purina. Pro Plan is the preferred food for Jasper, as he is a stud dog for Leader Dogs for the Blind.
Jackson, on the other hand, would eat anything-- in fact, diligently tries to eat my rugs, my floor, my shoes...
While at Pet Supplies Plus I picked up another leash (since one of ours is standing in for a defective latch on the tie-out for Jackson in the backyard), dental-chews, Nylabones, and doggie treats.
Rewards seem to work well with these two.
On to Target (NEVER the dreaded Wal-Mart of Evil), where I picked up a 40DD bra (*sigh*) as well as organic coffee, Reeses Peanut Butter cups (for my cast of Much Ado About Nothing-- I don't touch the stuff), and CLR cleaning supplies and Drano for the tub.
Home to take the dogs out again, water the tomato plants and stake them upright, loaded some more books for sale onto my account on half.com, got the mail, put away dishes, made myself lunch: potatoes, spinach, eggs and cheese stir fried together, and drank some orange juice.
Answered some more e-mail. Wound up the clock... started it once again when it stopped...
All this, accomplishing small tasks, while avoiding the really large ones still ahead: Dissertation work, sewing a cape for Much Ado About Nothing, starting publicity for Much Ado, deciding on a script for Boxfest, and perhaps finding some order in my life.
