Thursday also brought a morning nap, which I can now barely remember. I barely remember most of the day. I ate a Mexican-style microwaved dinner, which was neither great nor terrible, and lately I've had a bowl of popcorn, and shortly I intend to munch a bit of chocolate and go to bed. I hope I can sleep well enough to be rested for my outing, but odds are I won't. But I've already put together an online order from the main store I'm going to, and all I have to do when I wake up is pick a pickup time and go through the online checkout.
The other store I want things from doesn't have pickup, but it shouldn't take too long to gather up the few items I need there, so it ought not be too exhausting. I managed to find most of what I need at the store that does have pickup. There will have to be a stop at the Dollar Tree for tissues, the only place where they can still be had at a reasonable price, and I should fetch another chocolate bar from Trader Joe's, which is almost next door to Dollar Tree, but I might be able to get my niece to do those two errands after she brings me home. At some point I need to get to CVS to buy another ballpoint pen, as the one I have is almost out of ink, and CVS is the only place I know of that stocks this particular type of pen.
I'm not especially tired, but I really want to get to sleep as early as possible tonight, and I'm hoping that a bit of reading will help. Something about print on paper seems to relax me, and I will often nod off after just a few pages. A drop of brandy might help.
