I ran some errands today. Just a very simple Saturday, really. But a great day. I went to the drugstore and got some vitamins and supplements - hopefully to help my waning immune system. I have never been this consistently sick - with sniffles, sneezes and stopped up. I'm giving myself a boost! And the vitamins were on sale!
Then I went to Old Navy - to exchange a sweater that I had ordered online, with several other things. [I was pleased with all of the items that I got, except this sweater. I just didn't like it when I saw it. I couldn't put my finger on it. Just the colors weren't what I had really wanted or expected. It was an army lime color (if you can even combine those greens) and crayola green argyle pattern on a very dark charcoal cardigan sweater. I got online to see if I liked another color, to maybe exchange it. And I saw the color of the sweater that I thought I had ordered - it was green and yellow argyle, on a lighter heather gray sweater. NOT what I had received!] So I went to the store today to exchange this sweater with the pink version. I went over the store twice and couldn't find these sweaters. I finally had to break down and ask someone - who didn't know what I was talking about either. So he took me to someone that found the sweaters! They had lots of the pink, tan and black ones. But no charcoal gray. Where were these gray and gross green ones that I had received...? My guess - that the color mix-up was a bad thing - and they were only going to sell them online - not giving them to the stores. So I got a pink one! And didn't have to deal with returning it by mail!
Then to Smith and Hawken for their store closing sale. I had seen a candle in a magazine that I had loved from their store. And when I went today, there was one left. Pretty much NOTHING left in the store - the fixtures are already being sold. But there was the candle! wow!
Last stop - the grocery store. I saw my pastor in the deli, where we talked a little about football, then we made laps around each other in the produce section. I spend so much time in that part of the store - and apparently he kept forgetting stuff too! And then at the checkout, I saw another friend, making a quick stop for laundry detergent. It was so fun saying hey to people I knew - and having the feeling of community! Almost like a small town.
And just as I finished loading the groceries in the car and got in to pull off, the rain started.
Just a simple day. But a good day.
