I got up, v. unenthusiastically, at 5:30am. I actually woke up at 4:30 and couldn't really fall back asleep, which made it even more unfortunate. But I dragged myself out of bed, made coffee (in my new coffeemaker, yay), and then [censored] and I drove up to Des Moines to pick up my dad's truck. We got there shortly after the service center opened, and [censored] and I parted ways ten minutes later - [censored] to come home and get started with the rest of his day, while I did a bit of grocery shopping.
First, though, I grabbed some McDonald's and then took a nap in the Whole Foods parking lot. Then I stocked up on gluten free frozen meals - even though they're basically awash in plastics, sometimes desperate times call for a little extra cancer risk. And then I went downtown to check out an Asian grocery store I've been wanting to go to - it wasn't as impressive as H Mart, but it was quite well laid out and had a lot of tings, and if you want pigs' feet I now know where to get them. Their produce looked especially promising, but I didn't get any because my plans this week mean I won't have time for cooking.
Then I drove home, with a quick stop at a greenhouse for some poinsettias (for me) and a grab bag gift (for some lucky Garden Club person). When I got home, I unloaded the car, made some more coffee, and helped [censored] deliver the truck to mom and dad's. We hung out there for a bit, and then I came home, attempted to do tings, and mostly failed.
But I made breakfast for dinner, which was tasty, and I made a bunch of lists and did some laundry and took care of other tasks. And now I'm going to go to bed early and hope that I recover my energy so I can do all the tings tomorrow - goodnight!
