This font is called Happy Monkey. I am using it today because I feel very happy....as if I have gotten away with some unexpected shopping fun of my own! hahaha
I had a great visit with my coffee buddy this morning. Our husbands are also becoming better and better friends, so it is ideal when all 4 people can relate and enjoy each other's company.
After lunch my husband decided we needed to complete the shopping list of outstanding items that we started purchasing yesterday. Off we went again across the city. Most of the purchases were practical items for our household and my husband's workshop, BUT eventually we ended up at Victoria Square where I got a chance to get out of the car and walk up and down the mall....or what remains of the mall. Oh my goodness, so many places I used to shop at there are gone. They have been replaced by a couple of video game parlours, and a large community centre that was filled with teens making good use of the space. I am glad I went up there to see the place, but I have little reason to ever go there again now as my usual haunts have vanished. Victims of online shopping and rental increases?
It was good to get out and walk after doing my physio between 7am and 8am today so I could get it done before my company arrived. Lots more walking is going to help restore the muscles that have atrophied so badly.
Our last stop was at a sports store where my husband purchased a new waist pack. For some reason, in the ten years we have lived here we have never been into The Prairie Summit sports shop. They have an amazingly large selection of athletic outerwear, backpack repair parts, etc. etc. From now on when my husband needs such gear he will shop there first. It is a very cool place and looks deceptively small from the outside of the building. It carries many things that Fresh Air Experience doesn't carry and vice versa.
While my husband was in Prairie Summit, I realized there was a Rhoda's consignment shop just down the block so away I went for a bit more walking. In there I found, FINALLY, the perfect black purse for myself....brand new, hard sided, lots of separate spaces inside for the sorting I like to do of my carry-belongings. I bought it and the cutest little mint green knee length pullover sweater vest that will look great over either black or white pencil pants and skinny tops. The sweater vest has all kinds of holes in it and it is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time. What fun I ended up having at our last pit stop!
It is hot again today of course, but we were able to open one upstairs and one downstairs window a few minutes ago, so there is a bit of fresh air exchange going on that is much appreciated. Having an air conditioned car certainly has made our last couple of days of errand running pleasant!
Along our route this week we came across the Domo gasoline station on the northern part of the city Reserve land and as usual the price of gasoline there was lower due to not having to pay most of the government taxes. Gasoline jumped up as much as 15 cents a litre yesterday to an average of one dollar and forty two cents a litre. We got ours at the Rez station for one dollar and twenty two cents a litre. It was certainly worth the short line up we were in to take advantage of the price.
Time to go and look in the fridge and cupboards to see if there is something creative I can prepare later for dinner tonight.
