Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 53

Today's Daily 5:

  1. accomplishing a needed grocery trip (even on a busy Saturday at my least favorite store)
  2. good quality chocolate
  3. a day for resting
  4. spider viewing/killing via skype (I was chatting with an overseas friend when she spotted a very large spider in her room, disappeared long enough to get a container to capture it in, reappeared, captured it for later disposal, and then displayed it to me!  I reminded her that I have had nightmares filled with spiders in the past.  She then reminded me that she felt I was safe, since a sealed container and about 8,000 kilometres separated me from this particular spider!)
  5. the joy of laughing with a friend who knows me really well

Saturday at the Soul-Sucking Mega Store

Would you believe that I braved the soul-sucking mega store (my pet name for a local grocery chain) on the morning of Thanksgiving Saturday?  Crazy.  Not a well thought through plan.  I rarely shop at that store any more, but I found myself there today, picking up the groceries needed for the next couple weeks of work lunches.

It was, well, horrible.

I'm spending part of this afternoon hanging out on skype with one of my favorite people.

And I'm planning to spend most of the weekend simply resting.

It'll be good to rest.
