Today I also ran a slew of errands along Bell.  At Joann’s I found elastic to fix some of Tom’s sweatpants, at Barnes & Noble I got a fun calendar for Alex (though not snowboarding as I had hoped), at Bed Bath & Beyond I bought a couple of boxes of Chanukah candles to replenish my stash, and at Winco I picked up everything else (I hope!) that I’ll need for Wednesday.

Shoppers at the various stores all seemed to be in a the holiday mood, cheery and considerate.  Drivers on the road? Not so much.

After I ate lunch I planned to get back to sizing and sewing (on column 5) but didn't feel like I could concentrate properly with my headache back so I ended up doing this and that around the house instead.
