(Old) Airmail in the MMP

Good morning.

It’s 43F and sunny outside. We’ll hit 70F by late afternoon, and the forecast calls for plentiful sunshine.

Happy Birthday, Wetone!

52, I’m glad the bank caught the fraud very quickly. I have my accounts set to text me the minute a transaction occurs. Almost two years back, I got pinged about a charge while at home. I called the bank immediately, and the card was shut down, my funds were returned, and a new card was issued.

I have decided to go to a custom/specialty shop for the bras. Unfortunately, the only one in my county is clear over in Gig Harbor, so that’s a trek. There’s another in King County that is actually closer than the one in Gig Harbor. So, I’ll have to decide which one to go. I went to Kohl’s yesterday and had much the same luck as I did the previous day. I came home with two as a temporary measure, but they just don’t fit correctly. I usually wear Wacoal, but it seems no one but Macy’s carries it in-store, and the Macy’s aren’t nearby either. It’s all very annoying.

Anyway, I went to Costco to purchase salad ingredients, desserts and picked up a couple of items for home. After Costco, I went to Dollar Tree to get bowls for the salads, but their supply had been mostly wiped out. I picked up two there, but decided to go to Michael’s to see if there was anything better. Most everything was wiped out there, too. There must have been a lot of graduation parties! We used to have Party City and Party Universe stores, but they shut down, so my choices were pretty limited. Anyway, I have some bowls, salad tong/spoon thingies, cake cutters, and fruit knives. Plus, cake boards to put the long cakes on.

After dropping that stuff off at home, I made the aforementioned trip to Kohl’s.

Upon my return home, I did laundry, steamed my outfit for today, and watered my plants.

I’ll be hopping in the shower in about an hour, and I’ll be out of the house by around 9:00 a.m. I’ll head down south and help set up for the memorial service and prep my salads (there’s a kitchen there). The service runs from noon to three, and I’ll have to help clean up, too. It’s going to be a long day, and after all the running around last week and this weekend, I don’t want to go anywhere tomorrow.

You all take care of yourselves.
