Late And Late

Saturday was one of those days of dominoes. It started off with me deciding to watch a dvd before I had to return to to the libray. It was the 1983 film 'Cujo', and I watched it. After a time, I took all three of the discs I'd checked out to the video store, figuring that I might get some other things done. I wanted to do my laundry, but decided that I didn't have enough quarters. First, I thought, I'll go over to the bank to get more.

I had thought about when the library would close, but gave no thought whatsoever to when the bank might do so. I confidently walked up to the doors with a full head of steam, but found the door resistant. Stunned, I started to walk away and then turned back to look again. There was the location's hours on the door. Sure enough, it was some thirty minutes too late. There would be no laundry cleaned for me on this day.

Drivin' Around

Today, I helped out a family friend by driving her to some appointments and errands. Ultimately it's tiring, but I was glad to help someone who's been very kind and generous to me. First, it was a doctor's appointment. Then, a package needed to be mailed. Lastly, a trip into central Phoenix for one last task.

At that point, a breather was needed, so we headed back to base and relaxed for a bit before heading to this blogger's childhood home and getting some tasty NYPD pizza. Then, I dropped of our family friend and went back to the family house to spend some time with Dad. Tomorrow, it's Mom time, and in the evening, I head back to our nation's second most populous city.
