1st February 2019
It was a little warmer today, this meant that it would take twenty minutes to freeze to death.
I had no intention to do that, so I agreed to go shopping with Kelli, but that was after we delivered the double drawer blanket box. The meeting place was a car park in Port Sheldon.
Which in itself was strange because it is not a port, and is not near the water.
This was the first sale for February, a good start because Michigan is still under a lot of snow, and sales are alway slow this time of the year.
We stopped off at Habitat for Humanity, a store that sells off surplus building materials and furniture. I was looking for plywood off-cuts to use as drawer bottoms for old Shaky.
No luck there so it looks like I will have buy new.
Next stop was Aldi.
We had to do shopping for the in-laws so I was in control of their trolley. Kelli had the lists which meant I had to catch the items threw at me. The store had suffered from delayed deliveries so the place resembled a Russian supermarket on a normal day.
Once we got home, Kelli started dinner. “ Did you get a cabbage?” I looked blank, “ Ah no” I feebly replied. It was like I swore at the Pope. “That was what I wanted to make for dinner”
“What cabbage, what kind of a meal would that be?”
There followed an exchange that went into great detail of what the meal would be and how I had ruined it.
I decided the best course of action was to offer to go to the corner shop to get some, I tried to look pathetic (some say I had a head start) but no, Kelli quickly re-planned and came up with an amazing alternative. I did say cheekily, that it would have been better with some cabbage. The response I got I could not repeat even in print, so I will just have to listen more next time.
Another Lifetime to go
