Yesterday I helped liz4jc4ever and flutterbyefred finish moving out of their apartment so it could be cleaned so they can move back in. Thankfully a co-worker was nice enough to let us use her full-size truck (F-250) to move some things like beds. We’re going to do something for her.
flutterbyefred brought along her boyfriend. He’s a really nice guy and I’m very happy for her. I think her being alone has really bothered me. I hope that he can be there for her. One thing that was a little odd is that he’s 6ft 7 …and I’m not really used to looking up at people that much. I look forward to getting to know him better … we’re all going to see Blast! at the Ordway on Oct 4th. It should be a blast (pun intended).
Today was spent in St Paul. We swung by the apartment to clean some stuff out from under then sink, then headed to Maplewood Mall so Liz could get some shoes. I got my watch fixed there too (back wasn’t on) … had to replace the battery even though it was nearly brand new. I suspect the battery got shorted while it was in the baggie with the watch. Anyway, it’s working again, and my wrist no longer feels empty. I also got a start on my Christmas shopping!!! Have stuff for my older sister and my mother. We then went to Har Mar Mall, where I got a cookbook that Jake and Brandy had recommended when we visited them a few weeks ago. From there we went to JCPenney in Rosedale Mall, where I finally found jeans that fit me, so I bought 5 pairs.
On the way home, we stopped in Hudson at Papa Murphy’s so Liz could update her phone number since she won’t be in her apt for 2 weeks. Lo and behold the owner was there and had tried calling her today. Now she has a job!! Yay! We grabbed a pizza, then some groceries, then headed home.
