Squeezing in Errands
Feb. 11th, 2025 04:00 pmMid morning today, I had a number of errands to run locally. The first was to drop off a parcel that was a return merchandise item for Kayla. To my annoyance, when I got to the UPS agency, they said they can't process the QR code that the vendor said would print a return label. I had to print one at home, tape it to the package, and bring it back, which I did later in the day.
Speaking of packages, there were a whole bunch of them waiting for me at the post office. I've been so busy with the Day Jobbe today that I still haven't had a chance to open any of them. I do know that one of them was a package of some European-made toothbrushes that Lisa found on her train travels last year. We found one place in the USA that sells them, and I got her five of them.
At Big R, I paid for a pallet of firewood, which will will collect by Thursday, and probably sooner, because there is snow and rain in the forecast for Wednesday night into Thursday. (The pallets of Press-to-Logs are wrapped in plastic.) The weather has been quite cold, with highs just above freezing and overnight lows down to -12&Deg;C.
Finally, I went to Grocery Outlet, which is running a promotion to win free groceries for life. Today was the last day to enter, and by spinning their virtual wheel online, I got 75 bonus entries. Not that I expect to win, since the promotion is for the entire chain, but it would be nice! At Lisa's suggestion, I bought a pound of ground beef. She's making spaghetti for us tonight.
Today I am burning the pallet and logs that Lisa cut up yesterday. It looks like it works out the about one day's worth of firewood, and thus one day's worth of Press-to-Logs that I don't have to burn.
