3 kingdoms

 I woke up around noon, and then again around 2:30 maybe. When I woke up I had to remember what was on the agenda today - the bank. 

I got going around 3:30, and other than dropping off some trash, I went right to the bank. Amazingly, my calculation of my balance was dead-on. 

I went to Whole Foods and got a delicious meal. It was some lovely pulled pork, broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, and even a little onion got in there. And a near-beer. My meal was actually from three kingdoms, those being animal, plant, and fungus. 

After that I went over to Walmart. It was clear-ish but grey and wintry looking, and real hat and gloves weather as the warmest it got was the low 50s. 

I'd had to go to Walmart because I'd used up my gallon Ziploc bags and I got those and a ton of other stuff to the tune of about $65. But what's really funny is, while I was going around finding things I realized I had to use the bathroom and it was becoming non-negotiable. So I picked out one of those little packages of wet wipes and used the bathroom in there. It was a Walmart bathroom so ... I had to wipe the seat down with the wipes and dump the wad of "ass gaskets" in the holder on the floor to soak up the I-hope-it's-not-pee on the floor around the toilet, but I was able to have my ass explosion and thanks to the wipes, leave with a smile on my face. Whew! It's sure handy having that bathroom there. 

I headed back, stopping at the Amazon place where I got a lot of bubble mailers. What's funny is, while I was digging around pulling them out of the wastebaskets, a lady came in from outside, plopped a wrapped up package that smelled like food, and went right back out. It smelled like food, so I thought, "Well, that's not very polite, leaving their lunch leftovers here but I guess there are trash cans in here and she had to". I finished gathering my mailers and then noticed the package had a tag on it - it *was* someone's meal they'd ordered from a service like Door Dash. I took it the counter and told the gal there about it, and she said there's an apartment building next door and this happens once in a while. She was familiar with the apartment building and would take it over there. 

I stopped at Nijiya next and got more stuff. There was a young guy checking there who I think is the guy who learned some Japanese from anime but I'm not sure. He recognized me from a while back and was very friendly and we had a nice conversation about the crazy weather lately and such things. Also the store was unusually quiet and we remarked on how calm it was and how it was rather nice. 

I was really loaded up with stuff when I got back here, and I unloaded the stuff and hooked up the bike trailer and loaded a big box on and a step stool and went over to check out the medical place. Ken's bugged and I am too at how our sales are going lately. They "should" be up around 7 or 8 grand and instead they're hovering around 5. So I said I'll try to check the medical place more often, as a lot of the stuff I was getting out of there was selling pretty well. 

I found all kinds of things to load up there, all kinds of goodies. Sometimes I go there and there's nothing or next to nothing but this was not one of those times. So now I have more "toys to play with" by which I mean, things to list on Ebay.
