Saturday evening

 I was pretty busy on Friday. I could not figure out if the downtown post office was closing at 1 in the afternoon or their usual time at 5. In any case I wanted to be in Sunnyvale by 3. And I had to list 20 things. 

So  I got the 20 things listed on Ebay, packed two things that had to be shipped that day, and dropped them off at the downtown post office. Then I rode to Whole Foods, parked the bike, and after waiting a while got on a #22 bus to Sunnyvale. 

I walked across the street to Pizza My Heart and got a slice and some ice water, then back across the street to transact my business. That done, I looked around in Baraka Market and found a handful of things I wanted to buy but they don't have plastic bags so  I went next door to Walgreen's, got a couple of things and a bag, then back to Baraka's. 

Then got on a #522 bus back and got off at Race St. and went into the bike shop and picked up the new cloth part for my trailer. They were glad to see it go. They probably have a limited space to put things people are coming in to pick up. The gal counted up the credit I had, about $66 (and I still have no idea how I had credit at the bike shop) and I paid about $6 more. 

Then I walked back to my bike, put the stuff in the bags, got a few things there at Whole Foods, and rode for home. 

I stopped at Nijiya Market of course, and heard a saxophone. So when I was done there I walked to the corner and there was Leroy, tooting away. We had a good old time catching up on things, and he said he's actually headed for downtown to play after playing on the corner there, up from Nijiya Market. 

I asked about his new Selmer saxophone, which he'd bought, but doesn't want to take outside yet. He has to get used to it, since some of the buttons are different. I told him I'd just bought a new cornet and I feel kind of the same, about taking it out busking. 

I had so much fun catching up with Leroy I forget I needed to get back here ASAP because it's Shabbat. I got back in time though, and at the starting time, watched the "from home" service which was almost all various songs like "Shalom Aleichem" which I'm working on memorizing including the Hebrew lyrics, and a bunch of other good ones too. The service even ended with "Haktivah", a really good version. 

I lit my candles and had my grape juice and my dinner, and although I got to bed not too late, I ended up sleeping in until 1 in the afternoon.
