Today I got up at 8:30 horray for me. Now I just need to wake up by 8AM tomorrow, so I have 1/2 hour to wake up and 1/2 hour to ride to the temple to make the meeting with the rabbi I have, that is scheduled for 9AM.
But today I packed a few things, had breakfast, etc., and got out of here around 11AM, went to the bank and first thing, asked if the last deposit I'd made, last week, was for $800. It was. Ken, last night, made out my weekly pay check for $400, but also gave me one dated December 1st, for $800. I said he'd already paid me, but I'll ask at the bank to make sure, and if I've already been paid (I have) I'd have the $800 check here for him to figure out what to do next.
Post office drop-offs done and banking done, I rode over to Whole Foods to lock up the bike and get a Siggi yogurt drink, and walked over to the train station. I only had to wait about 15 minutes, and it seems during the middle of the day like this all the trains are locals so going to Menlo Park is no problem. The new electric trains are really nice too.
I got my business done, and stopped in at the Starbucks there for use of their loo and to have some kind of pastry with turkey and rosemary or something in it. It was actually pretty good.
I counted at least 4 shops on Santa Cruz avenue there, selling "Persian" or "Oriental" rugs. Really nice ones, the prices are probably like the prices of cars.
I got on a train back, and got off at California Avenue to go to Mollie Stone's and got a few things, then rode back to Diridon. I went to the little store there and had a bag of popcorn while talking to the lady, who loves to talk about things relating to bicycles.
I went back to Whole Foods and got a few more things, then rode to the Amazon place for some bubble mailers, then to Nijiya for a few things (like dinner) and then rode back here as it honestly turned from a little drizzle to rain.
It felt good to get back in here and hang my wet clothes up and sit here with heater on.
