It's busy out there

L wants to see the new Benjamin Button movie, says it sounds interesting. Well, they have a lot of movie gift certificates to use, that's for sure.

I went to the grocery store around noon and had difficulty finding a parking spot, it was so busy. I'm glad I won't be out there tomorrow. I panicked when someone went off with my grocery cart by mistake, but I caught up with them down one aisle. I've done that before a few times. I decided to do a frenched rib rack of pork in cranberry sauce tomorrow for Christmas eve when my sister comes over with her family. There was an older couple shopping in the aisles and the man said to me 'at my age I'm in no hurry to get anywhere', so it didn't matter people blocking his path for a bit now and then!

I decided to shovel a path through my neighbour's sidewalk to the mailbox. My neighbour keeps waiting for the town to do it, but it's been a few days. It never fails, they always drive out just as I'm in the act. So they said 'thank you'. She has a university age son living there that could do it. My girlfriend thinks I should report them to the town, but I can't do that. My neighbour on the other side always shovels a path right up to our driveway with his snowblower.

Now, I'll go for a walk, less traffic than driving to the gym I think.

Hi, Japra, we have boxing day sales here today (Dec 26), it's a public holiday for most people although the stores are open and giving massive discounts just for the day. We won't go as we don't enjoy braving the crowds.
