Life, etc.

At step class yesterday, the instructor told us there was a massive sidewalk sale at the mall, so we should make sure we didn't get too tired from exercising and be sure to check it out after! Good suggestion, I thought.

I was in a store and chatted a bit with a lady ahead of me in line. I noticed she was about 60'ish years old, pretty and petite with red hair and light coloured eyes. She was casually dressed, in a burnt orange jacket which went well with her colouring. She said she still fills xmas stockings for her grown family, although she should probably stop. I mentioned I was buying an athletic jacket with matching bottoms for my son (he loved it) as it's easy to buy for him since things pretty much always fit. She told me she had 3 granddaughters and said it would be nice to have a grandson, not that it really mattered. She said her son worries about her, since her husband passed away 6 years ago from cancer. You never know what you'll hear on any given day. I felt sorry for her.

I got L some new avocado body butter. I don't think she'll have time to go prom dress shopping until after her mid-February university application deadlines. I may have to courier one of them in, but I warned her not to wait until the night before as even couriers need some lead time.
