Happy November, and Daylight
Whatever here in the States. It was nice to wake up to an ‘extra’ hour, but I’ve
been off all day because of it. Was expecting this morning’s glucose levels to
be sky-high after all that holiday candy last night, but it was only ten points
higher than yesterday’s first reading.
That said, I ended up at
Mal-Wart and secured approximately seven pounds of markdown candy for $6. Thing
is, I wasn’t even there for the sugar rush, I wanted to use my
first-of-the-month funds to snag those two Elsa ornaments I liked, before they sold
out or I forgot. They only had two left of each. Then I realized it was not
only the day after a ‘eat all the things’ holiday, but it was Sunday – yikes !
I figured it’d be a war zone, but nope. The costumes and clothes were in one
section, the candy and edibles were in two others. I got gourmet candy corn, Halloween-themed
salt water taffy, and two bags of fun-size decadence, skipped on the props and
makeup. And I got my new Frozen
ornaments. Also a free sample of a Fuji apple – delicious !
Wandered around a bit,
decided to get one more Frozen and Star Wars fat quarter, as I’d already
seen how pricey a yard of those stuffs were at Hancock Fabrics Friday. Not much
new in Toys, but I had fun looking around. Snagged the soda Beloved Hubby
favors and a day-old loaf of Italian bread and headed out.
I was bending to slide into
Emmy-car’s seat when a grackle landed
on her hood, tilted his/her head to one side, and let out the long half
whistle, half car alarm call that’s heard repeatedly from every parking lot in
this town all day long, especially in hot summer days with few puddles. He/She
reminded me of the way Junior-requests / demands food, and I laughed. Then I opened
up the Italian bread and fed some birds. It wasn’t long before I had a flock of
grackles, sparrows, and blackbirds, all trying to scarf up as much as possible.
I fed them five slices before I noticed they were more interested in intimidating
each other than eating – there was still bread on the ground – and headed out.
I’ll have to bring day-old bread out to the parking lot more often ! Or invest
in some bird seed.
