Soak Up the Sun

I slept in and didn't really do a whole lot today. When I did finally have breakfast around 9:30, I threw open the windows...and discovered a gorgeous, partly-sunny day that was probably in the 70s...TOO warm for March in New Jersey!

Naturally, a walk was mandatory on a day like this. I didn't get to take as long a walk as I wanted to because it was getting late, but I did get one in. I just went down Manor and back around to West Clinton. It was windy and so warm, I didn't even really need my blue hoody sweater. I was fine in my short-sleeved maroon false-layered blouse.

When I got in, I had a quick lunch of yogurt, an apple, and my home-made granola bars and rode to work. Work was on-and-off busy, with some annoying customers and a distinct lack of help. A lot of the college students and teenagers must have had been a little too free with the green beer last night. One called out; several others complained about hangovers.

I went straight into grocery shopping after I finished work. I got lucky. The Acme is having their big $1 for bagged produce sale. I grabbed bags of broccoli and cauliflower tops, vegetables for stir-fry, a small bag of five clementines, celery, and bagged, salted peanuts in their shells. Grapefruit were 3 for $1.99, Granny Smith apples were 99 cents a pound, and strawberries were $2.50. I also needed brown sugar, canned diced tomatoes, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and dried cranberries.

I have a pretty decent schedule next week. Slightly fewer hours, but otherwise, it's not bad. The only really late day is next Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday are once again my off days.
