Still sick but ran some errands

logisticsladI'm officially tired of being sick. I've just started by second round of antibiotics and am definitely feeling better, but not 100%. I'm frustrated that I cannot breathe well enough to do cardio at the gym. Hopefully, this time the drugs will clear things up. Regardless, I plan to go to yoga tomorrow and do what I can.
In order to get myself out of the house, I decided to run some errands and was gratified by finding more than I expected to. First stop was Homo Despot in order to pick up the new energy saving lightbulbs. This was very satisfying because I've had two lights out for the last week and a half and no bulbs to replace them! The new bulbs work great and are supposed to save a noticeable amount of energy. I also bought 9 volt batteries to replace the ones in my smoke alarms. And I finally bought a mailbox! Since I moved into the house 4 years ago, the postman has been delivering mail inbetween the screen door and front door. That's actually how many people on my block receive mail, but I figured it was time to put up and actual mailbox and randomly found a nice one. Now all I need to do is to borrow a friend with a drill in order to put it up.
Next stop was Linens and Things where I found a heavy duty mildew resistant shower liner. I definitely needed this. Nuff said. To my surprise, I also found that they had a reasonably priced beard trimmer. This was great since mine had died a few months ago and I was tired of trimming with scissors. I also bought a gift card as a present for my grad student who got married this weekend.
Then I went to Trader Joes and stocked up on yummy food. They were having a tasting of Korean spiced beef and vegetable fried rice. Score! I bought some for dinner tonight. Finally, I walked over to Staples to buy a set of colored index cards. This is for my new home improvement plan - I am going to write down all the things I want to do with the house on the cards and use colors to denote various rooms. Then I will pull out a card every week and make that the thing I do for the house that day. On my way out, I asked them if they sold postage stamps as I had been paying bills earlier and had run out. They did! So I am very very pleased with all I accomplished today with my errands.
