So yeah, I pretty much wasted the day yesterday. I only ventured outside of the condo to get the mail, despite the fact that it was a beautiful day, as those are the best kind to waste.
Of course today it’s not quite so beautiful, as a cold front has moved in and it’s considerably colder.
I left the windows open overnight, so it was pretty damn cold in here this morning (it’s still only 61 degrees in here). When I was lying in bed sometime after 8 I heard something falling. It sounded like it came from my closet, but I wasn’t about to get up, so I told myself “Maybe it was something upstairs.”
When I finally did get up and headed to the bathroom I found that my shower curtain rod had fallen down, as it’s a tension rod and apparently, as a result of the cold, had contracted.
I closed the bathroom door when I took a shower so as to make sure the steam heated things up sufficiently to cause the rod to expand in place.
(And that’s the last time I’m ever going to mention contracting and expanding rods here, I think.)
After showering I headed to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner tonight.
While I was there I saw an extremely hot (married) woman with long, gorgeous hair and tanned and toned legs, which were showcased by the extremely short shorts she was wearing.
I had a brief exchange with her that consisted of me saying, “Sorry,” in response to her “Excuse me” as I was heading down the aisle and she nearly stepped into the path of my cart.
And that was it, and soon she was gone, likely to never be seen by me again.
Oh well.
Once I got home I hit up Kathleen on IM to see if she wanted to meet for lunch, as I was thinking about heading to the Bed, Bath & Beyond in Sterling, which would put me in the neighborhood. She said that she had made lunch plans with someone else (The two-timing hooer!), but that she was on the phone with Brian and he said for me to meet him at Champions.
While there we were waited on by an extremely cute young waitress who I guess is going out with someone in Brian’s fire company, so she kept stopping by to chat with him.
The reason, by the way, that I was thinking about heading to BB&B is that I got a flyer from them yesterday advertising a portable hammock, which includes a stand, for $70. It’s not ideal (I’d prefer a rope hammock), but it’s something, and with the 20% off coupon I have, it’ll be a real bargain. I’ll most likely stop there on my way back from the meeting I have tomorrow.
In any case, now I think I’m going to go for a walk. I’ll be back later (with some new pictures).
