I was hoping to go to the Bay Area yesterday, but the 40-degree temperature and fog put me off wanting to do a 200 mile round trip. So I went erranding instead, and spent roughly the same amount of time on the road as if I had gone to the Bay Area. ;)

1. The gas station. ($7 in cash, before I forget. Interesting: the gas prices went down to $3.11 for Christmas, and are now back up to $3.19.)

2. My post office box. There was a parcel.

3. Home again. The parcel was of a shape and size that I realized would make it hard to carry the other things I wanted to carry, so I dropped it off.

4. The bank, where I deposited my last paycheck and a couple of others.

5. Panera Bread, where I enjoyed some very nice tomato soup and thawed out a little bit.

6. Pier One, where I saw something for my niece and grabbed it. Of course, her birthday isn’t until May, but it’s still the perfect gift.

7. The post office, where I mailed some items and got on the waiting list for standard USPS mailboxes. No more trips to the Bay Area to get my mail! Yay! (Eventually.)

8. City Hall, where I picked up part of my business licence application and was directed across the street to “Finance.”

9. “Finance,” where I picked up the rest of my business licence application and other information that I needed.

10. The library. I joined! Yay! I came out with a lot of books. ;)

11. Target, where I didn’t buy anything in the end.

12. Food 4 Less, where I made a little girl’s day. She and her dad were watching me load my bike with some consternation. This supermarket sells soda in 32-can trays, which are almost about as heavy as I can lift, so first I had to manhandle that onto the seat and strap it down. Then I stuffed the bog roll on my tank, under the cargo net. And the gallon of milk under my jacket. That’s when she and her dad started grinning–they seemed to find this solution highly amusing. :)

13. Home. Yay!
