How I’m spending Black Friday 2012

Last night after I picked Jeremy up from work last night, I was wide awake at 2:00am so I finished labelling and stuffing magazines into the mailers for the December issue of Horizons.   I got them all loaded into my car and then I came inside and prepared the post office paperwork.  First thing this morning, I was halfway through my morning yoga when I remembered it was post office day!  I drove the mags downtown to the bulk mail facility.  On the way home, I stopped by the bank to make a deposit, then at the Malabar Road post office to mail the first class subscriptions.  I picked up paper products at the Big Lots next door.  I went across the street to Walmart for a few more items.  Once home,  I took a lap around the yard to see what plants might benefit the most by some water and set up the sprinkler.  I swept the fallen oak leaves and twigs off the driveway.  I came inside and rearranged my office again.  I’m always on a quest to have less and less in each room.  This way also lets me see more of the courtyard just outside the window.  After I drive JoyBoy to work, I’ll head over the Home Depot and return a case of caulk.  I always buy more than enough and return what I don’t use.  Or maybe I’ll save that for tomorrow and just come home and crash out.  This is my favorite kind of Black Friday.   I don’t need to buy anything.  I’m not rushed to get anywhere.  I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do.   Life is good.
