The sun is supposed to come out today. I’m basically sitting around waiting for the sun to come out, so I can go run errands and get some sunshine on my skin at the same time. I don’t feel like running errands today, but I know if it got sunny, I would feel like going and doing something just to get out of the house a while.

So, what all do I need to do today? Time to plan my trip around town.

I should go to the bank and deposit a check. I’ve never gone to the bank we have our household account with, and I don’t even know where the closest one is. This is not a top priority yet. I does need to be deposited by March 9th though, since that’s when it expires. Looking on a map, it looks like there’s one on 183 by the Target store. I must resist the temptation to go into Target. I know, I’ll resist the urge to go into Target by stopping at the craft store after I leave the bank, since it’s also on 183!

So the next stop will be the craft store. Oh sure, I don’t need to go to the craft store, but my yarn cravings are getting strong. Just one little skein of something new to fondle! OK, maybe two skeins? I know I won’t be able to resist. I am a yarn addict.

The craft store location lines me up perfectly to zip down the road to the feed store. I have to go get cat food. The monsters don’t mind eating the Purina, but they don’t like it as much as the other stuff, and it never seems to satiate their hunger. Time to get the good stuff before they rebel completely.

Then the last stop will be a drive down the same road to the grocery store. Don’t need much … mostly just Dr Pepper, kitty litter, and paper towels. I’m sure I’ll find at least $30 more stuff to buy and end up taking an hour to do it. It always takes an hour, no matter if I only buy two things or fill a basket to the top. I’d swear my grocery store has some kind of time warp thing going on inside its doors. Always an hour. Never fails.

Finally home to get all the stuff put away, do the dishes from last night, plan dinner for tonight, and then … probably some knitting or video game playing or napping or other general forms of goofing off. My allergies are kicking my butt again, and this gloomy weather hasn’t put me in the best of moods. But if the sun would come out, that would be just grand. Then instead of sitting here daydreaming about what I need to get done today, I could actually be out there getting it done.

I guess I could eat up some more time waiting for the sun to come out by actually getting out of my pajamas and into real clothing and maybe brushing my hair and washing my face. Might help get me motivated, or at least I’d be ready to head out the door if the sun really does come out (which it better, because I need me some sunlight today).

If only sitting and writing blog posts about what a person needs to get done gets those things done, life would be perfect wouldn’t it? Alas, I have spent enough time thinking about doing. I guess I better start doing, whether the sun is out or not. I’ll just keep focusing on the fact I will be stopping at the craft store to feed my yarn addiction. That should get me moving in the direction of the truck eventually. I need some shopping therapy NOW!
