helwenAs usual, plans rarely go as planned.
We did go shopping, but it tool a little over 3 hours, so other things are behind. Am printing out some things to look over, so that I can write the recommendation tonight. NS/BB will have to wait, but will be done this week.
We did quite a bit of walking at the mall, so more exercise, yay!
Went to Petco, got nutrical, catfood, etc. I went to the post office at Ingleside Mall and sent of the books, while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fitzw found a DVD disk cleaner. Then we stopped in at Christmas Tree Shops because they were having a storewide clearance sale, and found a cute little telescope that comes with small pair of binoculars. The binocs have a working compass on them, and the telescope can be handheld or attached to a stand (stand included). They also had larger pairs of binoculars, 10x50, for only 24.99, so we got those as well. The 'scope's not a serious tool, but it'll do for some amateur stargazing. Picked up a nice peeler and some measuring cups as well.
Then off to EMS. They were closing this store as it turns out, so everything was 50% (close date is Jan. 21). Got a couple of really sweet backpacks there, with detachable daypacks. No sleeping bags there and nothing suitable at Target, so went back online when we got home and found a couple of Slumberjacks at Campmor.com. Both good to -20F, but my being short turns out to be an advantage. They had a short (5'4" and under) for $20 less than for other folks.
I did get a set of Swiss Army knives at Target, too - a Spartan and a smaller pen knife -- so nowfitzw and I can match :D Oh, and we found a tea kettle there also. Our old pot died, and rather than get something that we'll be tempted to leave heating all day, we got something we'll have to pay attention to (whistle type), and have to turn off the heat when it's done its job.
Made the door draft stopper, which is working just fine. Good thing too, with all the wind we're getting. Didn't get to hanging fabric on the shady wall, but hopefully tomorrow morning. It's pretty chilly out!
