erranding
i made that up
its an extension of the word
errand
it means to do errands
i dont know
if
its
a verb or a noun
i was not very good at that part of english
actually
i wasn't good at a lot of english
yet
it was one of my majors
history
being the other
anyway
saturday was errand day
hither and yon
i went
but
in
an organized way
i dont go
uptown
downtown
across town
randomly
usually
i start
at
the furthest point
working my way back
yesterday
i did it sort of differently
i needed all my eye glasses to be adjusted
so
i went to 83 street first
got all three pair adjusted
realigned
hedda
runs the eye man
she has
the most sarcastic mouth
told me
it wasn't the frames
it was my head
she might be right
since i was on 83
i went next door to the town shop
i had a credit
that
got me
two new bras
a pair of plaid tights
that will be fun with my grey sweater dress and boots
and
the best lingerie wash in the world
i walked down to 72nd
across to columbus
to
ricky's
such a fun store
it has everything
from
halloween costumes to cosmetics to well
i exchanged a spritzer bottle
for
two small airline size bottles
on the way to 72nd
i stopped
into
the shoe repair shop for new shoe laces
into
the cvs for deodorant
on the way back
i debated
going to trader joe's
i did
but
ended up not buying anything
why?
because
everything i wanted was pumpkin related or fattening
i am going away in 2.5 days
reason won
i ended up walking home
stopping into westside
for some stacy's naked pita chips
to have with an apple for lunch
i accomplished
almost
everything
on my to do list
i still need to go to the bank
for euros
i still need to go to zabar's
for toonman's
turkey meatballs
but
that can happen today
or
even
monday
tuesday morning
i get my hair done
tuesday afternoon
i leave for the airport
tuesday evening
i meet mary at jfk
and
we fly to amsterdam
this was how the skies
looked
saturday
as
i began erranding
pretty isn't it
