It's been ages since I've had ! After that, we'll likely split ways but maybe not before walking a path she showed me last month that was fun and had an adult 'playground' with exercise equipment on it.

Once home, it'll be more reorganization and maybe a movie. Tomorrow is about taking it easy and just having fun the whole day.

That was the plan and most of it was achieved! I had more donation items than she thought so we dropped those off first and went to Starbucks for her, then went to her store to drop something off and visit the facilities before continuing on to the mall where we each got a mani/pedi and bought stuff that we really didn't need but what the Hell.

We both found gorgeous winter jackets for $19.99 that were originally $160 and $250. Call us crazy but that was too good of a deal to pass up. I also got a bookbag/handbag hybrid that was discounted $180. Score! We went to a store where each piece of clothing was $8.88. She got two dresses and I got a pair of workout leggings with lots of pockets and a tee that says, "I'm Speaking" and has Kamala's signature on it. She got a bubble tea and I drooled over some fudge (but did NOT buy it----go me!) and we spent a lot of time going up and down the Boscov's escalators because we both got turned around a bit and it was kind of fun.

No hiking as time got away from us but we did visit the new grocery store and it was crazy busy. We both picked up sushi and soy sauce and she picked up a papaya, some avocados, chips and something else that escapes me at this moment. I got Halos, bananas and batteries for my pedometer now that I finally found the teensy weensy screwdriver to open the back of the casing.

Most of today's agenda was achieved and it was a wonderful day. My afternoon and evening agenda of reorganization and a movie has not played out quite like I thought. I did get some stuff out of my craft room and into a staged 'sell' area but after dinner my time was spent getting rid of the last of the litter that could be causing Gracie's allergic reaction, scrubbing Loki's box, sweeping and vacuuming the rugs and floors and I have a load of laundry in the washer now that it's cooling down. It was miserable hot today. So glad I was in a freezing cold mall most of the day!

My main goal for the day was to let work go and have fun with a good friend and that was achieved 98% so I feel the day was successful and am quite content right now.
