Motivation and Goals

Right - motivation and goals - on a very, very, very small scale!
I spent the first part of the morning on the computer - and it really felt like one of those days in which I could spend the whole day sitting at the computer. I even played a little Everquest because I had promised Dylan.

Dick said he was going to town to look at dollar stores for a "bug" to use for his goldbug cache. I really didn't have any desire to go to a dollar store, let alone several. So I tried to get psyched up for it and couldn't until I remembered that one of my goals for today was to return the bottles and cans to Glen's. Dick was already in the car when I went out and said "Wait 5 minutes - I want to go with you."

So off we went, to every dollar store in Grand Traverse County. It was fun looking at all of the "junk"! I actually bought a hair brush, some dish towels, and ziplock bags. Dick found several insect type thingies, and it was fun.

We went through the intersection where two teen-agers were killed last week, and there were still marks on the pavement - it's a sobering experience.

We ate lunch at the mall (China Wok) and had fun people-watching.

Then off to Glen's to return the cans and bottles. You should have seen the line! I guess Friday night is party night, and everybody was cleaning up after the parties. Dick bought stuff to fix in the wok, but I think it will be tomorrow, because after our late lunch, I don't think we'll need dinner tonight.

So I was really glad I went. And I'm sure walking around malls and dollar stores is much better for me than sitting in front of the computer all day. Plus, we had a very good time.
