awhyzipnice day -- not raining. I should take my Sukkah frame down.
And I have a ton of other upkeep stuff to do. Laundry & hemming (which will probably get put off ANOTHER week) and cooking that bread pudding. And now that I have my drill powercord back, maybe even installing those chair-hooks I've been meaning to and the cabinet doors. And maybe while the frame up would be a good time to drill holes for an experimental cup-holder mounting -- but then I won't get it down for ANOTHER week; the sun is already starting to darken.
I went in to Cambridge this morning/noon to meet a girl I'm agreeing to tutor for her bat mitzvah. And then I took my time driving home... Mem Drive was closed (as it is every Sunday) and the line in the turning-right lane was so full as we crossed the Western Ave bridge, that I decided to just cut across Watertown instead and that took me past the Best Buy & Target in the Watertown mall. Which I at the last moment decided would be a good idea to check if I could get a box fan there, since actually Fall is a great time to use those --- I want to take best advantage of the rare lovely days to replace the stuffy indoors air with precious fresh outdoors niceness.
So I went in, and entered the Target door instead of the Best Buy door (which was probably a mistake), and toured around and picked up some things (for kitchens mostly; mine & E Ch's) and all that but there were NO FANS. They are out of season, said the that employee I asked, so they don't stock them.
Anyway, eh, by the time I left the Target (still buying the other things I'd found) I was feeling really consumerist & icky. --- I'd also kicked around the costume shop by Central Sq, looking at all the cheap (in price & in morals!) rack-costumes, earlier. --- Too icky to try the Best Buy.
Kinda regret it -- I need to remember not to go there [Target].
Ok, gloves on -- maybe some work will make me fell better!
