Mall Goats

November 11th, 2011

Yesterday I went to pick up a package down in the big shopping center around the corner. It had been sent to a GLS package shop which was located in a PhotoCare store. That’s what the SMS I got said anyway. So I went down to do some grocery shopping and pick up the package. I remembered that the photo store was on the second of the three levels in the shopping center. Been years since I’d been down there, but I wouldn’t have any problem finding it.

Except it wasn’t there. In its place was a shoe store. No more photo store there. Things do change when you’re gone for years.

So I decided to press on. I was halfway through the second level. Went through the rest of the level. No photo stores. Then down to the third level. No photo stores down there either. Then back up to the top level and around in the corners. Nothing. Where did I finally find the photo store? Literally right opposite Føtex, where I do my grocery shopping. Right at the entrance of the center. Typical isn’t it? You walk around the whole place and then what you’re looking for is right where you came in. Well, so it goes when you can’t see very well. I can see and read the signs now, so I can find the place when I look for it. But my field of vision is so limited that if I just walk past something then I most likely won’t notice it. I have to stop and look directly at a sign to read it.

But I got my package and I got my groceries and I got a little adventure around the shopping center. All in a day’s work. And earlier in the day I had had fluffy times with goats. So that wasn’t a bad day.

And that’s all for story time today, kids.

Oh yeah, by the way… happy 11.11.11. I hope you made it count. At exactly 11:11 on 11.11.11 I updated my Facebook. Because that’s how much of a life I have!

Goat of the Lambs

November 8th, 2011

Well, here comes November. It’s almost 11.11.11 in fact. Surely a magical date. If for nothing else than the release of Skyrim. The newest game in the Elder Scrolls series. I really wish I could play it. I played the previous game, Oblivion, a lot when it came out. In fact I still have the picture pages up. And Skyrim looks like it will be amazing and even more beautiful. That’s one of the things I have lost with the eyesight. I can’t play modern computer games anymore. Not really. Every now and then I’ll see a new game reviewed and think “boy, I wish I could play that”. But so it goes.

In other news, my computer is in working order now. Fingers crossed. The new computer is hooked up to my TV. Hopefully things will settle down now.

. I can’t get over how cute Bob is. He’s getting all fluffy because winter is coming. And he looks like a wolly little black lamb. He does to me anyway. Purly asked on the video if his dad was a sheep. Hehe. I wonder if there’s something Magnethe hasn’t told us…

I wish I could get woolly for the winter. The cold is getting uncomfortable. But at least I can hope that mama will make the super soup soon now. It’s about that time.

Tick tock timeout.
