Today I visited Walmart, to get cut-rate greeting cards for next Christmas.

I forgot that the store usually has a special section devoted to holiday items; and remembered it only when I reached the check-out! So I\’m not sure that the cards I found were truly cut-rate; but oh, well. At least I have them, which means I\’ve gotten a head start on next year\’s Christmas shopping.

The other items that I bought were not cut-rate. Batteries are expensive, and they weren\’t on sale; but I need them for my blinkies. I bough some rather pricy pickles and olives, too.

It\’s Boxing Day, but the store already had Valentine candy on the shelves. Mardi Gras decorations were there, too; and Fat Tuesday isn\’t until March 1!

The weather is still weird. It was already nearly 70 degrees at 9:30 am; and it\’s mostly cloudy. On the way to the store, I ran into some patches of fog; and I was glad it wasn\’t still dark.

Today doesn\’t feel like Sunday. I did a long ride last Friday, so I could include it in my Winter Wheelers log. Yesterday was the final day of Winter Wheelers; and I wanted to get in those miles. Now my sense of time is off-kilter.

In fact, I put out some mail for pick-up; and now I have to bring it back indoors. I forgot that today is Sunday!
