Yesterday I applied to a local supermarket and was called shortly after to go in to meet them and take a drug test. I assured them that I was only a casual crack abuser.
Other things I did that day, short version: Shopping, swimming, reading, and BBQing steaks. Nice, no?
And on to today...
Firstly, a very happy Birthday to both Becka, in the US of A, and Dot in sunny Glasgow. Older only on paper...
Now I doubt either of these lovely ladies has time for my blog shenanigans, but I like to believe that a general sense of well-being will be transferred from my lowly blog across the cosmos to them. It's the thought that counts, right?
Anyway, today saw me rising well before the dawn to go to the UPS plant 7 miles from the house for a meeting regarding employment. As good as the job looks, it seems I have to turn it down as it is too far away.
The trip home (by bike) was an enjoyable and leisurely trip set against the rising Californian sun. The cool morning mists and predawn light were a delight whilst being bitten on the forehead by some unseen (but hopefully smited) beastie was not such a pleasant feeling. Going at a speed that rivaled the cars alongside, the bike whizzed me down the canyon and onto the great El Toro road. A convenient Starbucks provided me with breakfast at dawn (Starbucks' Perfect Oatmeal with nut topping - not great, homemade is sooo much better) and a fix of my rapidly developing addiction to Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos.
Working my way up El Toro brought me to a closed mall (opens at 10) which, as it turns out, contains a See's Candy shop - I'll be back there in the future, no doubt. Then up to a shoe shop (not open until 9, damn and blast!) which, after the wait until opening time, yeilded 2 nice pairs of shoes for about $100. Sweet, but still a lot of dough. Luckily the nearby Cold Stone Creamery was closed until noon else I would've been sorely tempted to try America's no. 1 least healthy drink - the 20oz Love It size OhFudge! Shake (containing a whopping 1,660 kcal). Just for research purposes, you understand...
A leisurely cycle (via Longs Drug Store - it's an american thing) brought me back home for lunch, driving (getting better! Only a few minor infringements this time...), swimming, looking at local jobs, and going to the cinema (in about 3 minutes).
Any suggestions for getting my phone to talk are appreciated (it's paired with my mac, but won't connect) as are suggestions for a topic on which to explore in this blog other than my day to day grind (hah!).
