The other day, I had stopped in to Shoppers Drug Mart at Bob's suggestion to find Watkins Medicated Ointment, which I remember from when I was a child. It was Mr Deschambault who sold that, if I recall... Anyway, the ointment is still around and it certainly helps for my arm pain!
Since it was Thursday, St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store was open, so I went with Ghyslaine in her big truck to look around. I bought an old-looking clock with faces on both sides showing the Fleur de Lis on both, so it fits in with the French theme of the building, lol. I also checked out a portable radio and some binoculars, but they were not quite what I would want. Ghyslaine bought a few things for her apartment too.
From there, we went to check out a Mustard Seed location nearby but that was only a depot for drop-offs. The location with stuff for sale is further over, near the SPCA location I remember, and they have sales on the 9th, 10th and 17th, so Ghyslaine wanted to wait.
I started looking for clothing online to go fishing, specifically a white or light-coloured hoodie because of the relentless sun when a person is sitting in a boat. Frustrated at selections available online, I jumped on the Gio and headed to Westmount Mall, a good distance for a test of the batteries, which did not budge, so that made me happy. I stopped to see my friend Bev who lives near the mall for a few moments to show off my new ride. At Mark's Work Warehouse, I did find a very light gray hoodie, a white long-sleeved t-shirt, and a gorgeous blue t-shirt, plus 7 pairs of socks, all with discounts, so I ended up paying 1/2 of retail...
Somehow yesterday, the Manoir withdrew my rental amount twice, so I sent an email for them to correct that.
And I ordered groceries to be delivered from WalMart tomorrow. That is so slick and handy...
Sorry, no pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
