We've finally got a couple of cheques in. Yes! Now I can afford to ship Christmas presents!
Today George and I went to our optician's shop and bought him a new pair of long-range glasses to replace the ones he left behind in the taxi cab a couple of months ago. This will be a great relief to him, because once he gets them tomorrow he can watch TV again without getting a headache. Cost of a pair of frames that make him look like he's in his 30s and the lenses: $160 and change.
We parted company after that. George had to go to the art store for paper, and I ended up having lunch with a friend that I ran into downtown. Then I went to Osborne Village, where I stopped at Safeway and discovered, to my disappointment, that they only sell cheese balls at Christmas. I did pick up some sliced roast chicken on sale, however, and some Chunky Soups, including Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (which is heating on the stove even as I type this). Then I went to Desart, which is an upscale gifts and keepsakes store, and bought gifts for Terri and for my MM editor. I can't tell you what Terri's is because she reads this LJ from time to time, but for my editor I bought a blank journal, the covers of which are the rescued covers of a previously existing book: Goodbye, Mr. Chips, in fact. If![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eastpath is willing to take a photo of it, I'll put one up later, because it is a VERY cool looking journal.
Oh, and I picked up a pack of donuts for George at Safeway as well. He is tickled pink, and I might sneak one of them later myself.
Off to have the soup, and then back to work on HB. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day as well, including a haircut (which I desperately need) and a trip to the bank to deposit my latest MM cheque.
(The client loved those two covers we did yesterday. I'll post jpegs of the finished versions a bit later if George is okay with that.)
