Real Time Planning

Our plans to do some tasks around our apartment changed quickly yesterday. After watching a little TV and having coffee in the morning, we put together a trip to several stores that would have us ending up in San Diego.

For some time now, we both have been struggling with "demons" in our computers which slow things down, cause untimely crashes and have hidden adware and spyware that we needed removed. Best Buy has a program that fine tunes your computer and removes all that ugly stuff along with fixing damaged registries which I'm sure we have. Anyway, the nearest Best Buy was in Oceanside, so we planned a visit there to get some information.

Josie wanted to look at some clothes at a Dress Barn, the nearest of which was located in north San Diego, about 20 miles from Oceanside. The final stop in the plan would be the nearest Sams Club to sign up for a service plan for our new TV before the 30 day window closed from the time we purchased it - in Arizona just before our move. That was also in San Diego, so off we went.

We did all the planned stops and had a late lunch at a Souplantation that was located just across the street from the Dress Barn. It has been probably 5 or more years since we ate at one of those and it was a great reminder of what we had missed. We didn't return home until almost 6 PM, so the day was shot. Days off are to be used for relaxing and fun stuff, right? We haven't worked here long enough to justify wasting our days off with more work.

Today will be slightly different. I have an appointment to be fitted with my new hearing aids at 4 PM in Carlsbad and we plan to stop at the Outlet Mall which is near the Audiologist office. The rest of the day will most likely be used to do a few of the tasks we didn't get done yesterday. It will be our final day off before a stretch of 5 long days on duty. The days with free time just go by too fast...
