14+ Hours of Sleep

I went shopping yesterday because when I got to the Zoo the Keeper I usually help out wasn't there so I just cleaned out the Vulturines (really pretty Blue, Black & white feathers but they kind of look like a Turkey) space & was done in an hour. I walked around a bit, saw the lemurs, the hippo, the wolves, etc. and then went to the Co-op to get Clyde's glucosamine. I did a bit of shopping there, found the wool I ran out of so I can finish the damn scarf - finally!, got a pie crust for the Taco Pie I was going to make for dinner, that kind of thing. Then realized that I forgot my debit card at home at the check-out. The cashier agreed to put the things aside & I hustled out of there as quick as I could, red-faced and very embarrassed. Unfortunately, I live about 20-30 min. from there. If it wasn't for the glucosamine I would've just left it but I've been out for over a week already & can't find that stuff anywhere else. I think I made it back within about 50 min. and so I paid and left and then noticed that the pie crusts weren't in my bag (didn't pay for them either). At that point there was no way in hell I was going to go back in so I just left it & decided to go to Old Navy in Langley to make the drive worth my effort, or so I told myself. So, I went there, found some new shorts, a sweatshirt & a blouse that actually fit well - the trick for me is to try on a bunch of things and then if I'm lucky at least one or two things will work out. Then I went to Best Buy to pick up headphones for my work computer since I had to throw out my old ones - the left earpiece stopped working which just makes things very odd sounding. While I was there I got one of those flash memory things for my computer. So, yeah, I got the spending bug. Then I went back to Abby, and headed to Reitman's where I found some khaki pants & a couple shirts for the spring. On sale of course.Then I went to the bird store for some more seed. Then to the veggie market, then to Save-on for the stupid pie crust...you get the picture. I finally got home at around 4 and started dinner. I burnt the pie crust around the edges - and I even baked it at a lower temperature than the recipe said to. I ate, not bad either if a bit overdone. Read a bit, knitted a bit, started watching Queen of the Damned and fell asleep. I woke up at 9:30ish and then went to bed. If it wasn't for my alarm clock I would've slept longer. I don't know if it was all the shopping or if I was just in need of a bit more sleep but it was nice.
