I need more weekends. Or longer ones. I'm thinking 4-day weekends, 3-day workweeks.
On Saturday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jducoeur and I went out to Amherst to see his mother. She has a beautiful cute apartment in a brand-new building less than two miles from the green and the campus. If I were she, I'd be walking or biking up to town several times a week; I hope that if she keeps up her gym workouts her stamina will increase so she can do that. With a little scrub-nurse assistance from me, J hung the curtain rod in her living room and assembled two more IKEA bookcases. We hit terrible traffic on the Pike going out there, so J handed me a map and said "find me the back way," which is something I love to do. We ended up taking 122 to 290 to 9W, which took us past Wholly Cannoli bakery and Rising Phoenix Games. (Another time, when we are not going to be visiting a diabetic, we'll stop and get cannoli.)
Sunday was the chore and errand day we desperately needed to restabilize after Pennsic. After I trimmed the two evergreens [what ARE those things?] and the holly in front of the house, I went off on a long loop of errands:goldsquare's new apartment to pick up a box of misc archival SCA stuff, elizabear's house to drop off the sound equipment that n2mlq had loaned to alphaggek for Pennsic, the post office, the gas station, Costco, Frugal Fannie's for shoes, and the supermarket. Whew!
