Today was errand day...Post Office, Laundry, some miscellaneous shopping. A couple of observations:
Post Office: I had to buy some two cent stamps, coz the USPS apparently isn't making enough money so first class rates go up by two cents the first of the year. I noticed a poster on the wall at the Post Office, advertising "Holiday" stamps. One can buy Hanukkah stamps, Kwanzaa stamps, and stamps featuring "Holiday Cookies." No Christmas stamps, however. None. I asked about Christmas stamps and got a glare and a shrug in reply, as in "don't go there." Something's wrong with this picture.
Laundromat: One of the downsides of living in an RV is no washer and dryer. Other downsides are no dishwasher and a ridiculously small fridge, but I digress. Of all the things I gave up by "going mobile," I think I miss my washer and dryer the most. Today's outing featured the usual Ritalin-deprived small children terrorizing the place, a couple of VERY large women, and the interminable dry-cycle. The cost of laundry has gone up, too. It now costs $1.75 to activate a standard washer, $3.50 for the Industrial Strength Machines; well over ten bucks to do my laundry, all told. I hate laundromats. Flipping hate them!
I think I need to re-think my position on entering into another relationship...

More likely those kids are parental discipline deprived, as so many are these days.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Becky. They were discipline deprived. I was being sarcastic when I said Ritalin; too many parents drug their kids these days rather than take the time and spend the energy to instill discipline.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I was in a laundromat. ;-)
