MORE ERRANDS
When you have the day off, it's amazing how much time you feel like you have to do things. And then you realize how much time you can waste too and the day becomes less about doing things, and more about trying to fill-in the time with things to do.
Today, I decided to go back to Walmart to return the glasses I bought there. I'll probably return them again after I use them, but it depends if Jared wants to keep them or not.
Then I noticed a Home Depot nearby so I went in there to find the gloves I need to finish up my costume. They didn't have any but I figured it was worth a shot.
I then went into the Sears Outlet to return an umbrella that was just $2. It was broken, so I exchanged it with a smaller one that wasn't as big or as nice.
Nordstrom Rack was right next door, so I decided to go in to see if they had those gloves. My next stop would be the regular Sears at the mall. But when I went to the gloves rack in the women's accessories section, they were right there. They were a little small and they were $35. I wasn't going to pay that, so I looked at some of the other gloves and noticed that the price tags were pretty much all the same. The only difference was the price listed. So I found one for $10 and left with it and the gloves to do the swap.
I felt like someone was always watching me so I took my time and pretended to look at the shoes. Slowly but surely, I was able to put the $10 tag on the plastic string and slowly but surely, removed the $35 tag. I was a little nervous when I was at the cash register, but the guy was cool and it was no big deal. I walked out with a big smile on my face and immediately put the gloves on in the car.
I was now Driver or at least I felt like him. I drove to Pomona to my hair stylist, got my hair cut and went back home. There, I switched into my new dri-fit shirt I bought from the Sears outlet yesterday and did a short run.
After dinner, I baked a different version of some carrot bread. I didn't realize that wheat flour is not recommended as a substitute for all-purpose, but I could tell something was wrong with the batter because it was way thicker than normal. So I added extra oil and some milk which the recipe didn't call for.
One of my beliefs is that if the batter tastes good, so will the final product. But the batter was only ok. It wasn't as sweet as I liked and I was afraid to add more sugar because it could alter the consistency of the batter. I just crossed my fingers and then took a shower.
After the shower, I worked on the pc. Something about the spooler subsystem app error. I was worried it was some kind of virus or malware and spent some time running anti-virus/malware on the pc to make sure it wasn't. It wasn't, but I'm glad I ran something because there was a trojan horse found. Of course, it was under the "visitor" account. Probably the kids once again.
I looked for some solutions with no luck. Finally, I decided to follow Microsoft's advice and delete some of the registry keys. It was kind of scary, but it was more scary in my mind than anything else. It was a simple right click and delete and a reinstall of the Samsung printer driver. That was it.
