I went to the grocery store to do the "evil deed" of getting money orders for my rent. Of course, I got there and realized that I didn't have the paper I had written the amount down on, so I had to walk back to my apartment, get the note, and go back to the store. Thankfully, their money order machine was working today. After I got the money orders, I went to the coffee aisle and tried to get some instant coffee because it was cheapest. When I got to the self-check-out area, it wouldn't accept my card! A clerk came over to try to help, but it still wouldn't accept it. So, I just said "forget it" and left. On the way home, I remembered a little kitchenette area in the clubhouse here at the apartment complex. I had "explored" the refrigerator a couple of times before, and I wondered if they might have a coffee machine in that area... I went into the office, filled out everything on my money orders and got the "evil deed" of getting my rent paid done, then I headed over to the kitchenette. Sure enough, they had a Keurig! Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work at first, so I had to go back to the office and speak to the young lady I'd done my rent business with. She came over and fiddled with the machine and voila! I had 8 oz. of coffee! Silly to get excited about something like that, I know, but I am anyway! Right now, I'd like to check out something important that I recieved in my email, and then hopefully work on yarn dolls. I hope that all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

Not silly at all, that coffee sounds like it was earned after all that walking back and forth. I laughed at the card not working and you just saying forget it. Hope the yarn dolls go well today.

Small things that matter end up exciting us in a way we cant explain
