I have a friend who really hates going out in public and she makes me feel like a social butterfly. But . . this morning as soon as I woke up, I remembered I had to go out and run a million errands today. That’s when I realize how easy it would be for me to really become a recluse. I have to make myself go out. Once I actually get away from the house, I’m fine with being out . . for a few stops.
Today I have to go to Hobby Lobby to get buttons for the doll dress; then I have to get gas in my car; go by the pharmacy and get drops for Rita’s eyes; then to the grocery store to get a few things Vince needs. I don’t think I have to go to Walmart so that makes it all ok.
I’m going to go . . get it done and get back home and then I can spend the rest of the day knitting!
Carolyn says
Love your plan! I did the same thing yesterday in Wichita Falls, but also had a two hour drive home. Have a blessed day.

I’d rather just stay home too. I have to fight with my inner hermit to actually go somewhere, but like you, once I’m out and about I enjoy it. I suppose today I should get some groceries, gas in the car and stop at the library.
Susan says
I do believe I understand that feeling, and you live farther from town than I do. I have to go to the post office, maybe 5 miles away, tomorrow, and I’m dreading it. I want to stay home. When I worked, I was already out and could stop somewhere on the way home to do whatever, now, I don’t want to actually make the effort to go out!

Great idea!!

Glad to hear other women have these thoughts on going. Many a day I ask myself do we really need bread and milk? I have to force myself to go and like y’all have said once I am dressed and ready I am good to go. But, sometimes my car just brings me home after a few of many errands. There is NO place like home.
