Channeled my inner Marie Kondo

Filled a backpack with office supplies we will never use. Walked to a teachers’ union hall which has a room where teachers can stock up on supplies for their underfunded schools. Walked home, 30 pounds lighter.

Paused my walk to admire the display at Coastal Seafoods and select some Petrale sole from the Pacific Coast. Tonight I’ll bake It in parchment.

While I walked home from my Wednesday gig, bicycle racks with American Indian motifs waited for fair-weather cyclists like me.

Checked in on my youngest nephew, recovering nicely at Minneapolis Children’s Hospital.

Posted Travel Gear: Suitcase.

Ran errands while snow fell.

After doing electrical work in a confined space, I needed British Christmas pudding (saved in the freezer) and a lie down.

Walked a few miles around Downtown with friends without ever going outside to the bitter cold. The Father of Waters towered over us in Minneapolis City Hall.

Tonight: walked over to Masters of Hawaiian Music, slack key at the Dakota.

As usual, let someone else do the driving.

Made tracks in fresh snow on my way to Coastal Seafoods to take advantage of their 20% discount for seniors on Tuesdays.

Our bedroom set arrived in crates. It was built-to-order in a workshop on Chicago’s Southside. I’ve posted earlier about our visit to 57st. Design in Feathering the Nest. The crates were shipped to the Twin Cities by truck, then transferred to a pickup.

Walked in mist between parked rail cars.

Walked down two floors to our storage cage (where we keep seasonal stuff).

Walked to an old-fashioned hardware store where I spent 60 cents + tax.
