tired and snowing

 i was planning on going to hy-vee tonight, but i went to the gas station and then went home. i was tired and it was starting to snow. i found the highest priority things at the gas station, not only a redbox rental but also the paper. along with an apple pie, cheese, and chocolate milk. it was just as well that i postponed the grocery run by one day as i checked my phone and noticed my niece had called me, but didn't leave a message. it might have been while i was still driving home from work. i sent a text saying 'i can take a call now', and a few minutes later i was called. she is having a birthday party for her daughter in april, who will be a year old at that time. thankful i heard well in advance as i haven't booked anything for that weekend yet. although every weekend for me through early march already has at least one event booked, or will. i liked hearing her share about her life, of course a big part of it is taking care of the baby but she is still interested in going back to school. i liked hearing how she is reading to her kid, as i am an advocate for reading and she even said she knew me as being big on education. at work we had the team huddle, i was asked to follow up with the supplier about the check stock order. i got voicemail so i also emailed. we later on heard that the order will be delivered a week from now. one check file was late, from west side flats, but i still got it printed as i knew they would want the ones slated to be overnighted sent out same-day. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 1 cent. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard agreed to be a sperm donor and then backed out. some other friends went on a simulated space walk, including anu. it was followed by the one where howard's mom is in the hospital, my favorite one because bernadette said 'Me?' about being the first one the mom wanted to see.
