gambit brewing, meetup

 in the evening i went to a meetup event at gambit brewing in downtown st. paul. it is across the street from a building i once worked in. i paid for a little over an hour on parking, and that was long enough. i chatted with a few people, one of them was from iowa like me, ottumwa. i had a beer and a cookie, tavern style, from mei mei's cookies in river falls, wisconsin. it helped that the cookies were right next to one was to order beer. then it was on to the holiday station, where i got a redbox movie and the paper. after that it was on to hy-vee in eagan, ten items bought. first time in weeks where i needed to get cereal, got a box of valentine themed cheerios. at work it was a low-volume day on check printing and overnight labels, but i didn't mind as i got out earlier than typical, close to my normal leave time. one check from i-pay was set aside and will be picked up next week. looks like the remittance notifications were finally diverted to the deleted items section, hopefully it stays that way. but it is hard to tell as some still trickled in during the day, but the bulk of them that were waiting for me in the morning were diverted. during my walks i found 1 cent. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon's mom visits and she takes care of sheldon when he gets sick, caught in the rain. it was followed by the one where sheldon tries to bond with amy's parents.
