A Day in a Year in a Life / Day 043

12/February/2015, Day 043.  Thursday.

I suppose the "highlight" of the day was when Grump and Sweetie went driving around Macon, frantically looking for Valentine's gift bags.  Sweetie had seen them for sale a week or so before, but hadn't the money to buy them.  Grump had gone to the bank earlier in the day, so when he got home he gave Sweetie her weekly spending money, upon which she asked him to drive her to the store to buy the Valentine's gift bags.  Old Grump was grumpy and tired all day, and after a long day at work the last thing he wanted to do was go shopping, but Sweetie convinced him to go anyway.  

Well, as luck would have it, the first store they went to was SOLD OUT of Valentine's gift bags.  Sweetie then wanted to drive across town to look for them, but Grump go angry.  They argued about the wisdom or futility of driving around looking for an item in seasonally high demand, then over Grump's protests wound up at Walmart.  

No, they did NOT find any Valentine's gift bags, but Sweetie was able to find a nice substitute.

Lola and Dodong had a nice, quiet day.  Dodong continued to sputter, "Da, da, da, ba, ba, ba ...." with urgency!

Kuya survived school without any reports of misbehaviour.  Hooray!
