What the Junk?!

Oops, impulse!

I just ordered another Fossil bag on eBay.  It was one I was looking at when I bought the cute little striped one.  I got an alert today that a bag on my watch list was about to end via auction. It was cheap and still at the opening bid, so I decided to bid on it. I won with the opening bid. Yay! It's another fabric one and a pattern I've wanted for a while now.  I'll take pictures when it gets here.

I ran to the grocery store today to get a few things I missed when I went earlier.  I participate in a program they have that when you buy x amount of something in different departments, you get some money back on a future trip. (Example, spend $30 in frozen, get $5 back.) I had enough rewards today that my total was free.  That was crazy! I didn't mind though! 

I got myself a treat at the store today. I bought a pint of ice cream. Not just any ice cream, but coffee ice cream. Yummy!  I used to get a coffee ice cream from Starbucks, it was in grocery stores. It was SO good.  I decided to give this a try.  I wish Starbucks still made it.  I haven't tried this yet, but I'm hoping it's good.  Coffee ice cream? How could it be bad? :P

Friday morning post

I am up a little early as I couldn't sleep. It's is another beautiful day here! The forecast was for thunderstorms and rain all day.  I'm glad it was wrong!  I took one picture of the beach and one of my setup here.  I am not sure what I'm doing today.  We'll see.  I might walk out to 17 again or I might walk up Ocean Blvd. or I might do a beach walk.  I haven't decided yet.  For now, I'm going to sit and relax a bit. I'll fix something to eat, drink some coffee and then decide!

Thursday morning post

Hello there!  It is nice and hot today at Myrtle Beach! The weather last night said it was supposed to be raining this morning, but it is definitely NOT raining!  I am not complaining one bit.  I was going to post this from the balcony, but it's hot as hell out there and I could barely see the screen. :p

I came in and I am not in airconditioned comfort but I can still see that beautiful ocean! It's definitely a lovely day and a big contrast to yesterday!  I am not sure exactly what I'm going to do today.  Walk or relax or...?  We'll see!  Right now I'm cooling off.  

I took three pictures today to share. Two of the ocean and one of my chair with my Macbook Pro and Starbucks tumbler of coffee.  Sadly it's room coffee and not Starbucks coffee, but you make do! :P

Wednesday afternoon post

Well, we went out and went up to North Myrtle Beach.  We went to the Goodwill up there and my friend went to a pawn shop and a guitar store.  We also went to Tuesday Morning.  I got washi. (like I really need more!) and a few other things for journaling.  I spent $18 and I have no idea how. LOL

I only got a package of Scotch tape at Goodwill.  LOL, It was new in pack two-pack of scotch tape for .50 so I bought it!  I didn't get a chance to look at a lot of other stuff because the section I like to browse in was full of people.  I was about to lose my temper, so I left!

On the way back into Myrtle, we passed a Starbucks with a drive-thru that wasn't busy and my friend stopped so I could get a latte.  It was delicious, too!  They didn't have cascara syrup either, oh well.  The drink I got was pretty darn good.  Another freebie with stars! I took a picture of the tops of some tress outside the pawnshop while waiting.  I also took a picture of the ocean from the room when we got back.  It's calmed down quite a lot.

Monday Afternoon post

So, we made it to the other hotel.  We came down and got on the list for check-in and then went to get some food.  We ate at a Pancake place.  It was pretty tasty!  We ran up to Conway SC to go to a Goodwill there and for my friend to go to a pawn shop.  He stopped by Starbucks on the way back so I could get a drink. Yay!  

We came back to the hotel and were able to get our room.  I am now sitting in the room on my bed relaxing and posting.  I took three pictures from the balcony here.  I will share them with you.  

 

Sunday morning post from Myrtle

I went to bed right after midnight and I was able to sleep! I woke up several times during the night, but I fell back asleep each time. It was unbelievably nice to get to sleep like that.  I feel like an actual human today! :P

The hotel here has coffee pots but no coffee for them! AHHHHHHH I will have to go and get some ..soon... lol. The hotel we are going to has single serve coffee makers (if they still have the same ones as when we stayed before) so they should have coffee available.  I'm going to look on Google and see where the closest place is that I can get coffee.  The nearest Starbucks is quite a walk away.  There is a Dunkin closer.  I will decide what to do.  I need to eat something before I go out and I'm not ready to get dressed and go just yet.  I will though as this is the only day we'll be staying this close to the SkyWheel / Pavilion area.  I really want to go to a few storesup that way.  I will pass a Starbucks on the way and there is the Oceanfront one... Mmmmmm Starbucks... 

So, yeah, that is my day so far. LOL I have gotten some sleep and now it's just a time to decide what to do. I just checked and it's 82˚ here today.  Yikes! I think that since this is the day I'll be closest to the Pavilion, I'll go there today.  I just have to get myself up and going.  I know once I eat some leftover pizza and head out, I'll be good.  There are places I can get a snack on the way too, if I want.  Yes, I guess it's Pavilion today.  I'll try to take pictures to share later.

For now, I took a few pictures from the balcony just before coming to post this to share. Enjoy and I'll be back later this afternoon!

Letters but no lattes!

I sat down today and got my letters written and then went to mail them off. It's quite hot outside today.  I should have known when I was trying to sleep last night and it was so warm that I had to turn the air conditioning on!  It's been on all day today, too!  I was walking out the door to mail my letters and realized that one of them didn't have a stamp.  I ran back into the house and got a stamp and then went back to my car.  I drove down to the post office and ran in. I dropped my letters off and then checked my box.  I had five more letters waiting.  Well, four that I'll actually answer.  The fifth was from an inmate. ~_~;  I used to write a few of them, but they always get the idea that we are in a relationship and that is not going to happen. I don't want to date anyone on the outside either. LOL!

I had thought about going by Starbucks while I was out because I have a bunch of stars and I could have gotten a free drink, but I figured with it being Saturday, they would be really busy so I skipped it!  Plus it was hot and I have no air. I prefer hot coffee and today was not the day. If I had air, yes, but I don't.  Oh well! My stars don't run out anytime soon, so I'm good!

 

Hello!

Here is a better picture of my cute book/ereader bags.  They are reversible, too!  Check them out:

Aren't they cute?  Very well made, too.  If you want something similar, the Etsy shop is: Coffee & A Good Book 

 

Mmmm

So, I have tried to get a refill for one of my meds for the whole week now!  The app and the website for my pharmacy were not working correctly. I also tried to do an automatic call to refill and still nothing.  I had to give up and actually call the pharmacy yesterday.  They said they'd call.  I thought, good, this will finally be over. Today, nothing.  So, I called my doctor's office. They are currently closed because of COVID-19.  I was able to talk to the answering service and was able to get a refill called in.  Luckily, they refilled it this afternoon and I was able to run down and pick it up.  Whew!

While I was out, I decided to take a chance and run over to Starbucks.  The line was pretty darn long, but I was able to get through the line pretty quickly.  I tried something new.  I got a Blonde vanilla latte. It was pretty good! Not as good as my Cascara, but it was tasty!  I'm not sure if it will be my new go-to drink.  I'll try several things and see.  

Goodness!

That puzzle was crazy. It took longer to finish than I thought it would.  It's very pretty though.  I was glad to get that done.  When I got done, there was one missing piece and I was getting irked.  Luckily, I found it so it is complete.  I went out for a bit. I thought I'd ride by Starbucks but wouldn't be able to go because I figured they'd be lined up around the building.  I go and no one is at the speaker!  I thought... hmm... So, yes, I got myself a latte.  It was so sad to look in as I was driving out and seeing all the tables and chairs all stacked up. I hope everything can get back to normal soon.  I totally understand the precautions going on an hopefully they will help. It's just so strange seeing so many places closed!

While I was out, I got a little bit of gas in my car.  I wasn't out or too low, but I figured I'd better get some just in case.  I did that and then headed home.  I didn't want to stay out too long. It was nice to get out for a bit.  I'm hoping my friend will want to walk again tomorrow.  The fresh air on the trail was so nice yesterday.  I figured he would need a day or two to recover. :p
