The Elf is Back!

Having had so much fun this time last year trying to find the Elf hidden in the neighborhood grocery store, I was happy to see, on Monday, it had turned into such a popular event that they brought the elf back.

Unfortunately, the elf evaded me that day.

Noticing the neighborhood store was redlining us yet again, i.e., offering inferior products, I passed on broccoli and avocados with the plan to head to their store in the posh neighborhood. Which is what I did yesterday ─ also picking up eggs and almond milk with a much longer date before expiration than that at the neighborhood store.

Lo and behold, posh neighborhood is getting in on the elf game.

I guess we were the test location, and that it was such a success ─ even though the prize is just a small candy cane, that the elf has gone chain store wide.

GOTCHA!

On my way out of the market, I saw a sign indicating a 5K for this morning, Saturday.

Kinda last minute for me but, upon investigating the event, I found it’s only a 30 minute drive from the complex and I can register at race site.

So, up at 5:00 this morning, debating if I wanted to follow through ─ leave my warm comfortable unit, head out into the cold dark world for a 3.12 mile walk, I heard a weird sound outside.

It was rain.

That settles that, but the second 5K I've had to bow out of due to heavy rain.

I ain't mad at it though. Staying indoors catching up on recorded tv programs, working on needlepoint is a good way to spend a rainy Saturday.

On another topic, I ran across a clever response, on Twitter, to 45 calling out Trudeau as two-faced. 

Now that’s just hurtful ... vicious! 

LOL, I like it.

Sorry not sorry.
