Day 175: Shopping and Laundry

Today was somewhat lazy Sunday. Ted has been really tired lately because of the physical work and the therapy he's been getting for his arm and his foot so I thought it best that he be allowed to sleep in as late as he likes.

We went to the BX/PX because I wanted to get some thread and a few needles to handle some minor clothes repairs. They didn't have it. It's very frustrating because we will have to go to the craft store on Patch Base to get it and they are only open during the week.

We stopped at the Commissary for rest of the stuff I didn't get yesterday. Mostly things I cannot or don't want from the economy along with some produce.

Since one of the Patch exits isn't availabel due to construction, we decided to go the route that goes by the Galleria (which by the way is closed on Sunday) Most stores are. The BX/PX and Commissary are on the military base and thus are open on Sundays.

There was another detour on that road so we were detoured again. Now we were going in a different direction and in a part of town that we had never been in. Thank goodness for Julie but it took awhile for her to start up. We got back on track and were able to find our way.

We brought the bags home and put them away. Then we went to check out another little town nearby called Hohenheim.

We came home and watched a moved called "The Miracle of the Widow Woman" based on the widow woman in 2Kings. Beautiful story!

It was almost 9pm when we went to do laundry. Hopefully we'll have a washer and dryer within the next two weeks to three weeks.

Two washers were giving me trouble taking the coins. One machine finally worked but the other one ate over $3 in coins and I have to call the base and get reimbursed. So we would be later than we normally would be since we had to wait for the washer to complete its cycle.

With the wash done, we were on our way home by 10:30pm and it's time for another week of work for Ted and me.
