Taking my mother-in-law shopping was only one of the errands of the evening. On the other hand, it might be classed as the most successful. One place I was supposed to stop didn’t seem to be where the map said, and I never found it; one of the errands I did had me ordering something I will have to cancel tomorrow, because it won’t arrive in time so we’ve already gotten it somewhere else. Thus a fair amount of time was lost.

I perceive that there is still a fair amount ahead of me, so I’d better plough into it.
