shopping

Tuesday: Had to be at the bookstore at 9, I don't recall it being busy. Stopped at the post office on the way home because I had run out of stamps and didn't feel like paying for single letters. Found some mail when I got home.
SMS Harry Potter:
 I have a swap I have to make for one of my groups, my plan was to alter a 'book' box with a Harry Potter Ravenclaw theme. I was hoping to get a Harry Potter book to cover the outside of the box, use some bronze and navy accents and either an eagle or a Ravenclaw crest on the front. So, I've been asking for Harry Potter ephemera in my groups, but haven't got many responses. This was for a SMS Saturday, we kinda broke the rules for a bit, it's only supposed to be adjectives to describe what we wanted. This person wrote down my SMS Harry Potter and got it ready to go out before my comment was delete. I'm very grateful she did, I can still use these items if I just have to go with a Harry Potter theme.
wish for sticker flakes:
 Not happy with these, I've never quite figured out why everyone really likes the poop emoji. I kinda like the rainbow ones, but only cause they don't look like poop.
Another wish for sticker flakes:
 These are pretty cute.
And some more sticker flakes.
 It was like the day of sticker flakes. The kraft mini envelopes are pretty cute, too.
I had a random swap to send out:
 The person I was sending to liked reusable tote bags, elephants, cute socks, sweet things, mint gum, kawaii things, and mermaids.
Also had to send a surprise out to someone:
 She likes butterflies, and I just thought the card was cute.
something unicorn:
 I was so proud of having my stuff all ready to send out on Wednesday.
Wednesday: I had decided Wednesdays were the day to do my errands and I wasn't going to be working at the bookstore. I realized I was out of almost everything. I only had two more days at the bookstore, so only needed minimal supplies for my lunch. I was out of cheese, had meat for one more day and was out of bread. I couldn't find small quantities of cheese or bread, but bought some more anyway.
This is my pile of books I have checked out from the library:
 I feel it's time to read them instead of watching movies all the time. No mail on Wednesday.
I've been opening blind bags to help with my long days:
 the colorful thing on the left is a pikmi pop, a chocolate chip scented dog, a smooshy mooshy, a lost cat, and a beaker thing.
The moose when you squeeze him:
 He's my current favorite stress relieving toy.
The smooshy mooshy when you squeeze it:
 Also, had some flipeze trolls, they kinda transform. Here they are all flipped up:
 And then you flip their tops and bottoms and you get this:
 I really like them this way, I love the hair.
Thursday: I felt more energize from Wednesday, but was still rather tired of not being busy. We had this one guy try to return a backpack but it wasn't on the receipt he had. He kept insisting that he bought it that day. It was a weird interaction.
I was planning on going shopping on my way home, but I was tired and didn't feel like walking to the store from the bus stop and then walking home. Exhaustion won out. Found a couple pieces of mail when I got home.
Harry Potter ephemera:
 Not quite sure I can use this in my project.
ATC:
Very cute, a bit too big in dimensions for an ATC.
Friday: was my last day, I was a bit too excited. They had me down as cashiering, but the returns line got kinda long a few times, so I went back over there to help. They only had two registers, but a lot of the returns were online, and we use a separate computer for that. I screwed up and had to write a note as to why there would be extra money in the register.
Went to Texas Roadhouse with a friend for a celebration of survival dinner. We had an appetizer and then I was too tired to eat, so I had lunch ready for Saturday.
Found some minions when I got home:
 I realize I only wished for something minion, but I'm tired of minion stickers. i should just stop doing wishes.
Saturday: I was originally supposed to open at the library, but I switched shifts so I could relax a bit before going in. I ended up going to Hobby Lobby. I had given myself free rein because I knew it would be the last time I'd be at Hobby Lobby for the rest of the year. Christmas was on sale for 40% off, so I picked up a few things I really wanted:
 Angel wings ($2.39), gemstones ($0.99), pens ($1.24), bags ($0.99), Christmas llamas and cacti stickers ($1.49), Christmas cat stickers ($1.19), glitter bug kit ($2.39)
I love angel wings, actually I like angels that don't look too religious. I picked up these gemstones because they look kinda bronze. Thought I could send these pens and bags in swaps. I couldn't pass up Christmas llamas, cacti and cat stickers, they were too cute. Every year I try to pick up some kit that's not specifically Christmas.
 monster ornament ($1.79), Cake pop cuties ($1.99), 2 keychains (60 cents each), Christmas jar ornament ($2.99), snowman ornament ($2.99), a couple hair accessories ($1.24 and 99 cents respectively), wooden Christmas pieces ($2.39)
I totally picked up the monster for me. Figured I could use the keychains and other ornaments for swaps. I picked up the hair accessories to use the flowers from.
 Gnome ornament ($1.79), gnome house ornament ($2.99) gemstones ($2.99), cup ornament ($1.79), wooden piece (99 cents), mini bottle brush trees ($2.39) Picked up the gnome, gnome house, and cup ornaments as well as the mini trees for swaps. The gemstones and the wooden piece are for my craft.
Spent about $42, everything was either on sale or clearance.
I went down to JoAnn's to see if they had anything afterwards.
 Didn't find much, I always find their prices a bit high.
cards ($1.97), stickers ($1.24), monster stickers ($2.49). Picked it all up for me. I can always use the thank you cards. The stickers had sloths and unicorns dressed up for Halloween.
The monster stickers:
 These were originally $4.99, the orange ones had horns on top, but some of them didn't have both horns and I thought they looked cuter without them. Also, one of the purple ones was missing a foot. I'd think for $5 you could try a bit harder.
After getting home I kinda felt like I should have just stayed home and relaxed, after eating lunch I was a bit more energized. The library was kinda slow, it was the first football game of the season, figured people were there.
Found some mail when I got home.
Happy mail:
 I just feel eh about it.
Floral happy mail:
 Also not that exciting.
And an ATC:
I really like this one.
I wasn't planning on having pop, but I was so exhausted at work, I needed something. I'm so close to the end. I feel I will just sit at home and read on Monday.
