a minor catastrophe averted

edenfallingThe plan for today ran as follows:
Step One: get up 11:30am, morning routine, catch 12:15pm bus, eat at grocery store cafe, buy groceries, catch 1:30pm bus home, put away groceries. Step Two: leave apartment by 2:00pm, walk into town, attempt to get haircut. (Step Two Point Five: lunch?) Step Three: get to smoke shop by 3:30pm, work, close store at 8:00pm, walk home.
This worked just fine until I arrived home from the grocery store and realized I'd left one of my three bags on the bus... and it was the one with the chicken thighs that are the planned basis of my dinners for the next week. *headdesk* Fortunately, the #13 bus stops at the Seneca St. bus station, so I figured if I hurried I could still get to the Commons, get my hair cut, and be standing at the curb when the bus came by at 3:00pm in hopes that the bag would still be there.
I DID AND IT WAS! The bus driver had saved it in the little compartment where drivers can keep their own snacks and drinks and so-on, and had even told her replacement so he kept it there and knew exactly what I was trying to ask before I could finish my question.
Sometimes people are just awesome. :-D
I stashed the chicken in the back of a drinks cooler while I was at work, and it is now safely in my freezer, thank goodness. Lunch fell by the wayside, but eh, I sleep through my lunch break a lot of the time anyway and subsist on peanuts or chips until I get home and eat proper food for dinner.
I have also shoveled way more snow in one day than I expect to see in the whole month of December, but again, eh. Winter is not a predictable season, and I'd rather have it descend early and hard than never arrive at all.
