Okay, so I doubled down on Buy Nothing day..

I went to the big store with name that sounds like "Nome Repo".

Bought nothing, used their restroom.

I think I should get extra credit.

I was going to pack a picnic and go sit by the creek. But I decided I didn't even want to drive today. So instead, I sat on my deck and enjoyed the sunshine while feeding peanuts to the Blue Jays. We had a nice conversation.

There's a squirrel who comes to see me for peanuts, will take them out of my hand. I call him Earl, but it could be Pearl..

The jays will swoop in for a theft if I put out extras.
