July 22/23 - Two not so good days
off! Day one started off just fine. Once breakfast was done we showered, dressed
and headed to Willimantic/North Windham area.
Bill stayed in the truck while I made stops at Kohl’s, Michaels and
Dollar Tree. A few days ago I googled
to see if there was a fresh seafood market anywhere near us and The Fish Market
is on Main Street in Willimantic. I also
noted that they prepare fresh seafood meals “to go”. We decided to have lunch there. This was the best part of my day! I had a box lunch of calamari with fries and
cole slaw and Bill had fried shrimp and
the sides. We sat outside at one of
their shaded tables and enjoyed our fresh lunch.
We went back in and after talking
about the varied assortment of fish they have and checked out the lobster
tanks, we left with jumbo shrimp for Bill’s dinner and PEI PEI
The only other stops were Aldi,
which is really fast for me as I don’t even take a cart, just a Trader Joe bag. Then we went to Wal-mart. The plan was Bill was to do a return at
customer service, then go to the pharmacy and have them rerun my script using
my prescription card and get one item from our shopping list. He called that he was done and going back to
the car. I had been waiting in the
fabric department and could not get any help and then checked the time!!! Oops!
We were supposed to be home before 2:30 as Bill had an appointment about
40 minutes from Charlie Brown at 3:30. I
left the fabric and raced to the grocery side and got a case of water and a
couple of produce items, checked out and hurried to the truck.
I don’t know how time got away
from me and Bill didn’t even notice, but we got home and he just took off to
his appointment. Well, when he got back
he realized he didn’t have his fanny pack which he carries his wallet in. We checked the truck multiple times, all in
the RV, and he decided he must have laid it on the back of the truck while he
got something else out of the truck once he dropped me at the door of
Walmart. It must have fallen off or
someone snagged it!
So, we spent time then and the following day calling all the credit cards, insurance cards, voter card and think we got them all cancelled and requested replacements. He spent time online ordering a new drivers license, called Wal-mart 2 days in a row and the North Windham police department. No one used any of the cards so we figure they took what cash he had and pitched the bag. I wanted to drive back and look in the trash cans close to where we parked but Bill was not in favor!
We did enjoy our dinner! I steamed Bill's big shrimp first as they would take longer and I made some cocktail sauce for him. Bill iced his shrimp while I put my mussels on to steam. I made a little sauce of butter, lemon juice, onion powder and garlic salt. We had slaw and glazed carrots. That was a lot of shrimp!!! I could have eaten more mussels as they were perfect!
What a mess! Then I received an email that his payment on
his CC to the acupuncturist didn’t go through which was due to canceling the
card. Bill called to set his next
appointment and I gave them my CC number so that was easy. That’s a stressful mess!
He was bummed it was his Big
Skinny wallet he got at the RV show and lost some photos that he always
carried. I did order him anew Big
Skinny, but he won’t have much to put in it til the mail gets to our house,
forwards to Kam and she Priority mails a packet to us. He can still drive as I
printed a photo of his license and he has the receipt for ordering a new one. FYI, everyone should take photos of their ID,
etc, with their smart phones so it’s all at your finger tips. My “records” for all these things are home but
luckily we both keep photos of our drivers license.
So we’re looking for a better time
the rest of our days off!
