First solo trip to the Prisma

Today was my first day going to the Prisma alone. It was also the second time I have done laundry with a dryer! The Prisma trip went well, I took my time and really looked at things on the second level (non-food level). The second level was not as crowded as the first level so I was able to look around and learn where things are. I found most of the things that I needed except oil. I was however, unable to get everything on my list because it is all to heavy to carry by myself. It will take a few more trips to stock up on the larger items and then my weekday trips will not be bad. I did manage to get everything to make a pot of sweet tea and have made two in the coffee maker :) I would not need as much if the Prisma was open yesterday because Randall would have carried the heavy stuff for me. We tried to go yesterday and were surprised when it was closed. We should have paid closer attention to the hours sign on the door. Fortunately we were able to locate a store that was open so we could get our supper!
Laundry today was an experience, I had to wash all of our jeans which take a long time to dry. The dryer ran for 2 hours and they were still slightly damp around the pockets and waist! I will not wash that many jeans at a time again if I can help it. Fortunately no one else had checked out the facilities until 3:00 this afternoon so I was able to continue reserving time when I checked on them every half hour from 10:00 until 12:00. I made sure I reserved 2 hours for Wednesday even though I hope not to take that long.
