Halloween 2011 involved three separate trips! I don't remember where the first trip took place. The second trip was to Aldi on Pearl Road in Cleveland. Originally, I was going to the Parma-Snow Library, but coordination with the bus in the other direction apparently was not in my favor.
After Aldi, I came home. When I checked my e-mail, I found out that Qdoba was offering a BoGo deal after 5:00 PM! I went to the library as I had planned. I then walked to the bus stop to go to Qdoba. I missed one bus because it arrived late. The next bus was a little late. I then encountered gridlock due to construction on Broadview Road in Parma/Seven Hills. It was also rush hour. Due to time constraints, I departed from the bus a few blocks from Qdoba! Of course, the gridlock ended not long after I exited the bus. I made it to Qdoba. Thankfully, there was only one other person in line ahead of me. Since it was Halloween, it was a take-out order! (Normally, I dine in the restaurant while Bob eats his entree at a later time.) I grab my food and make my return trip home.
In my previous trips, I failed to pick up my Classic Lotto and MegaMillion tickets for the upcoming drawings. I went to C's Beverage on Broadview Road (Ziggy's next door was about to close for the night.). After buying the lottery tickets, I made it home to set up for Halloween with moments to spare. I end up eating my burrito while passing out candy to Trick or Treaters! Thankfully, I was done eating before the onslaught occurred. I ended up with 100-150 kids at my door. Thankfully, the candy supply made it through the night. I spent the rest of the evening relaxing.
I hope that this year's Halloween is as memorable, but stress-free.
