I went to the 4th Avenue Street fair. As usual there were so many beautiful things that I didn't need and wouldn't have a place to put them and couldn't afford. I did pick up a few scarves in the used clothing stores and some foot at Food Conspiracy. That's besides the food that I ate there. The Street fair is really just an excuse for eating the entire time you're there.

I managed to spend four hours looking at things I wasn't going to buy and eating food I didn't need to eat, but it's fun. This is high class crafts. It's still arts and crafts but very nice and, often, very expensive. I will admit, I did buy a couple of Christmas presents, but that's it. It was cool enough but sunny so it was a beautiful day to walk up and down 4th Avenue.

I wrapped a couple presents that need to be done this week. While doing this I realized that I had been to the store earlier and had gotten $40.00 change on my debit card, only I hadn't gotten the money. I was fussing with my stuff and forgot to notice that I didn't get the cash. I called the store up but they were rather snippy about the whole thing. I feel like an idiot and I think I'm out $40.00. I'm also depressed because of this. This is not a good way to end a lovely day.

Well, what's done is done but I always feel like a fool when my mind skips a beat like this. Sometimes I worry that it's altzheimers but I've done this since I can remember. It's more because I'm concentrating on something else and don't remember what I've done, or not done, till later something brings it to mind. I gather this is part of ADD but even when I know why I still don't like blanking like that. I'm usually good at multitasking, too.
