Yesterday I realized it was the last day to use a coupon at Michaels, the kind of coupon that I got because of past spending. It was only for $5.00, but I will need a new sketchbook soon.
Yes, I have sketchbooks, but I use a particular type for my early morning practice.
It has been so long since I went to a retail place that I forgot what a nightmare it can be: more shoppers, more traffic, that kind of nightmare. I was hoping for a seasonal respite, since retail places are usually months ahead. I was looking forward to some early autumnal vibes.
No such luck. I came home and made this Facebook post:
"Went to Michaels to use $5.00 off coupon that expires at the end of the day--I was hoping for an autumnal infusion, but the place was in disarray, just like my sense of the season: clearance priced summer beach stuff mixed with incoming Halloween stuff, along with random baking supplies on sale and back to school supplies of unmarked prices. With my coupon and the buy one, get one at 50% off deal, I did get a free sketchbook when I bought one sketchbook, so at least I was able to get what I came for--in fact, double what I came for!"
