Synchroncatity 3: Of Empty Parking Lots, Catty Book Bags and Refunds From Glenn Beck

A couple of weeks ago life took me to a vast empty parking lot at a closed Costco, in Huntington Beach, then to the nearby Barnes N Noble. :-D
 
This new Costco has its food court outdoors, which allows for it to thus have a vast area of tables.
 
So I plopped myself down in the middle of all these tables in this empty lot for a half hour of journal writing as all these cars, full of people who had thought, as I did, that the place was gonna be open, drove by, looked at me funny. :-D
 
One car had its windows down so I yelled..."I decided to get here early to avoid the long lines tmorrow morning!" :-D

 

 
Anyway, I went to the bookstore and out of curiosity asked if they had a book, by Nina Amir, called How to Blog a Book and More.
 
They had 1 copy, and a search  found it was not where it was supposed to be, but we found it.

 
I decided to buy it, and as I made my way to the checkout I came across a $17 book bag, meant for long use, with cute cat art in the form of Cats drawn as famous writers Shakespeare, Twain, Poe, Tolstoy, on one side and Austen, Dickinson, and the Bronte Sisters, on the other.
 
More Synchroncatity? :-D

Speaking of which...

 

A message from God that things are about to change for the better? Well, a Gift, at the least. :-D

Checked my mail, yesterday morning, and found a $29.70 check from my previous bank that I'd left a month ago, as I was preparing for my moving to Texas.





 

It was a Merchant Credit from GBTV ( Glenn Beck's Network, and he's in Dallas, TX. don't ya know. :-D )

 

I had discovered that I had somehow kept a $4.95 a mo. subscription going, despite having a totally forgotten annual subscription.

 

When I called them on it they promised to look into things, and give me a refund if possible.





 

This check is a 6 mo. refund. :-D

Oh and don't worry, no refund checks were harmed in the making of this blog post. :-D

****Inspirational Update and Sing-a-Long - 7/27/12****

My longtime friend, encourager and commentor to my blogging, Jaspar, submitted the following, which led me to promote it from the Comments and add an appropriate link to a video/audio for those in the mood to lift up your voice and sing. :-D

"The eyes of Texas are upon you, All the live long day

The eyes of Texas are upon you, And you cannot get away

 Do not think you can escape them From night till early in the morn

 The eyes of Texas are upon you, Till Gabriel blows his horn... :) "

You are so clever, Kiril.

I love the beautiful tote bag with cute cat art. If I had seen it, I might have purchased it, too.

I love how you coined your own term "synchrocatity" as a play on words when synchronicity with cats comes in to play.

I think it's terrific that you are undeterred and can do journal writing anywhere. Good for you!
