Yesterday's calling

I am starting to think I have little callings, not big ones that anyone would ever really notice. Like yesterday...

I woke up about 9am, it was my day off. The first thought that went through my mind is that my mom needs a new laptop and I need to go buy her one, her's is old and the screen is dying. She is recovering from double knee surgery and I guess I am still on the clock.

My iPhone sat next to my alarm clock, I reached over and googled refurbished laptops and found a shop in Folsom. I gave them a call, the nice rep on the phone said they have a better selection of laptops at there other location, opposite direction of my moms.

Thinking about the fact I could go get a coffee soon if I got up and headed out the door. I had other errands and wasn't quite sure I was actually going to purchase a laptop so I wondered around Longs and flipped through some magazines.

I walked out of Longs and decided I would just go to mom's house now and go grocery shopping for her. I headed to the 50 with the intention of heading East to South Lake Tahoe. I was in the wrong lane and realized it too late, I was heading to West Sacramento. Well I thought, "I may as well check out the "other" location in Rancho Cordova."

Around noon I had found a laptop just slightly bigger than mom's ancient one but still old enough we didn't have to upgrade any of her external devices. What a bargin $350.00.

That evening my mom had her new refurbished laptop. My duty was done and I went back home.
