Getting to and from SM Aura for our weekly grocery run was a bit more arduous today as holiday traffic really seems to be building up. It also rained a bit today and that never helps things along. But we needed to go out for supplies and to get a bit more Christmas shopping done. We at least cleared the last of our O Bar-related gifts but I'm already considering how to shift the last of my shopping to Lazada in order to avoid the need to go out. Or we limit future Christmas shopping on foot versus bringing the car around.
The mall wasn't too crazy, but I guess that's also because of the weird MMDA ban on mallwide sales during this holiday period. I don't know if that's going to stick or if it will really help with the overall traffic situation. But the mall is the mall and we cleared our errands as quickly as possible and tried to get back home ASAP.
I'm now going through the Something Like series of queer novels by Jay Bell. I'm not the biggest fan of his work and my first foray into this range hasn't been particularly fulfilling. But I still need easy reading to help clear my target for the year and we'll see how long I stick with this. The problem is that he goes more for coming-of-age stories with a lot more emotional heft. I'd probably be better off with even trashier titles, but we'll see how things go.
