Third day - donations and grocery bags
Drove to the teacher recycling center and donated two printers and a box of books. At the self service grocery store (Aldi's), I noticed a woman who didn't have enough bags to pack up her groceries. I ran out to the car and got a bunch I keep in the trunk and gave them to her. I think before I started 29 gifts I would have thought about giving her those bags, but I might not have taken the time to go get them and bring them back into the store. She was really grateful.
