I enjoyed reading what everyone does. I am not in the same situation. I can't do a whole lot of anything during these hot summer days in Texas, so I take at most 3 shops. These are usually only due by date and not a timeframe. So I get up when I'm ready, take my time getting ready to shop, eat a bite, make sure I have everything I need for my shops then head out. I am lucky that I can do them back to back. And if one happens not to work out (agent not available at appointed time), I've usually worked them out to where I can then go home.
IF per chance I do have time to kill, I try to swing by my 85 year old mom's house. Can't go by early because she likes to sleep late (think noon). Can't go by to late, because she is frequently at her line dancing class. Always call before going by because she could be out running errands and shopping. Not your typical 85 year old mom.
