The stores sell only huge bags of ice. I wish they'd sell small bags of ice for people who want ice but don't need huge bags of it.
Can't you ask the kitchen for a smaller bag of ice? Do you only have a refrigerator?

Go somewhere that sells fountain drinks to-go & get an extra-large cup of ice. If that doesn't fit in your freezer (you have one?), then divvy it up into smaller plastic bags.

Ha! It's so hot right now that any ice I get somewhere will have melted by the time I get home. And I have an itty bitty little open freezer shelf that's inside my compact fridge and doesn't hold much. However, I have since found a tiny ice cube tray that makes tiny ice cubes and will fit inside that freezer shelf. So all is not lost.
However, I think my original complaint is still valid. Not everyone has a huge freezer that stores a lot or wants a huge bag of ice, but if you want to buy ice at the store, that's what we're stuck with. The ice makers don't make half-size or quarter-size bags.
I have a small cooler that I take to the grocery store when I buy frozen foods like Gardein products. It's a soft cooler, but it works pretty well.Ha!

New England Fall Foliage 2017: When Do The Leaves Change?
Visiting New England to see the leaves turn is on my bucket list. I won't get there this year, but maybe next year...

I heard on NPR this morning that my state (Connecticut) is set to have a great foliage season. This makes me so happy.
I will try to post some pictures here this year.
I will be in Upstate New York the second weekend in October and possibly Massachusetts the weekend before that but that is less likely. I'm hoping it won't be past peak foliage and that I'll get to see some pretty colors.

I think we're going to have a wonderfully colorful fall here in Michigan, too... some leaves are just starting to turn....

I've got a couple of stories, but this is neither the time nor place.... LOLI am in awe of people who can stand naked in front of other people and not be uncomfortable.

OK, this is odd.... We got a ton of mail today & among it all was an issue of Cosmopolitan... addressed to me. 
I'm perplexed, and a little disturbed. I sure as hell hope nobody wasted their money on a subscription for me. If that's the case, then that person doesn't know me at ALL... as if I would peruse anything that had Miley f*cking Cyrus on the cover....
Maybe I'll donate it to my dentist's office.... or a teenage girl. LMAO

I have a THERMOS-brand thermos, which is very well insulated. I go to a restaurant that has an ice machine and fill it with ice (chips) before I leave. I think this might solve your "it will melt before I get home" problem. The thermos still has some ice in it for about 20 hours after I leave the restaurant. Also, you will not be polluting the environment with disposable cups.
The main drawback is the thermos will cost you something. I think I paid $20 or $25 for mine.
I don't use it for your purposes, but rather to have ice for cold drinks. I will use some of the ice in a cup with whatever I am drinking, like iced tea or water.

I think I may need to get a bit more specific in labeling my food containers before putting them in the freezer. I'm thawing two now... one says "cheesy" ultra-veggie bake... the other says vegan casserole... but they appear to be essentially the same thing. LOL
Correction... they are exactly the same concoction.

You know how, when you get a prescription, the instructions will usually say, “Take it with a full glass of water”. Well, I don’t do that, and I can’t imagine anyone else does that, either. I drink just enough water to get the pills down without the pills sticking. But I feel really guilty when I don’t drink more than that. My crazy mother would sometimes take pills without water at all, but I can’t do that.

Oh yes! My doctor explained the need for a full glass of water for it to work properly and not cause irritation. I also drink a full glass with my vitamins.
