errand circle
Completing various errands that require one to travel all over one's town, often in no particular order, and with new errands popping up in between the ones that were planned ahead of time. The location of the stops do not necessarily make a circle, and stopping at one particular place more than once can be considered part of the circle.
Man, I covered every street in town with that errand circle, and I must've stopped at Wal-Mart at least three times!
