errands
Around-town chores
Errands are short trips to accomplish specific tasks, usually routine ones like picking up groceries, dropping off dry cleaning, or mailing a package.
The word implies minor obligations that take you out of the house: I have to run some errands this afternoon.
Errands are distinguished from more significant outings by their mundane, practical nature.
