SO... I've "mentioned" My *Dislike* for THIS Time of Year, yes..? -- I just want to make certain that We're ALL on the *SAME* "PAGE" Here...
Anyhoo... Thankfully, MOST of Last Night's FREEZING RAIN, etcetera, was eliminated by a Rise in Temps this Morning. However, there was still a Film of BLACK-ICE that FATHER saw fit to Toil at before MOTHER and I departed for the - [I HOPE!] - LAST of the needed DURING-the-Holidays-"Supplies-Acquisitions"!
Because, BEYOND "THIS POINT", AUNTIE *don't* MIX with The Last-Minute-Scary-Psycho-Shoppers-Who-Think-Their-Driver's-Licenses-Are-A-GIFT-CARD!
...yeah... You Guessed IT... We had to go to COSTCO!
Actually, IT really wasn't *that* Bad "INside"... Afterall, IT was only Thursday... OUTside "Traffic", not-so Civil... -- Honestly, WHEN are People going to UNDERSTAND the *Meaning* of the Word "GRIDLOCK"??!!
BTW, The "Blinder"-Adorned-Pedestrian-Cart-People are also an Integrel PART of the Problem!
**ATTENTION** SHOPPERS! - "Protective"-Personal-FORCEFIELD-SHIELDS are **FICTION**!!
Anyway, ONE **GOOD** THING happened There...
I ran into My *Secret*-Summer-"Project"-Cute-Tall-Strapping-Young-LAD-Sanity-Savior and
"Parent" of -
"BOB"-The-BIG-SCARF!
Needless to say, a PLEASANT and *much* needed SURPRISE!!
Oh-kaay... I'm in My "HAPPY"-Place NOW!
