Early AM Grocery Shopping

Got a basket full of crap, front parking spot, no line at the check out. This is what 530am at Wal-Mart is like. You have to step around the stockers every once in a while... and the guy with the floor buffer will keep giving you these looks like you're in his way... but for the most part, I highly recommend that time of day for Wal-Mart.

It was a morning work out. It had been so long since I had been to the store, I had nothing. But now I'm stocked up on produce and dairy and meats and frozen things. First, I walked around the entire store. By the end of the run, the basket is full and going around corners started becoming tiresome. Unloaded everything to be checked. Loaded everything back in. Pushed overflowing basket to car. Unloaded everything into the car. Took basket back into store. Then I got to rest for the drive home. Unloaded everything onto the back porch because going in and out of the back door with the cats underfoot and trying to dart outside does not work. Closed back door to porch. Opened up real back door. Tripped over stampede of cats. Tried to get all the frozen stuff into the freezer because things were starting to defrost quickly. Cricket at this time starts playing ninja with all the plastic sacks I have thrown everywhere. Got all the cold stuff put up. Grabbed a paper towel to wipe the sweat that was already streaming down my face because it's already a thousand degrees with 15 million percent humidity. That's MY real-feel for ya! Went to my bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, stripped nekked and stood there in front of the air conditioner cursing summer.

How was YOUR early morning Friday?

Got up early, re-set the sprinkler system to not deprive roomie of water pressure during a.m. shower, installed lock on door to my stuff (the big guy got one more shot), called a D.C. (student of Kurth) about a C.A. position locally, went to MartMart for food then had breakfast.
