Ugh! Crowds!!!

I can not buy my food early usually, just in case we lose power – that would suck! And has sucked!!

I went today… just as I get to the store, the man on the radio says – busiest grocery shopping day of the year lol – oh great! I thought that would be tmrw – but guess not?

And boy was he right!! Oh my god! People in every isle – and there were some nice friendly people, but more often than not, kinda rude 🤨 I could not wait to get out of there!! Oh my!!

And then of course at the doors – are people asking for whatever – signatures for something or money donation…

I don’t have extra money to donate at all… I am lucky I was able to have what I got today.

So now I don’t have to go to store at all – any stores – except later in month to shop (not a shopper, don’t have money for that)

I also do not like crowds – as a matter of fact… I have laid claim to the most awesome mall of all, for that reason.

One year, I was shopping – and was just too much crowds. For me… “nope, I’m out” … when the parking lot people are landing airplanes to park the cars – yeah I’m good!

So some guy at work says, you should go to Main St Mall (not the actual name of the mall) he told me had less crowds

Ohhh nice, I’ll try it… so I went – and I heard the angels sing that year!! No crowds at all… I had my pick of parking, I walk in and it’s like I own the mall … I can walk into any store, and boom – no lines!! They have decent stores – it’s an old mall from maybe the 1980’s – complete with inside movie theater … oh it is so awesome!! Even during Christmas!! Every time!!

I only go during Christmas cause I hate malls, but I have to shop for people … but I do love this mall!

Anyway… it’s been really windy… I keep checking the power company website to check for any outage but nothing listed for being turned off – no power safety mentioned … and we are having heavy winds AND rain… crazy winds! The rain is kinda boring at the moment – it is cold outside!! Brrr!!

I do love storms – when I was a young kid, we lived in Florida for a few years. We saw many hurricanes – I love hurricanes!

We would be down on the beach and my dad would be filming us … I was maybe 8 or 9 pretending to be a weather reporter … we still have those videos – which I am highly embarrassed of lol

But I really love storms! I love the smell of the air, the fierceness, just Mother Nature being incredible

So right now we have mostly wind, but also boring drippy rain- but we are nice, warm and dry inside. I was lucky enough to get the grocery shopping done BEFORE the rain started. Usually rain will start, the second I leave the house… so someone likes me today – woo hoo!

Actually turning out to be a pretty decent holiday week! Well despite the crowds – ugh – fricken holiday crowds ugh!!! Here it comes ugh!

Have a good night!
