We slept in this morning. I didn’t get up until after 9 AM. I didn’t get my usual slow morning moving as we got dressed to head into Alexandria to do some Black Friday shopping. Ughhh, it was crazy out there and when we arrived at Wal-mart it looked horrible. People had left their trash everywhere. There were empty soda and bear boxes all over, cans, bottles, paper, cups and what ever else they may of had. It was disgusting. Reminded me of trashy Miami. We finally found a parking space and headed inside. The inside was just as disgusting as the outside. One man was eating from a box of food he had picked up inside the store.
Needless to say i didn’t find what i was after which was a waffle iron and electric griddle. Oh well .. guess i didn’t need them after all. We got what we needed on my list and hurried out. Wall to wall people is just not my cup of tea, esp when people are so rude and obnoxious. I can’t count the times that i was ran over by a cart and not one person said excuse me or sorry!
Next was Big Lots to return a rug i had purchased earlier and it was wall to wall people so we didn’t stay long. We made a few other stops, hubby needed to get a oil filter as it’s that time already, we stopped to see if the grocery stores had any new sales, a few did and a few didn’t. Mac’s had chicken breast 77 cents a lb and so i purchased a family pack to break into small packages. Ground chuck for $1.77, that was better then last week, glad i just got a small package then because I purchased a 10 lb package this time. I love catching things on sale and putting them in freezer until later. We are well stocked up now. I was ready to head home. We decided not to eat out today as we have lots of left over’s and i just wasn’t in the mood to fight anymore of the crowd. I have to say the grocery stores sure were bare compared to the craziness we fought on Tuesday!
The sun just hasn’t come out to play today. It’s a dreary looking day and looks as if it could snow, although it’s way to warm for snow. Temp’s are near 70 but it just doesn’t look inviting out. We did have a bit of drizzle of rain while we were shopping and then again tonight. But nothing major. A cold front is moving in and i can tell it. My back and legs have been screaming at me all day long. I’m not sure if it’s a combination of the weather change and exhaustion setting in. With my MS i get tired very easily and if i over do it hits me with like a ton of bricks.
Since I'm not feeling well my afternoon and evening was spent curled up watching TV and surfing the web. I even took a nap. YES .. I have taken a nap the past couple of days and that means i’m exhausted or sick. My wonderful husband has been doing a good job of taking care of me today. Hubby did dinner tonight which was warmed up left over’s. I had sausage, gravy and biscuits while he had some left over Hobo stew and of course we had left over dessert.
Tonight we did some discussing at some future places we’d like to visit on our winter journey. We have been playing with some dates as to when we will be heading out. Our original plans was head farther south the day after Christmas but that may change do to a wrench that comes our way every so often. We have a couple of RV Rally’s we’d like to attend in Quartzsite this winter and so we’ve penciled those into our plans. I will let you know more later on that when we finalize our plans.
