Once my schedule got off track at the start of the day, there was no chance in hell I was going to resume my intended course for the day.

Today was just one of those days where everything I planned went awry. As I reported in my initial blog post for today, I added a few more hours of unintended sleep, which threw my schedule off.

At 2 PM, I was seated at my desk for my zoom conference. 40 minutes into the conference, the electricity went out. I simply went back to my bedroom and fell asleep.

I decided I wanted some sugar-free vanilla ice cream so I hopped on the southbound No. 17 and went to the pet store to get some chewables for the pooches, and then meandered on over to Kroger. Our Kroger is being remodeled, enlarged, and basically turned all around. Oh my handy-dandy grocery list was pointless. I knew what I needed, but the order in which I had listed my items was not even close to the order in which I had intended to find them. I’m not complaining, as I do prefer a good challenge, when it comes to grocery shopping and finding where they’ve moved everything.

It seemed as though there were a lot of folks who had no idea what they needed, wanted, or I even had a nervous system. In many ways, it was like watching a zombie movie.  Some college students have returned, and I always am amused to watch them shop. Some obviously understand the whole concept. However, there are some that still need to have their parents with them. Hell, it would probably behoove me to have a parent with me.

It appears that a storm is rolling in, but I should be on the bus before it arrives. I’m sitting here on the park bench at the bus, stop, watching , some uncanny driving practices. It can get easily congested, and some drivers have absolutely no comprehension of how to work with others. The lack of turn signal use is impressive. One lady, in her big SUV, made a U-turn in the exact spot where there’s a sign that indicates U-turns are prohibited. I shook my head at her as she passed, and she just laughed and gave me the finger. I’m guessing her ponytail was pulled too tight , and it was affecting her senses.

Chick-fil-A is packed and seems to be doing a good business tonight, as always. I had hoped to get a rotisserie chicken in Kroger, but the past two times I’ve attempted to get one they’re gone. I wonder if I’m looking in the right place anymore.

For some reason, I didn’t pull the cord to signal a bus stop at my usual location. Fortunately, I only had two blocks to walk instead of just crossing the street. I was hoping to have 30 minutes of time on the deck, but as I walked up my driveway, the little droplets of rain, we’re starting to show on the pavement.
