Dollar Tree
When Alex got home from his day program his aide was talking about Dollar Tree. Alex got his treats and Ben felt left out. Ben said “Dollar Tree, please,” and words have power. It’s only a few blocks away and we went on a walk the way we usually go. Sadly there was a very…

So Very Sleepy
Yesterday was busy. Appointments, shopping, and taking the new cat to the Humane Society to see if they can find the original owner. I also had caffeine and THC again. So it’s understandable that I am sleepy today. There will always be appointments and shopping, so I (and we) need to keep up our energy.…

Shopping and Snow Storms
Today I went grocery shopping with my mobility challenged buddy. We got home well before the snow emergency started. So Stephanie went grocery shopping too. I am just finishing a Digiorno pizza and sipping on a THC infused soda. It’s a good night to be stuck in the house. My youngest is sitting next to…

Family Shopping Trip
Stephanie, our two youngest sons, and I took a trip to Target. I like these trips. They get us all out of the house. They get the boys out into the community. And they put our family in context locally. Well, maybe not the last one. I’d be surprised if anyone remembers us going to…

Black Friday 24
The next commercial holiday in the USA is Christmas. The annual buying spree begins with Black Friday. People trample each other for sales on new stuff the day after claiming to be grateful for the stuff they already have. There’s a method to the marketing though.

Shopping for Anything
Where would you go on a shopping spree? If I could shop for anything and had enough money to pay for it all I would shop for local real estate. Maybe some empty land to build some affordable housing too. But I’m already in debt and not a good economic risk so my dreams of…

Ideal Day
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end. First of all I would wake up around 8am feeling refreshed and ready to get up and face my day. That is a rare ocurance. I would get up and get dressed. That’s important. One of my goals is to get dressed every day. The first…

Good and Well
I am good and well this evening. We’ve done our errands and a little pleasure shopping. I am free from physical, mental, and emotional pain at the moment. If I’ve done any good in the world today I hope it somehow relates to our new bumper sticker. It reads “Freedom of Religion Means ANY Religion.”…

Christmastime in Retail
I worked the floor tonight and we had hundreds of last minute shoppers. I spend most of the evening on a cash register. It got me wondering how we ever got to this point in our culture where Christmas is a time for big sales and a lot of them. I suppose there’s a practical…

Pharmaceuticals
I spent the evening in drive thru again. I prefer that to checking people in for vaccines. The pharmacy hours got extended so I got to leave right at 8pm. Then I went shopping. Paper plates, fig bars, dark chocolate pretzels, Rx Energys, and COVID tests. I do not have COVID but my wife does.…
