I have been a guilty user of words that are not always clear in their meanings, you know?
And so I enjoy delving further into my first language that I utilize usually without much thought.
And yes today was a whirlwind of movement, therefore definition number two would be what we did.

We left the home front fairly early on our venture to accomplish shopping for gifts and needed items. The weather was to be much warmer today than it has been over the last few days… and it did get there in and out really due to whenever the sun showed its face.
And so Hubby and I were prepared for anything temperature wise, layers is what we wore and periodically would zip up or remove clothing during our morning rounds. Yes we had a few stops a flea market for my ideas of finding this or that for the house, no luck there, and then a quickie healthy lunch at our restaurant for that Crispers, which has something to do with the Publix grocery chain I believe they own them, but I could be wrong. They do not allow tipping there only contributions to their one and only charity, United Way and so we do give what we can when we can and today Hubby did once again, got that?
The food is of the soup and salad variety with a few other choices on the menu which changes often and the prices are not very high considering no tipping is allowed. From there our intention was to go on to the larger chain store where I felt I could find the remainder of the items we were searching for.
But after going down a few isles and through a few departments I had a strange feeling come over me. Of nausea and being closed in, and so I urged Hubby to return the one item we had chosen and to get me out of the store!
And so we did leave, oddly enough once outside of the building the sensation of foreboding left me immediately as we got into the car though I did feel light-headed and needed cooler air the open window didn’t help, and even though the outside temperature stated it was fifty-six degrees, we have a computer read in the car itself which came with the car, but I needed the air-conditioner on and as soon as it went on I felt some relief, except from the sun that was shinning in and hurting my bad eye, my right.
So strange I wonder what it was all about even at home when my blood pressure was checked it had gone up and my pulse too.
An anomaly I suspect for within hours I was better, thankfully.

And having all this new found time on my hands I decided to get to a pleasant relaxing calming job that Hubby was not interested in that of watching two movies that I had chosen Humble Pie and The Wronged Man, which he actually watched part of while checking our chicken cooking on the barbecue. Both movies were quite different and both of a quality that was quite incredible in many different aspects, one was a fictional story and the other was based on a true one. I would give you a synopsis but that would ruin the stories for you! But I do recommend both.

On that note of peeked interest, I hope that you will count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
