Mundane can be tame....


And sublime is just fine…but…practicality is reality. That is why some days we just do whatever we need to do and than it all gets done! No news here… I hear you yelling! Well, not really, but if I could, you would be, hmm? Sure you would be. Wait… uneventful can be rather interesting too…or not… it’s all in the way you tell it or embellish it…true? Which brings me full circle with what we did today; we went grocery shopping while the world mounted a rush into the malls! Actually, some also went to the grocery, since there was not a handicap parking spot to be had. But this time with our placard displayed way out in OSHCOSH no one parked on either side of our motorized chariot! Since until we figure out the logistics of me going with Hubby into the store in the wheelchair and a shopping cart and so I was on my scooter; apparently, my eyesight behaved as long as people kept their distance and they did and my thumb, the one Basilar arthritis needing surgery and keeping me up at night with my shoulders all were good in the sense of not causing me trouble for the hour it took to complete the task. Decency reins and so did politeness with excuse-me throughout the store, by the customers and helpful employees without attitude, only smiling ones; oh how I do love going into OUR PUBLIX grocery store. We were out of most everything and with it being the first of the month everyone in our age group understands our payday. Of course with the pension in yesterday I paid most of the bills and today our social security checks automatically deposited early too, which I set aside for the other bills for the rest of the month to be paid! Who knows how long this will be going on… with that FISCAL CLIFF looming down to the wire… it gives me chills and not the good kind. Sorry, to speak of doom and gloom but with out our additional paid into income we will be falling off a financial cliff like many others…in our situation. Not the closing I desired for tonight but also not as mundane as it might seem to some either…any-who allow me to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear? PS NOW THE WESTERN PART of our country has to deal with severe weather, pray for all of them, and of course our friends up north who are still dealing with Sandy’s aftermath…so sad.
