Running Errands

Three biggies yesterday.

Clinic.  Almost three hours to pick up drugs.  Lesson learned:  Make appointment for anything medical.  Does it really take that long to pick four teeny containers from a shelf and add a sign in sheet to a clip board?  This comes under the category beggars can't be choosers.  I ask why not?

Library.  By now the wind has kicked up considerably.  I am a big fan of breezes.  Use caution when cane dependent is a mild warning.  Poor old leg was screaming in more than usual agony.  Reward?  A book  (Am I allowed to use the word "tome"?  I've always wanted to.) I've had on hold for almost three months.  Yippee!

Big Box.  A lady, who I have deemed ker-a zee, went off on me in the parking lot.  By this time I am at least an hour and a half overdue for pain meds and I am fighting back tears.  A voice screams out:  You should have a wheelchair!  Why don't you have a wheelchair?!  Before I can begin the condensed parking lot friendly response she continues:  You have no business in a public place if that's as fast as you can go! 

Yikes!  I'm not sure if I personally offended her or if she just loathes the disabled in some general sense.  Hurrying up is not an option for me.  I kept my head low and mumbled:  I hope you never get old.  This is where she proved up on my diagnosis of nuts-oh:  OLD!  Did you hear that?  That fat fart is calling me old!  The nerve of some people!!

Indeed.
