Well, my dauther's drivin' down from the big city today. I got up to start my coffee pot, and the switch jest wouldn't turn on. It has been actin' goofy since Thanksgiving--Thought it wouldn't turn on then, but I found that I could kinda beat on it 'til it did. Yesteday mornin' I went to turn it off before I went to work, and it was already off. Thought maybe it was the automatic turn-off, but guess it finally died. This mornin' I beat on it with everything I could find, to no avail. So once more, I made a trip to the local Walmart. I thought I could get by without going there again this week. Well, I parked, went straight to the coffee pots, then thought about that my daughter really likes baked sweet potatoes. Of course, they were on the opposite side of the store. Then I remembered something else--back to the other side.
Still no coffee. Not in the mood for this.
So, I checked out in the self-check aisle to save time, but of course one of my items wasn't recognized. I don't know how many times that computer voice told me, "Wait for store attendant." Funny thing, the same computer voice was talking to two more people, one behind me and one beside me. She'd come on mine, then behind me, then beside me, then start over again. I may start hearing like voices in my head.
Still no coffee. Not in the mood for this.
So, the store attendant finally got to me. Of course, there were three of us who were stuck and she got me last.
Still no coffee. Not in the mood for this.
Then to the parking lot. Funny how when you go to a store several days in a row, you sometimes think you're parked where you parked yesterday instead of where you parked today. So I wandered around the parking lot with my coffee pot and my sack, looking for my car.
Still no coffee. Not in the mood for this!!
But guess what. I've had my coffee, and I feel much better now.
By the way, there's a sign on the doors on the "stuff side" (not the groc'ry side) on the door at my Walmart that reads "Store Open 24 Hours," but there's another one down below it that says, "This door locked after hours. Use door on grocery side." I've never really understood this . . .
