A day where I would think a "snow day" and not venture too far out...I get up and go to church. As 3 inches of ice crystals accumulate while in service...I just think I can drive...slowly...but drive in a very icky mess. It's not so much on how I drive but the other idots that are out on the road with me! Do I drive straight home...no...I'm on a mission...not so impossible but just a mission...a bad choice...but just the same. Sliding through the store parking lot. I pick a spot that doens't have any cars around...protect my bumpers no need to park on top of another car. I think about why I'm there. I idle for a few minutes with the heater going full blast...windshield wippers squeaking on a timer...it's time to leave the warmth of my car seat. I cross the icy lot (with heals not sensible shoes) with extreme care. Make it into the store...been there so many times I know exactly where I'm headed...there's hardly anyone in there (duh) and all I hear is the click of my heals on the concret floor as I walk with a purpose down the isle to the specific spot with great inticipation...but wait...what I want isn't there. Destiny...as I turn away from the hanging board and walk back towards my car. Now what...idlng with the heater back on...some how I managed into another parking lot...not happy I have to go in there...or do I. Purpose driven mission...how can I change my mindset....I can hear the voices of everyone one who really knows me and where I'm headed but I'm stubborn...I have the other voice telling me to get out of the car and go in. I tracked again into the store with the same concret floor and the click of the heals....I know where to go in this store as well. Not that I don't like this brand but I have a favorite type...a specific type of head, handle, pounds...I quickly look over the hanging boards and again....major disappointment...why...maybe its a sign...turn and walk away....just turn and walk away...just can't...bingo found what I was looking for on the bottom shelf.
I can't imagine what the cashier is thinking about my purchase in a place where I would be out of place on a normal day but today isn't normal. I pay and she replys with a smile "Have a nice day"...If only she knew the true purpose of being there.
