A-Malling We Shall Go
Keep in mind here that right now I'm running on about empty, having given plasma yesterday, worked out last night, not gotten enough sleep, slept in a position other than my usual comfortable one, and not gotten a proper breakfast.
In the face of all this, I decide that going on the mass Temple trip to Wally's is a bright idea.
Right.
We stopped at the dollar store on 19th & Northern first, and by the time we were through there, I was exhausted and walking slowly. I was dragging by the time we got to the mall, and after finding Darkside's Christmas gift (mmm... black... shiny... see-through... dragons... sparkly dragons...) and helping Votania and Marx sort through pins for Votania's hat, and looking at craft supplies, I needed to sit down. Now.
There was fortunately a bench in the department, so I could.
After a little old lady had a seizure (she was with family, who knew that this was normal and what to do about it) we dragged on. Marx walks very fast.
By the time we were out of there, I was on the verge of a panic attack. We made it to the bus stop, after I realized that there were three primary reasons why thoughtless silliness bothers me so extensively: first, it's contagious, and I don't like myself that way and neither do other people; second, it's a Shawn thing; third, it's contagious to the younger set and I don't want to have to deal with it there either. Votania had a check to deposit, and popped into the bank. The bus got there before she got out, so we got home first. Fortunately someone vacated their seat for me, as I was falling-over tired.
Note: that dollar store has some really cool and pretty little ceramic boxes. Get.
