Most of my income from the craft show went towards paying off repair bills for my 20 year old car, but I decided to take a tiny amount & buy something fun. I was at a pet shop getting Rufus snackies & decided to go on up to the mall & buy a CD. When I was walking into Best Buy, an electronics store, I saw a row of tents to the left of the door. There's a sporting goods store next to it, but it seemed a weird time of year to have a sale on camping gear. Then I noticed a couple guys carrying bags of food & handing them to others. When I got inside the store, I asked a clerk about the tents & he said they were waiting for PlayStation 3 to go on sale the next morning. I wondered aloud how they could miss their jobs & schools and he said they must not have any life. For myself, I puzzled why I thought doing the same thing for concert tickets seemed more logical.
For months I've loved that song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. You might've heard the acoustic version on the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy', but I like the original one with all the music swelling in the middle of the song.It puts me into a wonderful dreamy trance. Finally I was able to get the CD "Eyes Open" & have been playing that song excessively. I've heard 2 others that are nice, so I'll probably like the rest of the album, but will wait til I'm sated on "Chasing Cars".
On Friday I was at the grocery store picking up some of the Thanksgiving supplies for my mom who is cooking the holiday dinner. She's supposed to go with my sister to choose the turkey, so I just wheeled past the turkey freezer. As I did so, one of the employees was filling it up & he was surrounded by a group of women of all ages. He could've felt like a rock star in the midst of them, except all of their attention was focused on the frozen turkeys. It reminded me of hyenas around a kill on the African veldt. He barely got out of the way before they dived into the bin, grabbing for which one they wanted. A half hour later I passed again on my way to the checkout & only an elderly man was there, rolling through the leftovers.
It's cold and rainy today in Cleveland. I need to go to the library, but will wait til a nicer day. Of course, it could rain all week & then I'd have to get wet anyways, but I'll think positive. There's been a lot of fog recently, but it hasn't gotten terribly cold since the beginning of the month, which is alright with me.
