I took my car to get serviced at the dealership near the giant Target and the mall today. I was actually kind of excited to have a couple-hour stretch to kill at both places. But quickly I realized I didn’t actually want to spend several hours at Target and the mall.
It’s so weird how sometimes I’m really in the mood to hit up Target and get a few things. And sometimes I’m really… not. I thought that since I’m about to do a bunch of traveling I’d find quite a bit to put in my basket but I didn’t. I just couldn’t think of anything I, or my kids, wanted.
Still manage to spend $80 though.
I had to walk up to the mall a weird way and I passed this Starbucks that looks like a bank. It wonder if it was a bank but Starbucks took it over.
At the mall I was surprised that the Macy’s was still open. I swore it had closed, but a woman at the door told me it the Macy’s at Stonestown that closed. I guess I confused them.
I have my book and my reading glasses and I found a spot to sit that is away from the foot traffic. I guess I’ll start reading. I have to kill another hour before I can walk back down to the dealership.
When everything has been flooding at race speed all the time it is hard to hit a still silent break, the transition takes time. More than most expect it to take.
But any time of quiet breathing is helpful over time. Resetting your body pressure valves and rest zones is really important. Glad you can start this prior to Midwest so you de-jangle and will be better able to absorb the joys of reunions.
