I used "bruised" as a generic term for a boo boo.
When I picture a shopping cart running into someone's heel I imagine broken skin actually not a bruise per se.

Feeling better since I got home.

I thought for sure I would be robbed in Walmart parking lot tonight at 11:30 p.m.

I was exiting Walmart with a huge buggy of groceries. My truck was sitting alone ... four empty rows on both sides of it. I unlocked and opened both doors on the driver side and had put one bag in the back when a mid size late model sports car came very quickly, pulled up so their driver side door was facing mine. All the windows had dark tint. First I turned, faced the car with my hands on my hips and glared at the car for about thirty seconds. Next, I took my shotgun out of a tube thru the suicide door, turned it upside down, gazed in the well and racked it, making certain the person in that car so close was the only one who could see what I was doing. Put it on the front seat in easy reach at a good grab angle if I needed it ... went back to unloading groceries which took a good fifteen minutes. The car did not move even after I drove away.

I don't know. Perhaps I read this situation incorrectly and over-reacted or maybe I didn't.

Thinking on the drive home ... if it was innocent, any decent person would have driven away after they saw me alarmed enough to pull out a shotgun and rack it.

Funny thing, it had no shells in it. I never carry a loaded shotgun in the truck. It goes totally against my safety and comfort level. Too many accidental discharges happen with these type firearms. I did slip shells into my jacket pocket when I removed it from the tube. If necessary, I could have easily loaded a couple of shells as I pulled it off the front seat.

It is a fact, parking lot robberies increase around Christmas time.

Everyone, please be aware of your perimeters when you are out and about this time of year. Pay close attention!

Sad that some people will become a statistic.

I feel anticipatory. :glasses:

Anxious

Run down but I know why

I feel as if I were being "tortured" while Im receiving pictures of sweet goods to which I have not access...
yet...
Happy Holidays!

I feel excited and appreciative. :goodscore:

Feeling
 

Beyond happy.

:cowboy:

Good. Bought the last of the velvet pumpkins from Ralphs. So adorable, ridiculously inexpensive, and will make nice gifts.

:pursebee:

I saw the pics you posted of these. They are so cool looking...and getting a good deal on them is even better.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!

I feel pretty damn good and truly realizing how blessed I am to have the people in My life that I do.

I’m tellin’ ya ... I made out like a bandit. I was worried they’d be gone when I went back, but no one touched them. Lucky me.

Thanks for the good wishes, Reach. :)

Hoping yours was filled with joy.

Feeling chilly. Guess I could turn up the heat?

Feeling proud of my daughter for passing her driving test this morning.

Feeling terrified about my daughter passing her driving test this morning.

Feeling like I need a nap.

Feeling like I need to rally before 2pm appointment with trainer at gym.

Drugged. I can't believe people pay ridiculous amounts of money and risk prosecution to experience life in slow motion/feel like this.

I feel very glad that I went to the gym today.

My arms and legs feel like Jello.

What are you thinking about doing? The search process can suck but it can pay off if things line up right for you!

The process does suck especially in this day and age!

I have great faith you can manifest exactly what you want, it worked once right?!

It sure did. I should be happy where I am, but I’m just not. I am trying to be grateful but also want to upgrade my employer. I saw the job posting for this position and I knew I would get it. It was mine. Perfect location and hours. It just hasn’t fallen into place and it should have by now.

Mentally and physically exhausted.

I wasn't supposed to work today but I went in for a few hours to catch up before the weekend since I'd been out all week for the holidays.

2 hours after I got in our street was filled with police and K-9 unit and state troopers and other trucks I couldn't name. Police hiding behind cars with guns drawn, dogs everywhere, sirens everywhere. I put our building on lockdown and called police to see what on earth was going on. All they could tell me was there was a "situation" at the church a block up the road. I asked if we should be on lockdown, they couldn't tell me. I asked if there was a person at large to watch for, they couldn't tell me. It was another 2 1/2 hours before we would know there was a bomb threat with a person saying they had an AR-15 ready to shoot any police who came.

We put the child care children into shelter in place in one room in the basement. I ran around the upper floors putting all the residents who were home to shelter in place in another location up there. All while remaining calm to not freak out children and adult residents more than they already were. Then it was just watching and waiting. Quiet inside, sirens and chaos outside.

News hardly reporting anything other than heavy police presence.

Eventually, hours later, the pastor at the church was able to say that their surveillance cameras didn't show anyone entering or leaving the church and that it must have been a false alarm. But they weren't saying anything about police actually having searched the church physically, so we waited longer.

Eventually all but two police cars left the scene. Roads were still closed. But we got parents to get their children from the daycare and we got the residents of our buildings out of shelter and went into an uncomfortable space of more waiting.

But we're clear now, though I still don't know what happened. At least I'm home and it seems the danger has been cleared. My spouse brought me home CBD infused tea and whiskey which I will partake in shortly. That will help settle my nerves. Spouse is driving my daughter to a party and picking her back up after so I don't have to be responsible for that. I need to just decompress.

I am feeling really good- better than good. I am also really looking forward to 2019!!

Good. Looking out my newly washed windows. Had someone wash them yesterday. He did a very good job (cleaned screens and tracks) at a really low price. He broke the screen handle to close the screen, but went to home-depot bought a new handle and fixed it.

So, I’m doing good and am a happy camper.

:pursebee:

Feeling
 

I feel exhausted from moving my mom's stuff around.

The excitement of my new lady has worn off under the weight of my current situation.

Oh how I miss my independence.

dee feeling nutty ? lololol :blush:

I kind of slept through Jan. 1 till this afternoon.
This new year is so welcome, I'm afraid to jinx it with words. I want my life back--the one where I didn't need to be hyper vigilant every morning to make sure trump didn't get us blown up.
2019 has to better--2018 sucked all the joy out of life. :fastdraq:

Pretty tired but pushing through the pain and tiredness.
