Are You Honking at Me?

 We had a wonderful day. Everything went right and all interactions were positive. Then, we went to Publix to buy from the current ad. We were sitting waiting for an older woman to exit a handicapped parking space.

I kept hearing someone honk behind us. I asked Tommy why the person was honking. He said he wanted us to move. Tommy rolled down his window to tell the guy we were waiting on the woman to leave so we could park. That was a bad mistake. The guy let loose with profanity. Then, the guy just laid down on his horn. Tommy was hurrying to leave when I told him to stay there. We did. 

The lady finally moved and we parked. I opened the door and put my feet out, waiting on the guy with the electric cart. I looked back at the guy who was behind us, waiting to turn. He opened his window and screamed loudly, "Why are you looking at me?" "Just wondering who was so upset and honking at us." He started cursing me. A guy, maybe 40, yelled at him that he was also holding up traffic, "Old man, shut up, get out of here." 

The elderly guy in a huge truck, floored it and raced off, driving way too fast in the parking lot. In the store I happened to see the guy who spoke to him and thanked him. He had more to say about how ridiculous the old guy was. 

The store was packed, everyone going wild, it seemed. It will be this way until Thanksgiving Eve. 

Shopping was good. 

Are the crazies out where you live? Another time I will tell you about a woman followed me about a store yelling at me. I had not said a word to her, but I was wrong, apparently.

PT and Honking

 Today, I had my first therapy session for my back. I went to ortho doctor about my right shoulder, hip, and knee. I am not sure why since I only mentioned the back problem when talking about walking with pain. 

So, I told therapist I was not going to have any back manipulation. She agreed. Lack of balance is bigger problem. It was a good session with work on balance. She gave me a printout of the exercises so I could do them at home. She approved of the grounding mat and my Legxercise pedals.

When I hear someone honk near us, I immediately ask Tommy who is honking? Are they honking at us? What is happening? He gets mad at my questions. 

I grew up in Memphis where honking was banned except in a serious situation. There was no honking at friends, honking because a person did not go soon enough after a light changed. Memphis was a quiet city. 

When we moved to Cullman, we lived a block from a hospital where signs were posted for no honking. Even ambulances had to shut off any sirens. I lived there for 50 years. So, honking alarms me. Plus, I wonder what Tommy did to cause honking, not that he was wrong. 

Afteer my therapy we collected the ads from all three stores. Tommy will make lists tonight. I wonder what will be bogo or otherwise on sale. Of course, the ad will go through Wednesday instead of through Tuesday.
