WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!

TODAY, FRIDAY THE 18TH OF DECEMBER. A DAY TO REMEMBER. WE HAVE NOT HAD SUCH A DAY SINCE HURRICANE WILMER.
I HAD A THERAPY APPOINTMENT THIS AM AT 10. IT WAS POURING. I PUSHED MY NEW WALKER THROUGH LITTLE LAKES TO THE OFFICE. WHEN I LEFT AN HOUR LATER, IT WAS POURING HARDER. THE OFFICE CLERK WALKED ME OUT SO I COULD GET THE DAMN WALKER IN THE CAR..I HAD TO GO TO THE BROWARD MALL, A 15 MINUTE TRIP..LOL. IT TOOK ME CLOSE TO 40 MINUTES. THE TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL. BUMPER TO BUMPER, EVERYBODY GOING VERY SLOW.(NOT A USUAL THING HERE). I CIRCLED NEAR THE ENTRANCE I WANTED FOR A HANDICAP SPOT..NONE. PEOPLE WERE HUDDLED IN THE LOBBY WAITING FOR A BREAK TO RUN OUT TO THEIR CAR. SO I PARKED AND WAITED ALSO. A HALF HOUR OR SO LATER I LITTLE LET UP..I DROVE AGAIN TO THE HANDICAP LANE. AH..A SPOT..#2OFF THE CORNER. REALLY CLOSE. I GOT IT. NOW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR..GET THE WALKER CAUSE I DIDN'T DARE GO WITHOUT IT..I WALKED TO THE ENTRANCE THROUGH A RIVER..REALLY, MY SOCKS GOT WET..OH WELL. DID MY BUSINESS AND LEFT THE STORE..NO WAY TO LEAVE THE BUILDING NOW..COULD HARDLY SEE MY CAR THROUGH THE RAIN. SO I SAT FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR.. MET A NICE WOMAN FROM LONDON..LOL...IT LET UP SOME AND EVERYBODY RACED TO THE PARKING LOT. I GOT TO MY CAR IN A DEEPER RIVER THAN BEFORE..OH WELL. THE UMBRELLA WAS A TOTAL NO-NO. SOAKED I WAS..NOW, I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES, I KNOW A WAY OUT. I HEADED THAT WAY. THE CARS COMING IN THAT ENTRANCE HAD THERE GRILLS COVERED ALMOST UP TO THEIR HOODS. OH NO, NOT ME..I MAKE A TURN, CARS ARE DRIVING WILDLY THOROUGH THE LOT. ME TOO.. IT WAS SOOOOOO DEEP.....I DID AVOID IT. WE HAD BIRDS BATHING IN THE PUDDLES!!!!, I FOUND A WAY OUT, GOING THE WRONG WAY FROM MY HOME..WAS ABLE TO U-TURN LATER. BUMPER TO BUMPER AGAIN, ONLY WORSE..I WAS 15 MIN FROM HOME..TOOK ME ALMOST AN HOUR... YIKES WHAT A DAY. THEY HAD WORST WEATHER DOWN IN MIAMI, TORNADO WARNINGS. THEY FLOOD MORE THAN WE DO, AS WE ARE BUILT ON ROCK....THUS- FEW SEWERS.. HEY, I HEARD THE NEWS AND THEY SAID SNOW UP NORTH...FUNNY DAY IT WAS...SEE YA

YEP, FUN AND GAMES..I DONT REMEMBER IF I TOLD U ABOUT THE THREE FALLS I HAD TAKEN..UGH..THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I HAD TO HAVE CORTISONE SHOTS IN THE KNEE. AND NOW I GO FOR THERAPY 3X A WEEK. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE GYM (MY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE AWAY FROM HERE) SINCE ABOUT A MONTH OR MORE ALREADY. TO PAST THE TIME I HAVE JUST READ A GREAT BOOK..IF U ARE A STEPHEN KING FAN OR JUST LIKE A GREAT PAGE TURNER/AND READ 20 HOURS A DAY..TRY HIS NEW ONE..ITS 1,075 PAGES AND IS LARGER THAN UR TELEPHONE BOOK. LOL.."UNDER THE DOME". TRY IT, IF U DONT LIKE IT..WELLLLL... TODAY AS I CAME BACK FROM THE LIBRARY, THERE WAS A CROWD IN FRONT OF MY BUILDING..NOWADAYS I TRY TO STAY AWAY. I AM USING A WALKER SO I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE..SEEMS OUR "CAPTAIN" OF THE BUILDING HAD PUT UP HER USUAL DISPLAY OF X-MAS DECOR AND HANUKKA STUFF...SHE DOES THIS FOR EVERY HOLIDAY..AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING IT WAS VOTED THAT NO SUCH DISPLAYS WILL BE ALLOWED. (BECAUSE OF HER). SO SHE WAS HOLDING COURT OUT FRONT, HER GRANDSONS WERE SERVING SODA, BEACH CHAIRS WERE ALL AROUND THE PARKING LOT (ALSO A NO-NO) AND HER OTHER GRANDSON WAS RIDING HER CAR AROUND.(HE HAS NO LICENSE). I HID...SOMEBODY TOLD ME LATER THAT THE POLICE CAME AND MADE HER TAKE THE STUFF DOWN AGAIN...LOL..LOL...SHE SAYS SHE WILL NOW PUT IN A FLAG POLE FOR THE AMERICAN FLAG (ALLOWED) AND SPOT LIGHTS TO SHINE ON IT (NOT ALLOWED)...I AM STARTING TO LIKE THIS PLACE. IT IS FINALLY COMING TO LIFE..WE ARE ALL SENIORS.. SO EVERYBODY...HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY. AND I WILL,SEE YA....
