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

You be careful out driving in the rain. You're a brave soul.
