Shopping

Today I spent hours finishing up Christmas shopping. It was the first time in 20 years I could do this on a week day, during the day. It was nice. People were happy, smiling. I saw a lot of school age children. I never knew so many kids were homeschooled. I was able to get what I needed without standing in lines and most importantly without being dead dog tired from a full day of teaching school. The sad part of my day was I was alone. All my friends still work and shopping is not as much fun without a friend.
