SHOPPING
I get overwhelmed in big stores. I first noticed this back when I was in college and several of us went to the "huge" mall in Fort Wayne to shop for Christmas gifts. This is when I first went into what I started calling my "mall daze". It usually kicks in now about 10 minutes before I get to the store. That is about an hour before it used to kick in. Part of the natural aging process I guess.

Now, whenever I go to a large store or mall, things just become a blur. I see people and things but I don't really process either. Everything just becomes like a long, noisy tunnel ... with a door at the end of it ... a door back out to my car and, ultimately, to home.

I did our family grocery shopping last evening. Usually either Lisa does it or, on rare occasion, we go together. But last night it was just me. The daze set in quickly.

But Lisa had done something amazing for me. She had made out a shopping list which was perfectly -- and I do mean, perfectly -- in order, start to finish, as I traversed my way through WalMart. I could not sooner do that than even make out a shopping list to begin with!

I am not sure how shes does that. I think that maybe someone from WalMart emails her whenever they move anything around.
