The last of my chores this morning was to go to
Whole foods to pick up some supplies. I wasn't thinking.

At 11am there were crowds of women shopping for the holidays, mothers with little kids and lists trying to find what they need with out loosing the kids.
Noise, ailses blocked with carts, long lines at the check out counters.

I fought my way through joining the crowd of pushy old ladies determined to squeeze through.

I was glad to get home.
