We had something to do today which was cancelled, maybe because of impending storms. I said to Tommy, "Why don't we go to the car place and look at cars?" After we finally figured out where I was talking about, we went there.
As we were talking to saleswoman, she asked if we were interested in a hybrid I said no as Tommy said yes. I was shocked. So, we tried a hybrid. Well, I test it for ease of entry and if it hurts my back.
There were brilliant blue like we wanted, new cars. Tommy was willing to buy that for me! I want a light car for safety reasons. I said wistfully that I wished they were pink. She said I could 'wrap' it. Like Saran Wrap?
Is this wrapping sturdy? I never heard of it.
She said to come back tomorrow and they would get one like we wanted. I think we cannot buy a newer car since the seat backs have changed.
This woman was doing a good job helping us. She was black, but when she went back inside for something, a very stern-looking black man came back out with her. He was looking very stern. He quickly came and leaned on the window on passenger side and said, "Now, what is it you are looking for? I looked him dead in the eye without a bit of friendliness in my demeanor and said, "We have already told her what we want. She knows, and she is doing a very good job helping us." He said he was just trying to help her. I said something to the effect that it did not appear she needed any help. Finally, he asked her what we wanted. He treated her so nasty. I told her I hated he talked down to her. She said the guys in there always treated her that way.
I told her she should get some fuzzy slippers instead of the heels she was wearing. She said she was required to wear heels, and bitterly said the guys could wear sneakers. I would hate to be in the workforce this day and age. Flat shoes are okay for teachers and researchers, thankfully. My neighbor had to wear a longline bra and a girdle and heels and hose to teach first grade! She taught 80 years ago.
We came home after picking up bread bogo at Publix. Shopping for cars is exhausting.
We tried to pick up a prescription for me, but it was not ready for the third day. Finally, after returning and sitting in line for over 45 minutes, we got both. There were only two people/cars ahead of us. Eventually, there were 8 behind and 5 of them left. This was the cream for me to rub on my endometriosis. NOT Thankfully, there were directions on the tube.
Chances are great we will have an outbreak of tornadoes. I will sleep here in my chair in the living room until I cannot sleep. I would hate to lose all my possessions again. The tree in the backyard will come down in the wind one day. It is so weak and large that it would come through my bedroom in the front of the house. Yikes. Lights are in place. We both have our chargers on our chairs. We won't be stuck in the reclining position...lol.
Tommy went into the kitchen to get his dinner as I wanted none. After 30 minutes and little noise, I went there to see what was happening. He was making a pizza! I had bought a package of three pizza crusts on sale. He said he could not make pizza because he had no pizza pan. I do think there are round pizza pans, but he was having none of it. I told him the crust would work on the big rectangular pan, and if it did not, just fold up two of the sides.
Finally, today, I told him to remember the crusts, the pizza sauce, cheese, and the hamburger meat he had cooked. And that he could put anything on it that he wanted. So, he was making pizza. He got a huge salad and looked happy. I wonder why he pushes so about some simple things.
At this point, we are watching the weather for a possible tornado. The wind made it hard to walk up the ramp, but the wind is down now.
Are you in danger of violent weather according to the television?
Yes, the storms are supposed to come thru here too, but I hope they don’t. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteYou stay safe, too.
I'm sorry to hear that car saleswoman is being treated so badly at her job. She probably really needs the employment. At least you gave that manager a bit of crap for his unwanted efforts.
ReplyDeleteLinda, why did you wait all that time to pick up a prescription that you didn't need? That prescription was a mistake by the pharmacy. You are not obligated to pick up/pay for erroneous prescriptions. They re-shelve it if you don't take it.
I'm glad Tommy is having fun making pizza. Was it any good?
No violent weather predicted here, thankfully. It's overcast and a bit cooler today. Probably a great day to plant some sweet peas...
Sue,
DeleteI told her I was glad to have a female to help me. She said guys were always so pushy.
Since the person telling me it was a cream to rub on endometriosis, I thought maybe she was totally mistaken about what it was!
It was good enough I ate the whole piece, not spectacular. He ate two pieces and seemed happy.
We still have electricity, and it's very windy. Tommy said the violent weather went north of us. However, wind can still take out power lines if a tree falls in the right place. Maybe you can get planting done.
