Couldn&#8217;t find the item. \u00a0Boo. We asked for help. \u00a0Fortunately, our helper knew where said item was located and we were able to get out of the toy department pretty fast.<\/p>\n<p>Automotive.<\/p>\n<p>They had the first oil filter but not the second. \u00a0Had to look up the substitute. \u00a0No big deal. \u00a0Then MFH decided to compare motor oils. \u00a0UGH. \u00a0My good leg was getting very, very tired as were my arms.<\/p>\n<p>MFH finally decided upon a motor oil. \u00a010 gallons of motor oil and we were off to checkout! \u00a0YAY for checkout.<\/p>\n<p>I think we got in the slowest checkout lane in the store. \u00a0Man, oh man. \u00a0There was only one lady ahead of us, all her items were on the counter, and still it took over 15 minutes for the checkout lady to get the items scanned! Wowza! \u00a0That was slow!!!<\/p>\n<p>The checkout lady was a very nice lady, do not get me wrong. \u00a0She just had to have a running commentary on every. single. item. you purchased. \u00a0Like I said, nice lady, just not too terribly efficient. \u00a0Not someone to put on the express checkout lane \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We were able to get our shopping done in 45 min or so. \u00a0Probably closer to an hour with the checkout.<\/p>\n<p>It was an experience, let me tell you. \u00a0People went out of their way to be nice to me. \u00a0That was a different feeling. \u00a0It was like the parting of the Red Sea in the Bible when I would come down an isle. \u00a0I felt bad making people think that they had to move just for me&#8230;but it was very nice of them all the same.<\/p>\n<p>Today, my arms and my good leg are very tired. \u00a0I am going to &#8220;walk&#8221; the dog. That means, having MFH hold onto the dog with me tagging along behind. \u00a0That will be today&#8217;s exercise. \u00a0No uber long shopping trips today. \u00a0That was enough for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Run: \u00a0Crutches&#8230; I had shopping that needed to be done. \u00a0Shopping that could only be done at WalMart. \u00a0I am still on crutches. \u00a0What to do&#8230;Go Shopping!!!
