I struggled and finally was ready to go for my dr's visit! Didn't feel well at all and was short of breath by the time I was in the little room where patients get checked out! The office gal asked me about Cliff as she weighed me and took my blood pressure (100/69) so kinda lower than usual! Well, being sentimental and tender hearted because of his death and Thanksgiving, I started crying! Then when dr took my oxygen count and pulse rate with the snapping clothespin...thing-a-ma jig they use! I was low at first but then climbed to the low 90's! I had to walk around the back and then I was up to 94...still lower than 96-98 but okay! When I told him that I wasn't just depressed about Cliff's passing, but feeling ill and with the holidays, and running out of my anti-depressants which I needed to refill, I guess he misunderstood that I was going to go and get them filled after seeing him, so what did he do but give me anti-depressant samples, which I can't take along with what I've been taking and had refilled! I told him no more pain pills, but didn't know what these pills were until at night when I was reading the papers that came with them!
I stopped for gas for the car, as gas was $2.38 or 39 a gal and my tank was half- full, but don't like to get down below a half-tank with winter weather coming! I heard the gal inside say that the pump was a credit card or pre-payment one, so in I went to ask about and take care of what the problem was, as I don't use credit cards or prepay ahead of time! Well the pump I was at was okay and she was talking to someone at another pump! I didn't notice the pump number on mine! Got and paid for $10.59 worth of gas and went on to Walmart to get my prescriptions refilled and do some shopping for food! Well there was so much Christmas stuff out and I don't go shopping very often and since I don't know what is going to happen by next Christmas, I decided to buy gifts for my own and for my sister and sister-in-law and others! I had a cart full by the time I had to get my groceries, but managed to fit the food items into the cart and make sure they wouldn't harm anything for Christmas giving!
I then went to pick up my meds and to check out! Got checked out (very, very tired from walking in this Super Store and my feet hurt), but got it done....and then using my new debit card (I've never had one before) I found out it wouldn't work and tried it many times with my pin numbers, but I hadn't called to have it activated.....sooo ended up using a credit card that I dislike to use very much....for it is through HSBC and they have been doing me terrible with their greediness and not always my fault, but don't care! I was going to cancel it and hadn't as yet, so actually this was a blessing in disguise to still be able to use it or I would have had to leave everything there and then go back when my debit card was activated! Praise God and Thank You, Jesus, for working that out for Your daughter, who is confused too many times!
Got my receipt and started to leave and lo and behold this terrible, terrible noise started all over the store....enough to burst babies, childrens and old peoples' eardrums! I hurried to get out as I didn't want the doors or store closed before I could leave! A So County policeman was talking on the phone and asked if anyone had called in a fire alarm, as they were going off like crazy! I left and don't know what happened after that! I loaded my car, went home and unloaded, hauled all the bags into family room and kitchen! Put the food items away and ate something, checked the Forum and then watched TV and relaxed for awhile....went to bed and slept pretty well until early, early morning...still was dark outside...went to bathroom and back to bed...slept some more and woke up before 8:30 am which is early for me to get up, but I did....now I'm on here and getting ready to pay some more bills....for life goes on until the Lord calls me Home!
Now, in all of this I remained as calm as I could....thanking everyone, including the doc, for helping me, as I had the store clerk and those waiting helping me! I kept apologising for holding up the line and for all the trouble the lady behind the register was having....they said that was okay and glad everything turned out okay! Do good, smile and the world will smile and do good to us! The check-out lady was not young....had white hair...but helped me load the bags into my cart!
What an emotional day and the Lord showing me and others how to be patient and kind to one another! I also said Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to the elderly man (71) ringing the Salvation Army kettle bell, as I put another $1.00 in, for I try to do that whenever I am there, but don't go often! He will be off on his birthday the middle of Dec and has served the Salvation Army at the kettles for 51 years! Reminded me of Cliff in away, as he was nice, tall and thin like him! I also spoke to a young boy and told him he sure looked a lot like my nephew Scott and another younger little girl riding in the cart.....smiling and waving my fingers at her, as she was trying to hand me a can she was holding! Wished the young boy, You have a Merry Christmas, okay!! His parents never did say anything to me!
Now, I know they aren't supposed to speak to strangers and they didn't but they knew I wasn't going to hurt them and I would never, never hurt or harm a precious child or adult unless they were trying to hurt or harm a child, others or me! I am a protector and a caretaker, so I love others in Jesus' holy name!
Sorry for a long post...but I'm gabby and since I don't have many to talk to....just Jesus and myself, I write too much unless I'm gabbing on the phone....ask Mike and pennies for they can tell you about that! 
God Bless! Ma Betty
