This Friday we sort of, went Christmas shopping together.
Colleen likes to wait until the last minute to shop. I guess she works better under pressure. My goal is to be finished by Thanksgiving, which I rarely attain. I feel I can enjoy the season better without the pressure. So, I kept Colleen company on the phone while she shopped and I wrapped Christmas presents. I had been putting it off and talking with Colleen made it go by fast. It was we would have done except, I would have been in the car and we would have stopped somewhere to have a nice lunch. It’s funny how things you put off go so much faster when you do them with friends.
While in Target Colleen had realized that she forgot her mask and had to run out to the car. Now I’m wondering if I was judging the woman at the Quikchek in the previous blog, too harshly. Maybe she too had forgotten. Maybe she was smiling because she felt stupid. I’m sure Colleen was smiling when she came out of Target. We often color our opinions of other people by past experiences or our own view of the world. A liar will often question you because they know they do it, so you must do it too. A cheater often is the same way. They will ask you over and over who you were with, even if there is no evidence. I guess I have been watching too much of the news, where people are openly not wearing masks. I hope that is the case, I’m tired of the all fighting and name-calling. I would think this virus would’ve brought us together. A common enemy we need to get rid of. Brought back our sense of community. I think our future depends on it.
Friday is Funday
