Am I losing it?

Well, so far no hot flashes. However, I almost had a meltdown at Kohl's last Saturday. I am not a big shopper. I like to go into a store, find what I need, and move on. It was very busy on Saturday because they had some good sales - plus I had coupons for an additional 20% off so I had to get something! But if you know me, you know how well I handle crowded stores. So I was a bit tense to begin with.

After about 1.5 hours, I had my little cart filled with clothes to try on. On my way to the dressing room, I quickly made a stop to look at a vest. I was only away from my cart for 2-3 minutes and when I came back it was gone! I looked everywhere. I KNEW I left it right there by the striped sweaters - but it was no where to be seen. Then I started flipping out - maybe my memory is already fading. Then I started to feel like I was getting a hot flash. It was so hot in that dumb store. Why did that woman just run right into me!? And where was my cart! I'm losing my mind!

After wandering around, looking quite flustered I'm sure, I gave up on my cart. I found most of the items I was missing - my size mysteriously on the top of each pile. I guess those Kohl's workers don't take too kindly to unattended carts. Lesson learned.

On another note, happy 75th birthday Mom! I love you more than words can say.
