Friday

EVERYTHING TAKES LONGER IN FLORIDA

Before I go out for the day I sit down and make a list of what I want to accomplish that day.

For example yesterday my list was as follows:
Get tire repaired ( had a flat the other day )
Go to Flea Market (haven't been there since I came down to Florida)
Go to new Dress Shop in town (I have a 10% coupon)
Go to the Bank (need cash)
Go to the supermarket (even though I eat out a lot still need milk, etc.)
Go to library (wanted to pick up some books and also see what programs they will be having in January).
After I got the flat fixed did some rethinking. I know how busy the stores can be so I said, "first things first", get money and food, then see what time I have left, and proceed from there.

When I got to the mall, where the bank and market are, it took my some time until I got a parking space.

When I finally got into the bank there were only four people in line and one teller.

It didn't look bad BUT the customer that was being waited on must have had a million dollars worth of business to conduct because she was there forever!

The manager came by and explained that one teller was out with the flu and the other teller was out to lunch. It took me one half hour before I got waited on.

Next stop was the supermarket, which didn't look too bad at first, but when I approached the deli counter it was very busy and for some reason the help is VERY SLOW. They talk slow, walk slow and slice slow!

After all that I decided to call it a day.

At the rate I am going it will probably take me a week of Sundays to get the rest of my list done.

Such is life in sunny Florida.
