got lost

7/18/07 Wednesday
Just got back from Sam’s Club. Had to stop by Steve and Janie’s because we left my keys there last night. After that I had a list from Cherie of three things to get at Sam’s plus a vacuum filter. I also wanted to get some stain and polyurethane for the kitchen cabinets so I stopped at Lowe’s to price it. Then I forgot Sam’s was right down the road and went to Home Depot instead. After getting the stain and finish I remembered I needed to go to Sam’s so turned around and went. I haven’t been to Sam’s very often at all and I don’t think I ever went there by myself, always had Cherie with me. There were only three things on the list but it’s a huge place. I got what was on the list and then headed for a register. The one I got in had a problem with the people in front so I had to wait till a manager came by. I was slowing down by now, one of the slowdowns triggered by too much information. Getting things paid for I left. Nothing looked familiar. It was all strange like I had never been there before. I had a hard time making my way out of the parking lot and then figuring out which way was home. I saw a sign for loop 250 but it said north and that further confused me. Cherie returned my call just then so I told her I was lost. This has happened before so she understood. I saw Lowe’s and was able to get my bearings. Cherie suggested I stop and get something for lunch and that helped me settle out some. Now I am home and will take a nap.
