We braved the mall today. It was…not terrible, but we’re both completely worn out. What is it about shopping that takes so much out of people? It wasn’t that much walking, and it wasn’t that crowded. Maybe it’s about the decisions? We spent entirely too long in one store, considering a couple of ideas, and then we spent even longer in Clarks, trying on too many shoes. (They actually had some shoes in John’s size (almost – not wide enough).) After that, there was one more particular thing I was looking for (an idea of a thing), and we got to the point where I’d see a likely store, cruise through it in 30 seconds or fewer, and walk right back out – not the right place, they don’t have the thing. When I found that I wasn’t even looking around anymore, we knew we’d had enough. But then we had to walk back through the entire mall to find where we parked the car. There’s something weird about the layout of that place. It makes zero sense to me.
This post is not making that much sense to me, either. Better publish quick before I think about it too much! (That is not how this is supposed to work…)
