The day after Thanksgiving is known in retail as "Black Friday", the busiest shopping day of the year. Since I am "disabled", it was a quiet day for me. I watched live news reports on TV from regional shopping centers, where shoppers were circling the parking lots like vultures, looking for an open parking space.Funny thing. I thought that I would hear from a friend who wanted to take me shopping today, in order to make use of my handicapped placard, but I guess she had to work. In retrospect, I should've sent out an email about it. Not to make any money from it; just to get out of the house. I am thankful for my friends who offer to pick me up and go to places. They save me from what would a very boring existence.
It was a very quiet day and I had very little to do, other than my usual therapy exercises. The placard doesn't expire until June 30, 2009, so I'll plan a little better next year.
