Veteran's Day

I believe I promised a Veteran's Day story. I have a feeling I'm about to lose the two readers I have because my story sucks. But here goes...

My dad worked for the State of MI for a long time. State employees get all the federal holidays off of work. He and my mom always used that day to go Christmas shopping. So I would sit in school all day with a big ass grin on my face dreaming of all the gifts they were buying for me. I am pretty sure I was the only kid excited about Veteran's Day for all the wrong reasons. Reason.

Apologies for the big buildup and letdown. What big holiday is next... Thanksgiving. I don't have any stories for that. None. Zero. Zip.

I'm getting A's in both of my classes right now.

I'm going to church in Kalamazoo tomorrow. It starts at 9:45 in the AM. Right now it is 11:15 in the PM and I am in Detroit.

On Wednesday I had to go to Ann Arbor to pick up my prescription for my schedule II drug and I stopped at the grocery store that sells my favorite bloody mary mix. They don't sell it anymore. Oh the horror. I looked at buying a case of it online but decided to wait. Today I was at Meijer in Roseville and found they now sell my second favorite bloody mary mix. Rejoice! I bought three bottles of it which was a good idea since after lunch there are only two bottles left. I shared with Jesse and my brother-in-law, Jon.

Thursday afternoon I witnessed a white man who looked to be in his late 30's or early 40's tapdancing in the office supply aisle at Costco. And then on my way home I had a migraine and had to pull my car over in the WalMart parking lot to puke. Take that, Walmart!!

Also on Thursday afternoon, the Comcast man stopped by to deliver the DVR we ordered. Because I had a migraine I had taken my "medicine" and I think he knew I was out of it. So embarrassing but whatever, he was probably jealous. I didn't share with him.

Good night.
