WK-2- Tuesday- I should have brought A Boat!

Hello Everyone,
After bringing my daughter to work this morning, I had to go to the doctor. Stopped at 7-11, no one was about. I would have gotten the guy that works there, but he does not get into such things.
I sat in the doctors office waiting for 1 1/2 hours. Only 5 people were sitting with me. I got 3 contacts out of 5. I decided after the doctor I would spend the day going park hopping with my little Pomeranian/Pekingese . Go from one to the next, looking for kids and moms, especially. Everyone loves my dog,so why not use him.
I got out of the doctor and it was not just raining, but buckets were falling. The streets were flooded. I walked about 7 car lengths to my car and was soaked to the bone. I got in my car with only 3 contacts in hand. I started down the street and only could go slow, cause the rain was so bad. You could hardly see in front. And the floods. I am not a wimp driver, but this even scared me. I have to go about 1/2 way home and then make a turn to the super market and travel a good distance. So I had to make a decision whether or not I should pull over and wait awhile, come back out later, just not get my contacts or just take my time and just get there. I knew that if I went home I would probably not go back out to get my contacts. Waiting for the rain to stop to comfort point would not have worked I would have waited forever. And not getting my contacts just was not an option. So, my car waded through the river streets. When I got to the parking lot I made the turn in and it was bad. the water in some parts were up to the car doors. The water was flowing like a river like rapids. I was like, am I crazy? OK. Where do I park? I went more toward s the middle and found a spot, it was a lot better. Only my feet were in the water.
I went in the refrigerated store. At the entrance was a woman at a table. Newsday! huh- That is exactly what I did a few years ago. New york Newsday. Mine was a chance to win a 50.00 shopping spree! then you get your leads and try to get them signed up for home delivery. She was giving with the subscription a $100.00 gift card for grocery's. First I told her my husband and I used to do it. And then I told her about our certificates and about us. We exchanged info. I really think that she would be great at this.
I went in and tried to think, what should I buy? hmmmm...... chop meat. I was freezing! I approached a few people and was not getting anywhere. I was in there for almost an hour, drenched and freezing, with just my chop meat in my cart. I got on line, figured I did go out of my way for sure. Looking outside from the register, it was still coming down like there was no tomorrow. This older woman in back of me was making comments about it. And soon I was able to ask her if she used the computer. She said she did not use the computer at first, then when I said; OK I was going to ask you if you would like to know how to get $25.00 back in your pocket when you buy $100.00 in groceries, but if you don't use it. she cut me off, Tell me. I did. And she gave me her info, she could not remember her email, but she does have one.
I am home and dry now. I did make a few phone calls. Have not gotten in touch with too many. And the ones I did touch base with, did not see the presentation yet.
So I got my 5! till tomorrow.
