CHECK-IN: 🐝🐛🦋MONDAY 6/23/2020🦋🐛🐝 - All are WELCOME!

Good morning.

Off to pick the rest of the spinach before it bolts in the heat. I saw the beginnings of a little flower bud yesterday so it is time. After that I'll pop in some leftover annuals that need to go somewhere. The a/c is on already and it will be heating up here later. Gotta slam down the coffee and head outside!!

Wishing all a peaceful day. KOKO.

Happy Monday!

The husband went back to work last night so the dogs and I had the bed to ourselves!! It was HEAVEN!

I got my walk in early today (8:30) because it's going to be hot and humid. Time wise I did OK (about 14:33 minute mile). I really need to go shower now, but I'm hear and catching up on work e-mails.

I had a kinda scary thing happen yesterday. I hate Wal-Mart and try to go only once a month. I stopped after I went to the gym yesterday morning because it was on the way home. I was putting my stuff in the back of my car (I have a green Kia Soul with a vanity plate). There was traffic in the parking lot (not unusual) and I just happened to notice this navy blue pick-up truck in the opposite aisle from me driving slow. I returned my cart to the corral and walked back to my car (about two spaces away) and that same blue pick-up had turned around (still in the opposite aisle) and had stopped in the spaces opposite my car (there were no cars parked there). I made eye contact with the guy, gave a WTF look to him and got in my car, he drove away. It was enough to give me an odd feeling, so when I pulled out, I went the opposite way he went. I was at the stop light and noticed that he was two cars behind me. I made my turn and speed up to get around some cars into the opposite lane. He stayed in the outside lane (4 lane road). Of course the vehicle behind me was slow, I made a last minute turn at the next stop light and he cut off traffic to turn too. He followed me for two more turns and I was finally able to lose him at a hill, turn and curve. He never got really close to me. I was going to head back into town and towards the police station. It really had me shook up. To say the least, I will be avoiding that Wal-mart for awhile. I have thought of several things I could have different, like go the same way he did so I was behind him or turned out of the parking lot at a different exit. I have a very distinct car, so if he ever saw it again, he'd know it was me. I have bought some pepper spray for my key chain and plan to put my baseball bat back in my car! Why does this weird shit always happen to me!

So ladies, please be aware of your surroundings! I've heard of these things happening, but this is the first time it has ever happened to me.

I hope you all have a good day! Positive energy to all!

neen, how scary. I'm glad nothing bad happened. So often, my head is elsewhere when I'm unloading groceries in my car. I need to stay more aware. Too many awful things can happen out there. Stay safe!

neen, how scary! i agree with the recommendation to contact non-emergency and just let them know what happened so they have a description of the car and the guy and they (or you) can let walmart security know. in case he's casing the parking lot for people to rob or do something worse to.

neen, did you get the license plate number? Call me weird but when I sense something strange and there is a car involved I always make a note of the license plate number.

So upsetting.
