Today is Sunday, five days before BLACK FRIDAY the mega shopping day for all the Christmas specials presented by our local shopping stores, Wal-Mart, Sears, Target and any other store wanting to make a killing on this day. People will be lined up at 3 and 4 in the morning even though the doors to these stores won't open until 5 or 6.
Getting back to Sunday. I arose at about 6:30 a.m. and realized that this was Sunday and the day all the sale papers would be thick with sale items. Instead of sleeping in I dragged myself to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee then dragged myself to the front door to get the Sunday paper. The paper was nice and thick and I imagined all of the good things inside. I pulled the paper from it's plastic sleeve and set it on the kitchen table like I do every morning (it's like a ritual). Took blood sugar count, blood pressure and fixed myself a cup of coffee. I went to the table and separated the sale papers from the rest of the paper and much to my surprise there were very few sales. Then I remembered. Thursdays paper will be the one with all of the sale papers. I guess I could have slept in.
