Guppy and I headed over to Toddler Time and she played a little bit with a friendly baby her age. Then we went to Joanns to hunt down frames and mats and such. Blech for the choices. And they didn't know what art trading cards were and didn't carry sleeves for them. Guppy started melting down on our way out, and I got her calm enough for a quick trip into OfficeMax... provided I HOLD her, not put her in a cart. She's getting hhheeeeaaaavvy for that. I was motivated to make it a quick trip, got what I needed and scrammed.

Four times, three different people tried to hit me in the parking lot leaving OfficeMax - the guy beside me started to back out as I was halfway out. I leaned on my horn... and he kept coming. I leaned on it again and he screeched to a stop (may even have bumped me, but I doubt it scratched the dirt, if so...). I pulled the rest of the way out, and instead of waiting for me to drive past, HE BACKED UP AT ME AGAIN! I honked, AGAIN, and he continued to back right to my bumper, pulled forward and drove away. There were two witnesses there who were as aghast as I was. Then someone tried to turn into me, then someone ELSE tried to back into me as I was waiting for the second car to squeeze around me - again requiring my horn before they stopped, because they did not see me. Sheesh! The witnesses could only laugh, I could only shrug - and leave as quickly as I could! That parking lot was out for me! I mean, I know I drive a silver car, but was I also suddenly INVISIBLE?

Stressful.

Monsterus Minimus is down for a much-needed nap, and between stressful driving and hauling her around OfficeMax, my back HURTS. I am going to take some pills and then maybe tackle some writing or artwork for the Torn World Muse Fusion: http://torn-world.livejournal.com/149893.html

I may also take a nap - we were up just once last night, but once is still once too often!

Here's a picture of me getting creative yesterday:
