Chapter 89

She wondered how different her teens were and the memories of last night brought a smile on her face. She went about her usual things for the day, her routine. She remembered that she had to meet Sara today evening; she wanted to get something for her son since she will be visiting her in her house but she didn’t know how old he was, she was not sure if he was four or five.

The road was almost empty. She tuned on to the radio to find out what was going on and it boomed with advertisements and the sales and today was Wednesday, the day before Thanks Giving, the most traveled day in the United States and no wonder the local roads were empty. She realized it was going to be tough to find a parking spot and get a present before visiting Sara. She had taken the local roads to get to the mall to grab a gift for Sara’s son, she had escaped the traffic, but getting a present and getting out of the mall was going to be a nightmare.

Today Mike and Lesa won’t be coming in to work. She knew she can’t get much done, but can count on the fact that she won’t be interrupted much. By the time she reached the mall it was already crowded, it was impossible to find a parking spot. After a couple of rounds, she decided to grab something during lunch and started towards to work avoiding the highways and expecting that she would be at least twenty minutes late.
