"What a sigh is there. The heart is sorely charged." (Macbeth)

....  Today was a very frustrating day.  At an evening event in our clubhouse on Friday, Rho won a man's watch from Macy's in a raffle.  I have a watch and don't need another.  Today, we decided that we would go to Macy's at the Boca Mall to trade the watch for credit.  Of course, to go to the mall I needed to take the scooter...because I can't get too far with a walker.  Soooo, about 1:30 from our apartment I drove the scooter to the car, put the key in the lift (by the trunk) lowered it, and drove the scooter onto it.  However, when we tried to raise the lift with the scooter on it, the lift simply refused to rise.  Soooo, I had to drive the scooter back to the app'tment and traded it for the walker, hoping that the Mall had scooters available which they sometimes do.


.....When we got back to my car, we noticed that someone had stolen my license plate!  So, anyway, we persisted and we went in Rho's car.  The mall had one scooter left!  Yea!  But the person who had used it, went off with the key! Sooooo, we had to rent a wheelchair which Rho, with difficulty, pushed me to the food court, because at this time (2:30) she was very  hungry...she's big on lunching.  We got to the food court and found that there were only a few food vendors open because the food court had undergone "reconstruction".... To make a very long story short, Rho went to Macy's and exchanged the watch for a gift card while I waited for her in the main lobby watching the world go by on MLK day.
