Rough, Rough Morning

This morning, my Slave Driver (ur Nikki) put me to work as soon as I got up! She had to go pick up an ink cartridge for her job before work. So she wanted to get to Staples by our house when it opened up at 8:00am. In that way, she'd get help from the staff easier; darn blind people...

We live in a commercial area. So there are different smell & sounds before all the stores and businesses open. We passed many big delivery trucks and saw people unloding stuff, needless to say, blocking the sidewalk... But the worst part was this one street crossing! Oh, now I know my Professor Keith sometimes reads this, I don't even want to talk about it... Well, I took Nikki to the corner, then she told me "Left" to face the big street to cross. But one thing Nikki didn't know (or she forgot) was that we could cross only one side of the street, and we happened to be on the wrong side. Of course, Nikki didn't realize it until it was too late! We started crossing with "All quiet," but soon there were cars criscrossing in front of us!!! It was too late to go back to the curb. Nikki was fleeking out and kept telling me to find the curb! I was in a panic because there were cars flying between the curb and us! We somehow managed to get to the other side of the street. It was maybe only for a few seconds, but it felt like forever!!!

I ended up crossing sort of diagnal, but hey, both of us were in one piece!!! We need to pay attention more! After that, things were better. We did have to go through the parking lot, but there weren't many cars yet. So we got to Staples, and Nikki got what she needed. Then we got home safe & happy! We even crossed the same street, but this time on the right side with green light on our side for sure!
