Am I a crazy person for planning to go to Target and the grocery store (probably Whole Foods) on Wednesday afternoon? We're getting out of work early, so I figure I'll have time, but will the people make me crazy? Hmmmm.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Kathy, that sounds like so much not-fun. I don't have to travel, and so far, I don't feel REALLY bad, just a little run-down and very snotty and coughy. So I will be good to myself, and hopefully it will be ok.

Yes. It will be a madhouse and if you're there to buy anything Thanksgiving related they will have already sold out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hit up TJ's last Thanksgiving Wednesday for pie, and the lines were short and the pie plentiful. So I'd say it depends.

I hate "it depends"!! Well, fuckit, I don't feel like going tonight and have plans tomorrow, so Wednesday it's going to be. I'm not looking for super Thanksgiving-oriented stuff, and I'm flexible about what I get, so. (I'm bringing crudite. So I don't really care what it is, specifically.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I still have to do T-Day shopping. And I have Derby practice tonight and the kids are done with school for the week today.

And sometimes I get caught up in the thrill of the crowd. I think it was the weekend before Christmas that one time that I went into Times Square in order to go to both the Sanrio store AND Toys R Us. It was kind of awesome. Although I'm sure I shoved some people into the street.

Hubby likes to go to the mall on Christmas Eve. It's a weird sort of rush.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I remember going to the mall one 12/24. I will never do that again. Mom's talking about doing a bit of shopping this Friday, and I nipped that idea in the bud--after working retail for years, I flat-out refuse to go anywhere near a store on that day. (Although grocery stores do tend to be empty that day, so that's the only place I'd go.)
Oh, and a quick reassurance about the sick Thanksgiving weekend--after finding out I was ill, I made it a point to stay in the back room and away from customers as much as possible. I was just there if the other employees needed me and then for closing the store.
