I guess I didn't cover that in my previous post. Ellen made up a nice "Closed due to illness" sign. But I used my day off to visit the sick and acquaint Maricel with the neighborhood. After ice cream we walked around. Mrs. Phipps, the nice blind lady who live across the street from the store was sitting out on her porch and I stopped by to introduce Maricel. She's a nice lady, she used to be on my paper route as a kid and when her nephew went criminally insane, she sold me his comic collection at an excellent price. I told her she could get more piecing it out, but she just wanted it done and the money in hand to pay for his defense/treatment. After that, we took a long walk all around the neighborhood. If your remember, I'm near the Zoo and close to the river, so there's some decent nature to take in. Then we went back home and Maricel said out of nowhere. "I'm not just coming here to run away and hide from something else, I want to make sure you understand that."
But even if she is, I think I'm okay with that.
