Not a vent. Nope, not me.

This will be a non-vent only because the weekend is young, and I may be ventish to a much larger degree tomorrow, or the day after.
That said, I do believe that I have earned extra credit points on Heaven's Entrance Exam for taking my mother on a two-hour trip to Wal-Mart, running around after her as she drove the motorized cart from one corner to the other and back again several times, and being struck by the cart once -- the result of a major tactical failure when I got in front of the cart while it was not moving -- while continuing to smile. When we got back to her living center, I had to make three trips, carrying as many bags as I could hold each time, to get her purchases to her apartment. I kept smiling. My jaw hardly hurts at all.
On the good side, I did manage to buy some Mucinex for my cold, plus some tiny filters and extra coffee and creamer for the baby coffee pot in my hotel bathroom.
