Yesterday we went to the mall to pick up a few things for his trip to visit his mother. I can't go because of- you guessed it- too much work.

I was feeling light-headed off and on during the day. No particular reason that I'm aware of- it just happens to me now and then as y'all know.

We were in a store and the room started closing in, I started hearing that "bionic man" noise, and I knew that if I didn't sit down fast, I'd faint. I'm just glad that I have warning signals.

**As God is my witness, I shall never faint again**

I told the bearded eye-roller that I needed to go sit down because I was going to faint. He took one look at my white face and told me to sit on the floor in the middle of the store. NO WAY DUDE! Geez, that might cause a scene. I just started walking out of the store toward a bench. He had merchandise in his hands (CROCs for his mother- tee hee) and started following me to make sure I would be OK. I told him to go back in the store and let me go. Then I gave him THAT look. You know, the one that says- don't mess with me and do NOT leave the store with unpaid merchandise in your hands.

He actually raised his voice at me! Can you believe it? We almost caused a scene in the mall. Dang- where was my flip camera when I needed it.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone would have noticed because that mall is in a part of town where that sort of thing goes on all the time.

I did feel bad though, for scaring him enough to actually RAISE HIS VOICE at me. I can count the number of times he's done that on one hand. Usually it's because I didn't do his laundry right.

I kid... I kid....

In honor of the near miss, I finally bought a mouth guard. Next? A helmet.
