I blame the rush on the slackers. It's the only logical explanation. I do my errands when its prudent. I grocery shop when it rains (or it's a blizzard). I get my haircut on Sunday when everyone is in church. But I don't wait until the last possible minute like a lot of people.
NEVER buy flowers on Valentine's day! In fact, the day after, or even a couple days after is the best time IMHO.
One time that didn't work well, pumpkin carving. We carved them so early last year, they were drooping by the time Halloween came.
Sort of like I never have an empty tank two days before the holiday weekend. WHY, oh WHY would I pay holiday prices, and deal with holiday demand..when I could get fuel a few days prior.
I call this survival of the fittest. Being prepared has always rewarded me.
As for the buses, no way to avoid them when I drop off for daycare. But it seems everyone woke up early today, as the roads were speedy and less congested as they were during everyone "summer hours" commutes.
I also feel like this is why I perform better at work, at home etc. I'm rarely rushed for anything and I am in the middle of my w*rking years. Rushing causes stress, and stress causes mistakes. I don't like making mistakes, and I really don't like being wrong.
BTW, is that a thing...going to Sams/CostCo for a hot dog and coke? My DF does this too, I says...Oh why did you need to go to CostCo... Response is oh, I didn't I just wanted a hot-dog and coke. He goes to sample. DM shops. It works for them to each their own lol.
