Not Always Social...

Some days I am just not very social.

Yesterday was one of those days. I have been fighting off a sinus cold and dealing with eye infection (which a friend said I should blame myself since I didn't change out my contacts frequently enough). As a result, I was tired and not feeling a hundred percent.

So after a couple cups of coffee I headed out to run some errands and do some shopping. I went to Publix (where shopping is a pleasure) to buy some groceries. The cashier was overly friendly and asked me 20 questions from how I liked some of the items to what I was going to fix with them.

I proceeded to minimally answer her questions with one syllable answers. I just was not in the mood for conversation. I just wanted to get me groceries and go. Is that so wrong?

Family and friends who have known me for years know that when I am tired (or pre-coffee in the morning) I am not very talkative. My parents know not to ask me any hard questions until my 2nd cup of coffee.

I know that I should be courteous (and not a grouch) but some days it is hard. I need to show Christian love and kindness to others around me when I am out. On days I can't be that way maybe I should just stay home.
