Stress-free. Screw commercialism.

Sounds like my day!

Black Friday:

Slept until around 9:30-10am. Got up, ate, played with puppy a bit, started cleaning (I'm only half moved-in with my boyfriend cause we need to clean/clear out the master bedroom, redo the flooring, paint, so there is space for both of us, long story), realized we were missing pieces for the closet system he installed in the one closet in the master br a few months back, decided to hit up Lowes around like 4pm.

Traffic was fine. Lowes (in a shopping "plaza" with only some discount food place that's about the size of a CVS building) was not really that busy. We found what we needed, bought a few things we didn't need but wanted anyway, and were out of there with relative ease.

Normally I don't go anywhere on Black Friday if I can help it. I hate those people that go to the stores for the "sales", when for the most part, there really arn't any deals that you can't get at any other given time during the year. (OK, maybe there were 1 or 2 that I would have considered decent, but I'm not crazy enough to go stand out in the freezing cold weather if I don't have to, or at least am not getting paid for it. I used to work construction, and I've had my fair share of days (or nights in some cases) of sitting out on a site, wide open field (sometimes on the side of a mountain) in frigid weather (maybe a high of like 15, if I was lucky)... probably why I'm so susceptable to frostbite now).

60 Hz (per field, scanning every other line of a frame) is the standard adopted by the National Television Standards Commission in 1941. It was a big achievement back then.
