Sane-itizer
I visited Sumter's DHEC to obtain birth certificate copies today. Let me just tell you that I like hospitals way more! Isn't it ironic that I wanted to Clorox the whole building? I mean, it is a place of health right? Shouldn't a place of health be sanitary? That ain't healthy! I think that it was probably because I heard some really haggy coughing...way worse than my cough last week. Really haggy coughing going on in that joint.I wanted to run out of there it was so scary!
This is what happened during my outing to DHEC. I didn't know what floor I needed to be on and I was looking for signs. So, I hopped on the elevator and hit 3 just to see where it would take me, thinking that a sign would appear somewhere telling me where to go. The doors of the elevator opened on 3 and there were cops everywhere! There was a woman crying and a man repeating that he was sorry. Apparently, some mayhem. Woo. I had to get back on that elevator! I eased back into the elevator and hit 1. The elevator was screwy though. It would go to the 2,3, and 4 and then back to the 3 again. It did this like two times. I was stuck on it! Did the first floor just disappear or something? I became frantic for a milli-second and then someone got on and assured me that it would go back down to the first floor,and that someone must have been playing with the buttons. For all I knew there was a crazy person on the loose and they would be popping into the elevator with us. These were my milli-second thoughts, but I calmed down. This Dhec was a crazy place. Finally, I made it to the first floor and went to the front desk to just plain ask where I was supposed to go. Duh, it was right there at that desk. So, that was easy... I filled out the forms and I overheard someone say that a man was carrying on and acting hysterical over not receiving his food stamps in the mail. He whigged out.His whiggin out caused a woman in the waiting area to have a seizure! That's why all of the cops were on the third floor. Whew! What an errand. A scary one at that.
I went to the library after I got the birth certs. It's temporarily at the O'Donnell House while the new one is being renovated. The old library was lookin pretty raggedy. The new library is going to be pretty spectacular when it's finished and it's about darn time! I voted Yes for that one. The O'Donnell house is so beautiful. I was in book heaven there. An old house and the smell of books. The hardwood floors shined and the book shelves were rowed over a beautiful Oriental rug. Just the smell of old houses and books does something to me.
