5. I don't belong to Costco

Tue Dec 2, 2025, 07:24 AM

Yesterday

I find the huge store overwhelming, and when I'm in the area, the parking lot is overflowing and chaotic.
I have issues with large brightly lit crowded places to the point where I get dizzy and need to sit down before I have a full fledged panic attack.

But

Because of this, I will put on my big girl pants and join.
I'll find the least crowded time to go.

Go Costco!
