For some reason, this was just not a great day for approaching. I've noticed that weekend days, while it seems like they would be great because I have so much time, are very hit or miss. Sometimes there's just a plethora of opportunity, and sometimes it is very dry. This was one of those days.
I went to Walmart to pick up some canvasses and paint for a project I'm working on. While there, I saw a woman that I had previously approached in the HyVee. When I had first approached her, I told her she looked like a friendly person and introduced myself. She seemed taken aback and kept saying that it wasn't a good time to talk? So this time I explained to her about the 30 day challenges and that I do this to better myself as a person and get used to talking to strangers and get over the fear and anxiety of that, and also as a way to inspire people to make changes in their lives. At this point, a normal person would be like "oh, that's really cool!" or at least "oh, alright then." However, she was still taken aback. She's a very skittish person. It makes me think that she's in an abusive relationship, because it's not normal to be that skittish.
I had to pick up some more supplies at Target, so I tried there, but there must have been some big back to school sale or something, because the place was loaded with high-schoolers or college freshman there with their parents. I'd never seen Target so busy. It annoyed me, so I just got my stuff and left.
I stopped off at Metcalfe's on the way to grab some lunch, and decided to try while I was there. Sadly, there weren't really any opportunities to approach.
Not a banner day, but sometimes that will happen. At least I took care of the things I needed to take care of, so there's that.
