On a somewhat related note, I had / have my hopes up that being December now, at least Walmart is open 24 hours. Last year, I called the store phone number listed on the website, and was greeted with an automated message offering several choices, and either by waiting until the end of that, or picking the first option, was able to hear their hours via another automated message. This year, I tried calling again, but choosing the same option as before (for information on store hours) led me to an actual person, to whom I just said I had the wrong number (yeah), and listening until the end of the initial message only offered a "Please stay on the line, and one of our associates will be happy to assist you". I figure even if the odds were in my favor - they are open 24 hours now, and I am sent home at midnight - I wouldn't want to go anyway, because I don't have quite as much money as I previously thought. Yesterday, I still had about $60 available (not counting the ~$30 cash in my wallet). Today, I only have ~$20 (and still the same amount of cash) because of those purchases I made of Christmas presents for myself on Thursday. Brilliant, but Mom did pay me back. I just spent about half of that on supper from Pizza Tonite later that same night. I don't mind waiting until next weekend though, and certainly will call and actually ask when they're open 'til if holiday hours aren't listed on their website by then, but that's about all I have time to say for tonight. I have just enough time to get ready~
