I drive for parking lot for serval minutes for closes opening to the door whether I am pickup something quickly or need to do a regular shopping trip. Ordering ahead is not always available for certain stores and items, while we have staples, my household has 14 food allergies and other medical conditions that are managed, along with eating properly for Crohns.
The intestinal pain is so debilitating and walking can be bad a lot at times (where my legs are weak, tired and slow). Pending on the exacerbation it can take me a while to recover in the car when I return to the parking lot.
