Late-night CVS visits and nuns having fun

It was 8:30 p.m. and my Friday was over at last. My brain was shot from the diverse and busy events of the day, and I wanted nothing more than to curl up and sleep. I was worn out and needed a break from people. 

This looked nothing like the CVS I visited. 
But before I hopped on the interstate to head home, I knew I had to stop somewhere and acquire caffeine, or I'd certainly fall asleep at the wheel. I exited the cathedral and glanced across the dark street to the brightly-lit CVS parking lot. 

This was not the safest part of town. It was nighttime, I was by myself and dressed more professionally for the day's earlier events; I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself. 

Also, I'd never considered visiting the iron fence-circled drugstore as an option in past visits to this area of the city. But there was an easy access to a caffeinated beverage standing before me, and wouldn't even need to reset the GPS to find some obscure coffee shop elsewhere. 

Eh. I decided I'd pop in quickly, pick up one of those cold, premade jar bottles of Starbucks frappe-somethings, and not be stupid about anything.
