The Rest of the Story
So those of you that have read the
Green post
below,
will now get the REST of the story of yesterday.
Up in the AM,
finished these crocks for an order,
after a lovely, brisk,
freezing your butt off
3 mile walk in below freezing conditions.
Honestly,
are we going to do this all winter?
Then pack up my painting gear,
pick-up my MIL,
drop off my MIL at dialysis,
off to paint this.
Some of you will remember the beginning of this a few weeks back.
Still have lots to go,
but done until after Christmas.
Making good time on that project,
I thought that I would have enough time to take back the jacket to
Wallyville
and
pick up the
GREEN
cell phone case at the
Verizon Store
BEFORE
I picked up my MIL.
So the time line.
12:35
Park at the Verizon Store
Walk in.
Leave my phone,
(Other issues also than just a case)
Walk
to Wallyville
Bag in Hand.
in the door get in line
12:40
Wait, you have to go to another line to get another paper.
Get in that line.
Wait
Wait Wait.
Until I have an anonymous blog, I won't go into details about that Wallyville
employee,
lest you all think that I am insensitive
however,
I will tell you that he smelled so bad that I had my sleeve up over my nose.
No cause for smelling that bad.
Get my other paper,
Back in the other line.
Is it me, or does it seem like everyone just wants to chit chat with the Walmart employees today?
I have to pick my MIL up at 1:00!!!
So I am down to one person in front of me.
and
The old people bus pulls up.
It was like a parade of
walkers,
wheelchairs,
oxygen,
shopping carts.
and
they all came between me and the counter
where I was now next.
and
the bottom of the receipt is missing.
The bar code.
So they will have to give me store credit.
No problem.
Other than the time
It is now 12:45.
and
they
need
my
driver's license
Which is in the car, parked by the Verizon Store.
Reach in my pocket,
as I am running
yes,
RUNNING!
to the car.
No keys.
I left them lay on the counter at the Verizon store.
Into the Verizon Store
where
the lady tries to explain the problem with my phone.
No time,
we'll talk later,
Grab my GREEN phone,
my keys,
RUN
to the car,
get my license
RUN
back to Wallyville
and
I am THIRD in line.
Tapping foot
Looking at the clock
on my GREEN phone.
I finally get to the counter,
get MY Wallyville card,
wrap $20 of my money in the receipt and
RUN
back to the car.
Drive to the dialysis center and pull in at
12:57.
Longest half hour of my life?
Not hardly,
it was the NEXT half hour.
She was not done until 1:30.
You ask,
why the panic?
Apparently you have never been late
to pick up an
Italian
MIL
on
Dialysis!
I have.
Enough said.
Back home, get my MIL delivered,
painting stuff back in the house.
Get my car,
Back to work,
Where JWS,
did I mention he is sick?
(Really, a sick husband should evoke even more sympathy to my plight)
He leaves,
I finish the day.
Come home,
supper and some GREEN phone discussion.
And time to rest.
and make this.
I already had the circles cut and
it is going out
today
to a
friend.
I hope that she likes it!
