Social Distancing, Day 42: Stress

This morning I did the Sunday unthinkable and shopped two orders at the Jantzen Beach Target. They had back-to-back delivery windows and both had promo pay, which means there was extra money attached to each order, since they were so close to expiring.

One customer was sweet, and the other one kept adding crap to her order and asking when I'd arrive at her house because she needed to leave. Grrrrrr.

There was also a Wi-Fi / app issue that was making me nuts, and the Target employee that checked my orders was - I can't think of a good enough simile or metaphor so I'll just say it - SLOW. Like I'm standing there becoming completely enraged and she's just calmly, obtusely asking about every item in Bratty Lady's order without coming out to the cart to look at the things herself, the way the other employees do.

I'd blame it on it being Sunday, but issues like this happen pretty much every time I go shopping, so that's not it.

Then McDonald's for lunch, and then home, where I had to deal with one of my children making crappy life choices. Being a mom is hard, but it's nothing that hours of lying in bed playing with my phone won't solve.

After the initial sadness and tension, the child and I actually had a very nice time chatting with Hubby and each other, about choices and other, more pleasant topics, and hopefully things will be fine after this. Time will tell.

Later: Ate dinner, ate cake, took a bath.
Even later: I'm now ordained.
