Close That Chapter

Yesterday was not the best of days. LOTS of issues, LOTS of problems and all I could really do was facilitate the communication. Some people wouldn't mind that. Me? I like to fix things. Get them resolved so they go away. My hands were tied over these particular situations so all I could do was field the angry phone calls and promise that I would push from my end to get answers.

VERY frustrating.

Add in that I had a meeting scheduled in Wisconsin. A meeting to discuss a program that I really have no idea about. Don't know the rules, don't know the process. And no one has gotten back to me with the details. So I was going to drive an hour for a meeting that was pretty much a waste of everyone's time. I HATE THAT.

Luckily I did manage to get someone to answer their phone as I speed dialed through my phone book while sitting outside the front door of my customer's store. I got enough information that it wasn't a COMPLETE waste of time, and I managed to pull off a mini training class so the customer was satisfied.

As I pulled back on to the highway I just wanted to get to the grocery store and then home. Home. I just wanted to be home.

Now, I'm sure you've heard folks say never go to the grocery store when you're hungry. You'll shop all wrong. Well, I have even BETTER advice on that. Don't go to the grocery store when you have to pee. Talk about power shopping.

I all but ran through that store. It was PACKED. And I hadn't been grocery shopping for more than a couple of weeks. I needed everything.

The good news is I'm stocked up for a while. I like choices. I don't like it when I shop for "just enough". So I have a beautiful ham, some chops, a couple roasts, some chicken. Sweet potatoes, red potatoes, rice, veggies. I even got some yummy snacks.

I scored big time in the coffee aisle. PUMPKIN SPICE! One of my favorite things about fall. Pumpkin Spice coffee. AND I didn't tear the bean dispensers down tryin' to get some. THAT is a plus.

Anyway - finished my shopping and knew I was going to have to stop somewhere QUICK cause I wasn't going to make it all the way home. I REALLY had to pee.

I loaded the car, which took a while because of all the dancin' I had to do. Found some place safe to fix THAT little problem and headed home.

Or tried to. Got run off the road by a semi. THAT was fun. Cut off and almost T boned another car a bit later. I cannot TELL you how nice it was to pull into my garage.

I started to unload the car, and managed to get just about everything in the house. Went back to grab the last couple of bags. Opened the door to the back seat and a bag fell out.

Eggs. I "pre scrambled" 2 dozen eggs. All over my garage floor.

It was soooo tempting to just walk away and pretend it never happened. Really. It was REALLY tempting.

But I cleaned it up, put the food away and changed into my jammies. To hell with dinner. I was afraid to turn on the stove.

Yesterday is in the books. Thank Goodness.

And if I had to classify that particular book - it'd be in the "disaster" section. Not my favorite genre........
