So the sandwich wasn’t bad

 I think that yesterday and some of today is going to be marked by something that will just have me sweating into my mask.

Two hours before my shift ended yesterday, these two guys showed up and just left product holes in both departments. For my side, women’s, it was stuff that we didn’t have more of, of course. We are going to have to now pull the 40% off products to the floor to fill these holes.

I think I have some 50% off chinos to help with the one table.  Maybe. Others were already pulled out and I may be thinking what I saw was something else.  

If you are thinking of shopping anywhere check for coupons and free memberships to make some deals a little better because the bulk buyers have already beaten you to most of the stores and your selection isn’t as great as it would have been yesterday never mind Friday. 

Take care out there and your mask should be covering your nose as well as your mouth. It’s how we breath. It’s how the virus gets into the body. 

Later.

Made it!

 I was able to wave to the drive and he delayed leaving for the time it took me round the corner.

Just as my first bus pulled up in one lane my second bus pulled into its lane. 

Man, timing. 

Now to arrive at work. 

My poor knee. I just pushed it a bit. I even jumped a few steps to make sure I caught the bus. 

Uber or not to Uber

 It’s a toss up as to whether or not I will be paying an Uber to get me to work from journal square today. All because I had to use the bathroom before leaving the house. So I missed the bus I wanted to catch. And since I missed that and I saw that the ‘corner’ store was open, I stopped to buy a sandwich for lunch. 

That took more time than I expected. I don’t remember it taking anyone else at any other place that long. The man was not in a rush at all and I walked in with him making a sandwich for someone else. 

Then when he’s ready to make my sandwich I had to pick the bread for him to use and give it to him before he says he doesn’t have any tuna like I first asked for. So now I have a turkey sandwich that I’m not excited about and I’m hoping to catch my second bus. 

And it’s just 9 am.

8 days

 I am working from this past Thursday until next Friday. Eight days straight. Lovely. 

I have a lot of reasons to be unhappy about this. But one of them is on me.

I’m suppose to be sleeping

 But yesterday someone asked me to cover their shift for today. 10 til 5. 

So I just, just caught the bus. 

Yesterday I took the Arnicare tablets and used their cream on my knee and surrounding muscles to get a grip on this pain and stiffness. Until the kid texted me I thought I would have three days of self therapy. I already started to look at knee braces but I’m going to see if the doctors can come up with something else. Like a really good and targeted muscle relaxer. 

Other than that, I forgot to post something over at DA for two days. I remembered in time last night to post something before another day slipped by.

Then, since I had the day off from work I believed that I would be able to write a whole part to my story and as I sat in front of the computer I didn’t have a clue of what to write next and flitted around the net until I opened the program and stared it down until something came to me. 

I finished the whole part at midnight. I would like to point out that I wasn’t on the computer all day and that I stopped to make dinner so I would have lunch for today. I also made myself write over 1000 words so tonight I can just read it over before posting. 

My hand has started to act up again. So I’m typing with one hand almost half the time and at this moment. If I use my other hand for too long it has this painful numb feeling. And I have to lower my hand to get it to start feeling Better. Normal will take a while. 

Ok. That’s it so far. 

Later.
