It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~In the past few weeks, we’ve been finding these huge flies everywhere. I believe they are “crane flies” and I don’t know where they are coming from, but I am not liking them. At all. They are all over my windows and screens and in the garage and it reminds me of growing up near the water during “fish fly” season. You can’t escape them. I fear one is going to sneak in my house when I am sleeping and land on my face. Ugh. The thought.
~It’s supposed to be in the mid-90’s here today. Really? Come on. It’s supposed to be warm today and tomorrow and then it’s going to drop, umm, 30 degrees by the end of the week. If I wasn’t sick already, I would be by then. I’m over summer. And no, there is no need to remind me of this statement when I am complaining about how cold it is this winter and wishing it were summer.
~So yesterday after dropping L off at school, WB and I went to Target and then to Kroger. Kroger had no less then two dozen employees working, however, the majority of them appeared to be in front of me in line at Starbucks. No biggie – we all need our fix – on the clock or not. I’m even okay when they all start chit chatting. I just want that salted caramel frap. WB, was not as okay with this and finally after 15 minutes (and only 2 employees/customers served) the manager let us go in front of him. Cool. So we shop. At the checkouts, there are a ton of employees around the checkouts, however, only two are open. And they have huge lines. And again, although there are a million employees around, I bag my own groceries. Again, NOT a big deal, I do it all the time, but not when everyone is just standing around and talking to each other! GRRR! Lesson learned. No Kroger before 9am. It’s got to just be a bad time at the store because usually they are fabulous there!
~I finally booked out Vegas flights yesterday and wanted to use a Delta voucher B had. Only it had expired and Delta can’t do anything about it. Although it was my fault for not redeeming it earlier, I didn’t need it then! I need it NOW. The expiration of gift cards is equally annoying, but Michigan has a law that requires that you get 5 years to use them so if I don’t use it within 5 years, it’s my fault. Is it like his everywhere? Do your gif cards expire?
~And in my most insane “trouble” of the week (maybe ever), my PopSugar Fall Style Must Have Box tracking hasn’t updated in almost a week. I am totally hoping it just appears in my mailbox today / tomorrow / Thursday and isn’t really just sitting in CA. I think it’s a FedEx glitch, but when you are stalking your tracking like crazy, it’s not fun when it doesn’t update!
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
