Tuesday’s Troubles

It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before (like every week), 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!

~So I went into abercrombie kids the other day to check out their clearance stuff. And quickly I was reminded that I was OLD. Okay, so it was loud in there, but I was expecting that. It’s loud at my house too and I can function in that. But listen, it was straight up nightclub dark in there. I could NOT see the sizes on the clothes I was looking at. The clearance area is dark. I told the teenager working there I needed a flashlight. She was like, no, they just need to turn the lights on in here so we can see. We laughed and I told her at least it didn’t reek of cologne in there. She was like ugh, that probably means I need to go spray some. Turns out they don’t have the automatic sprayers that abercrombie for grown-ups (well something like that) has. Dude really? Do we really need our kids clothes we are buying in the dark pre-scented with cologne? Seriously? Stop it. At least turn the lights on. Or make different labels so I can see what size to get.

~Does anyone have any advice / tips on how to improve posture? My neck / shoulders / back have been hurting lately and I know it’s from sitting all slumped over and I am over it. What do I need to do to fix this? Help!

~Does anyone else get this add in their Facebook feed? I want that 5 pack of EOS balms so badly, but I am guessing that this isn’t really a real deal.  But every time I see that, I want to give them whatever information it is that they need to make this happen for me.  Why are they torturing me like this???

Ugh

~Does anyone even care about this cold weather / snow anymore?  Seriously.  I feel like everyone has just given up.  We all know it’s going to snow and yet, no salt trucks are out pretreating the roads, so it turns everything into a disaster.   We don’t even talk about it when it gets to be like -15 anymore.  It’s just expected.  We’re all just over it.  10 degrees is considered warm which is insane.  And it’s so not even over yet!

~If you have kiddos, are you doing anything special for them for Valentine’s Day?  I hadn’t really given it any thought until yesterday when a set of legos I ordered for L came and my mom was like are you giving him those for Valentine’s Day?  Hmm.  I don’t know, but I could?? Any cool meal ideas / fun gifts I can do?

~Oh and two more things.  I’m not personally annoyed or troubled this, but I am guessing Bob Costas is super annoyed with his eye infection.  It.looks.nasty.  I had a similar infection years ago and I basically just holed up inside (in between doctors visits) until it went away, but poor Bob has to work on tv.  And the second.  My brother picked up a stray dog the other day and has been attempting to locate it’s owners.  No dice.  Shelters full, no one can help, blah, blah, blah.  Frustrating to say the least!

That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
