The gas station where I get my nightly soda is sometimes locked up so the person working can take a little break. Last night it was locked when I got there but the lock was flimsy or loose and the doors moved easily and the had they sign on the door apologizing and saying they'd be back.
I usually do laps around the gas station until the cashier comes back from break and I see the sign gone or someone going in or out of the convenience store. After a few laps, I saw a couple people going in and followed.
The cashier wasn't there.
The sign was still on the door.
(No, this isn't a murder mystery.)
There were 3 of us in the store, two getting gas and me getting my soda.
I'm there every day so I feel like it's ok for me to go where people aren't supposed to go so checked in the back room after one of the guys knocked on the bathroom door to see if she (or he...sometimes there's a guy cashier) was in there.
Nope!
We still waited around for a bit but, honestly, the main girl is always telling me to just take the soda because I'm doing the drink a day for $5.99 per month deal so I really was good to go if I wanted. One of the guys kept saying that I'm only getting the soda and I was ok (meaning I could leave) and I eventually did.
But now I'm a tiny bit worried that I'll find the place burned down or completely ransacked or at least find out money was taken or something when I stop off tonight.
I had a taser. I could have taken those boys down!
(I probably could have gotten away with taking a Twix too but I'm too honest for that.)
So you’re saying you’re definitely NOT the Great Twix Bandit, then?0 -

Went to a family funeral today. 😢
Funerals are so darn sad.
I don’t want one when I go, there’d be no one there except family.
I went to a funeral where my ex and I were the only non family there, it was so depressing.5 -
This is so random but I saw a post on the internet about how a lady uses 6-8 containers of 20lb cat litter a month for four cats and I think she must be insane.0

I have to place a call to Medicare today. I detest calling places. Unless they're my family.3

Took my son to the ER yesterday due to ongoing and painful stomach issues. Looks like he has stomach sensitivity issues that mean I need to put him on a strict diet and start eliminating all sorts of foods to try and identify what is making him sick.
I am so glad it's nothing more serious, and yet feel nervous palpitations when it comes to what I need to do now. Food prep / diet management - especially for my teen son - is one of my weakest areas. He's so picky when it comes to food that's GOOD for his body, and yet has no problem consuming all sorts of spicy, high sugar foods.
I'm sure this will be a good thing in the end for all of us.. it's just...one more thing to manage. One more thing in an area I struggle with. sigh.6 -

Can they refer you to a nutritionist that can help make up a plan for him and his needs?? And have they addressed his stress and how that might be affecting his stomach issues as well?
We all know what stress can do to a body.
Hugs to you dear lady and hoping you can get some support with this. One more thought, he's a teen, maybe get him 100% on board with it all as far as making a food plan. They must've given you some idea of what kind of foods can be the worst culprits, which ones to eliminate first? Good luck!!0 -
The poor little chickadee that bounced off my windows and was still laying out there later. I placed him in a bush and put some sunflower seeds with him. But something was definitely broken. 3

Often, if you can get to them right away, with a little bit of water... dip your finger in the water and put it to their beak. Sometimes a few of those are enough to wake them up and snap them out of the shock. Sometimes it's the shock that kills them.
Big hugs. It's so hard to see their tiny little perfect bodies.3 -

Haha! Glad I didn't disappoint!
I don't know if I can even do a single now. But the thing that really got me there was doing weighted negatives. Add 25lbs and take ten seconds to drop. It was a game changer.1 -
Stuff...but one of them is wine. I tried a new wine last weekend and it's been on my mind all week. I think a bottle or two will make it inside my fridge tonight.5
