Today I got up an hour early to open the library early for primary voting. Then I voted when I got off work. Mowed the back yard. Baked a cake for Mother's Day tomorrow.
But my biggest accomplishment of the day is not eating all of the adult (for mom, because Mother's Day tomorrow) and kid's (free with the adult meal, again, because Mother's Day) meals.
Even now, I'm so tired I can barely type. But I know those last two chicken fingers (no, that's not all that's left*) are in the fridge I really want them. Maybe I couldn't eat a horse, but I could definitely finish off an entire chicken on my own.
p. s. I had a Deep Thought Friday post planned yesterday, but realized I fell asleep without actually writing it. So here's yesterday's planned but unwritten (until now) post:
Title: I'm an A**hole
This is my public confession. I am an a**hole. It wasn't intentional, I swear. There was a long line at the self checkouts at the grocery store this morning. Okay, maybe four or five people waiting. But that was too long for that early in the morning.
So I went to the only cashier checkout open (before 9:00 am there's only one).
I had more than two-thirds of my groceries out of the cart and on the conveyor when I realized I was in an, well, not express lane because that's not what the corporate office calls them now. An "about 15 items" lane per the sign.
Oh, I had way more than "about 15". Probably closer to twice that.
I apologized rto the cashier and offered to re-cart my groceries and tough it out in the self checkout line. She said I was okay as is, but what else could she say.
I would have apologized to the other customers in line and let them go before me, but they were all waiting at self checkout.
I feel like the fact that I was through checkout faster than the customer before me and he had maybe half a dozen items -- say one-fifth of what I had -- should count in my favor. Maybe it does.
But I'm still the a**hole with a cartful n the not-quite express lane. Even if you don't notice because you were waiting in self checkout to buy your milk, bread, and cokes.
*there's still an adult small unsweet tea
