My Life Thus Far
We All Have Shortcomings
Finally, I had a good sales day at work. It was busy, and I was in a really good frame of mind. Although, that has really been the case in general as of late. I even worked with Kaitlin (our sales specialist), which can often be problematic. Not because of anything either of us is doing, but with the cashiers who often don't track sales correctly. Kaitlin and I work really well together. We manage both the sales floor, and the fitting rooms without getting in one another's way, stepping on toes, or taking customers. Both of us succeed, and that's one of the things I love about working with her. Now if only she could get better about putting away her go-backs. We all have shortcomings...
Snookums requested shepherd's pie for dinner, so after work I stopped into Trader Joe's to get ingredients. Then I went to Costco go get more bananas, bread, and a few other things. I was home by 6pm and got to spend some chill time with the family while cooking dinner. It was nice. Not to toot my own horn, but the shepherd's pie turned out amazingly well! Snookums didn't want to share with the rest of the family. That's how I know I did a good job. If it turns out exceptionally well, Snookums doesn't want to share with another anyone else. He did, but I had to force him!
Tonight a friend sent me an article about a study that found that consuming fresh mangoes an hour before smoking marijuana helps unlock the medicinal benefits of cannabis even better. She sent it as a joke, because I'm always posting about my insane mango consumption, but she actually did me a huge favor. I didn't know that, and I think it will help me manage my chronic pain even better. The hip pain has superseded the back pain, and that's saying a lot. I didn't think anything could hurt more than my back usually does. So, does that mean my hip is hurting even worse than my back pain ever did (because that's how it feels), or does it mean the inversion table is starting to help, and the hip pain is taking central focus? Either way, I'm super close to making an appointment to get it looked at. When I had the MRI done on my back, the radiologist mentioned there was inflammation, but not what could have caused it or how it could be fixed. I didn't ask, because at that time my back was just so much mores. Now it's the hip's time to shine. Ugh.
Tomorrow I'm going to The Outlet Collection to teach a bra certification class. Thankfully, I don't have to get up too terribly early. For that I'm grateful. And I know it will be fun and interesting being in a store other than my own. I just worry that I'm not going to be in a social mood, and it will be trying. I hope that's not the case. I hope I'm feeling a little more social than I have been feeling lately. I want to enjoy seeing Sara and hanging out in her store. Not dealing with my stupid anxiety.
