My day today so far–8:05pm:
I went for my weekly trip to the grocery store this morning and forgot half of what I went for.
Why, you ask?
I’ll tell you.
I was about two-thirds of my way through my shopping when a woman told me they had Lysol Wipes on the shelf.
“Oooh,” I said, and promptly looked for the aisle. But I was at the wrong end of a one-way “street” now that they have arrows on the floor for social distancing. So, being the good girl I am, I went down the adjacent aisle so I could come back the other way.
I turned up the correct aisle, and as you can imagine, I was shocked to find an older woman with a cart coming the other way. The wrong way.
“I know I’m going the wrong way,” she said, “but they have Lysol Wipes, and you don’t see those very often.”
She reached them just ahead of me so I waited while she plucked one off the shelf and put it in her cart.
“I’ll get out of your way,” she said and turned to go.
I got to the spot where she’d turned around. She’d taken the last one.
That’ll teach me not to follow the rules.
Nice guys always finish last, don’t they?
And so yeah, I forgot half of what I went for because after that I was distracted by the voice in my head chanting BITCH!
…concentrate on the pretty flowers, Linda…
(If you don’t get the reference, read yesterday’s post.)
Why I’m writing this post:
Because if you’re like me and stuck at home already, or if you’re going to be like me soon, the days of the week are hell to keep track of. We have a wonderful community here on WordPress and all over the Internet as well, and I’m sure many people are feeling nervous and/or isolated. I want to make sure every one of us has somewhere to congregate and someone to talk to.
I want everyone to know that you can start discussions with each other in the comments, and if you’d like to write your own “What Day is it Anyway?” post, you can link to this one. Hashtag #WDIIA.
Let’s keep in touch!

Ug! What a bitch! Hehehehe! She probably knew she’d taken the last one too! God!

That was very mean. It sucks when you lose even when you follow the rules. But as you said, focus on the pretty flowers.

Yep, pretty flowers. But isn’t that when the girl was shot, looking at the pretty flowers? (The Walking Dead) I’m sorry you forgot what was on your list. I think that happens a lot now. Even when we make a list, getting to the items seems impossible because of all the ways of keeping us safe, it so distracts us from the actual shopping.

If everyone doesn’t follow the rules, we descend to chaos.
