Sometimes there are little things that hit you about being alone and you realize you are alone. Tonight I went to pickup my D from her class and stopped at a drug store to pick up some bread and a drink for D. I saw some cereal on a shelf with a sign reading "sale", I knew from the flyer that it was 1.99 so I grabbed a couple. AT the cash it was rung in at the regular price of $4.59 so I questioned this and the cashier called someone over and he asked me to show him where this sign was, so I did. He then said "oh, that sale starts tomorrow" I replied "but it's not tomorrow, it's tonight and your sign says 'sale' " and again he says "but the sale is tomorrow" So I went through my argument again "you cannot have a sign up saying 'sale' and then charge the regular price" At this point another clerk rushes over to inform me that they need to put the stock out the night before so they are ready for the sale tomorrow. Once more I say "I understand that but you should also be taking the sale sign down or you are misleading your customers" So, one clerk says he'll go talk to the manager and when he returns says "the manager says the sale starts tomorrow" OK, you get the picture and with his snarky tone I got a little heated, but anyway my point being that afterwards I realized I had no one to come home to and share this story with. It may be a little thing but little things matter too! I miss knowing there is someone to come home to and share events of the day...not that I really had that anyway in the past few years but...maybe one day...maybe one day.
