I didn't know where to put this, not really a rant and not an isolated blurt. Kind embarressed to even whine when so many other members have "real problems",but I know you guys will get a laugh out of it. I'm laughing now that it's over but wasn't so much at the time.
I rarely do town and even more rarely shop, (sorry to be repatative to those who already know this). My hubby was mega busy today and I volunteered to pick up a few things for him as I wanted to go look at the pet store for a grooming table that he's buying me for my Bday. LOL...he forgot it yesterday, no biggy. I leave at 3PM and expect it to be a quick trip...hit the pet store first but wasn't sure where on "main street" it was so I parked at the west end and walked, twas only about 5 blocks and it was a beautiful afternoon. Spent some time looking around and as usual in crappy small towns they didn't have what I wanted but offered to order it in. Blah, blah from them so I headed back for the car. Cloudburst, got soaked. Off to the grocery store...hubby had told me to get a cart because the stuff on the list was heavy. Fucking locked grocery carts, never did this before, and I couldn't get it to take the loonie and be free. I tried and tried and then got pissed and said "screw it". When I left the car I had the cloth shopping bags and the car keys in my hands. Picked up his prescription and he hadn't given me enough money for the rest of the stuff he wanted I already knew as the change was just over $15.00. Figured I would just grab the priority items and did some price calculations in my head while doing so, and told the check out lady I only had fifteen bucks so not to ring in higher than that, my math was good and I got back a small amount of change. Get to the car and toss the bags in to discover my car keys were missing.
Back tracked my entire route...not in the trunk where the bags were...not in the area where the "fucking carts live", not at the pharmacy not the isles nor the till. Went back yet again to back track and the pharmacist asks me if I am still looking for my keys...well yeah. Cashier sees me passing by and asks the same question...leaves her till and takes me to the lost and found...lots of keys but not mine. I go back to the car and search the bags dumping everything out again.
Dammit...go back to the pharmacy to ask if I can use the phone to call home. Ask my hub to come and bring me the spare key for the car and he informs me the spare key is on the key ring I lost...
He says he'll come and get me but meanwhile he had customers (said he was busy) and he took forever to come for me. No smokes and pissed off at myself I wait. He shows up and we put the groceries in the truck...he says he will go back in the store and help me look...
As soon as we walk in the cashier shouts "did you find your keys" and is waggling my keys. Yes...yay. An elderly lady had turned then in as she had found them on the dam shopping cart where I obviously left them.
Didn't end there though...get home...it's now three hours later and I am late for chores and the dogs need out. Dear Julio out of character has a vested interest in "something" by the garden. The other dogs are with me and when I call him he comes and I figure he's with us but when I turn around he's back at the garden. He's rubbing his face and rolling around on the ground and acting way strange. Second panic for the day and when I get to him the little buggers face is covered in red ants. Red ants because the object of his interest was a coyote shit consisting of mouse guts and fur really covered in ants that crawled up when he was smelling. Everyone should already know by now bugs Are Not My Friends. They were crawling all over him and I had to pick them off and squish them with my bare hands...that was soooo gross. Like I said ...it's funny now but...what a crappy afternoon. :pale:
