My Monday , the last day of February 2022
Well the day started out when I reached out to turn off my CPAP machine and my glasses jumped off the stand and hid. I swear I heard them giggling while I was trying to find them.
Also, my internet was out. Again.
My sister Rita happened to be in town and she came by and crawled around on my floor patting the carpet and moving stuff around, instead of me doing it for the thousandth time. Or was it the millionth?
She didn't have it easy finding them, although I think the only giggles she heard were ours, at the ridiculous situation.
But she did find them, in a place that had been checked multiple times.
But she did it!
Yay Rita!
Now that I have my glasses again, I can get started on today's life, which was going to laundromat and grocery store and pharmacy.
I went to Marathon laundromat in Mt Orab because they are a better value laundromat and because I have prescriptions to pick up at Kroger's, which is across the road. I can get it all done.
Because of that I had to use two smaller washers, so I ran out of money.
No biggie, I'll go to the ATM at the attached Marathon Mart. What a joke.
The ATM is not being serviced.
They don't do cash back at the register, either.
I don't get to dry my clothes. At least not here and now. Unless I want to leave my laundry and my parking space.Guess I'll stop off in Bethel to do that job. My luck, their ATM will also not be working.
I was running out of belief in my day.
I should have stayed in bed when my glasses went into hiding, and my internet was gone.

When I went to Kroger, I decided I may as well shop since I needed to Cashback. (ATM costs @$5, Cashback is fifty cents). So after I have cashed out and put my card away, the girl tells me she is running a cashless register.
I have to take my receipt to customer service to get my $20.
At customer service there was a line (of course) and the person right in front of me was buying money orders - you know how time consuming that can be- and then his bank wouldn't do the card transaction the way it was supposed to. "This is why I buy money orders," he said. (Been there done that.)
So I came home, my clothes still wet, and put groceries away. My clothes shouldn't mildew overnight, and if they do, I'll just have to figure it out.
And when I got home, I still had no internet . I am in an outage. Yay me.
At least this time I have data and telephone.
When I came out of Kroger's, I couldn't find my car. I walked right to where I had parked it and there was this shiny almost black car sitting there.
So I walked around the other lanes, went back to store and walked back out to the same spot where I had parked it.And it was there this time!
I owe Hailey a big apology. My car really does look completely different when you approach it from the passenger side. (She made the same mistake once when I picked her up at school.)
But I had no need to look for the helpers, because they were looking out for me. At the laundromat, in the store, and several times in the parking lot.
That makes it, overall, a very good day.
