Grocery shopping and multiplicity - thought some of you would get a laugh out of this.

I was in the grocery store picking up some odds and ends for dinner tonight. There was only one register open. Seven or eight people in line when I joined it. The cashier was working hard, trying to be fast and staying pleasant. Another young man stepped behind him and was helping to speed things along bagging groceries. By the time my items were being rung up, there were nine people behind me. Some of our younger selves were unhappy - we didn't like being around all these stressed people in a senseless situation.

One of our guardians grabbed the body, turned in the direction of the manager's office, inhaled, and bellowed loud enough to be heard across a football field. "HEY! OPEN ANOTHER REGISTER!"

The employees couldn't stop grinning, several people in line yelled "yeah!" "that's right!", and the cashier was so delighted he dug out some complaint forms (with free postage!) to pass out to people in line.

stupid DID still

I thought I was doing a lot better than I am...since my mom died in december, I haven't experienced the kind of blackouts that come with dissociating. I've been getting a full range of emotions. Apparently, I'm not all better yet, though.

Just found out tonight that 22 days ago I called for a free anemia kit (I'm at risk being diabetic and hypertensive). That's what the operator told me when I tried to call for a free anemia kit today. I have no recall of doing it.

At least I didn't go buy something and find out the money is gone later!

Still, I'm hoping this is just a result of being run down, and school being ever oppressive/stressful and the emotional overload of grieving my mom.

Not happy tho.
