I probably won't write a lot tonight, my hand is very sore.
I was standing next to the truck holding some candy. The driver opened the door, onto my hand. He was very sorry but the bruising and pain remain. I forgive him, of course, but my hand hurts.
So, we got up early. I did my shower and most of my God Time. We went to the warehouse which did NOT have the water they had promised. They had a partial case of the wrong size water, and a whole lot of the "don't sell" water. Brands the customers hate.
Ron had a tantrum. I got the drinks he felt we needed and the snacks I felt I needed, for instance, more of the "Red, white, and cherry" patriotic pop-tarts. They have been very popular.
I was irritated to find they were out of "Brekfuss" as one of my customers calls the peanut butter crackers. Damn. Sorry, lady. I tried. They also only had one case of multi pack Nestle candy bars, also very popular (it has an assortment of Nestle candy bars).
I know some of you worry I don't care for myself. I just had a lovely half hour hiatus with Torbie in my lap. She's so soothing and such a gorgeous cat, inside and out, silky to the pet, and sweetest ever. I'm so glad she picked me out.
Anyway, I got what I could. As I approached the truck, candy in hand (to put into the cab because chocolate would melt in the sun), the driver opened the door and smacked my hand, bruising a knuckle on my right middle finger. He apologized, I forgive him, but oh, it's unpleasant to type.
Not as bad as last winter, when I dropped that case of bottled water on my finger. Ooh.
We got to work, I unloaded. I stocked. I serviced the coffee vending machine. I helped Ron, but he didn't need much help. Things have been slow. I had a complaint about a machine and I fixed it. We paid a couple of refunds. All in all, a pretty average day.
We had a long wait to go home. I was tired, so I laid down on the bench and put my head in Ron's lap. I didn't care if people thought I looked "lazy". It wasn't a perverted position, but a weary one. I got up after about 15 minutes, feeling more energized, and our ride came.
I was able to tell one of our drivers today about BARC's low cost spay and neuter clinic. https://barchoustonblog.com/spay-neuter-prices/ I think it's really important to get the animal fixed at a young age so you don't end up with dozens. If an animal starts breeding, you can have a big problem, fast.
We came home and I took a nap for a while. Ron had asked "our" driver to go buy him vodka, and given him money. The guy bought him a liter and a half of vodka. Nothing good can come from such a purchase.
I don't know why someone who called Ron "a major alcoholic" would ever consider enabling him. I don't complain because, if the guy stopped, Ron would just find someone else who would probably charge him more money. I have learned that much in my experience with Al-anon.
After Ron got his "precious", he put it away, and we waited on the ride to take us out to dinner. A hamburger place. I love hamburgers. I would rather have a hamburger than a steak, any day.
The driver got there eventually and we got there. We ate our burgers and had just enough time to enjoy them before our ride home. I know Ron had worked very hard making phone calls to ensure that would happen.
We came home and I got the order numbers for some supplies I need to get from the wholesaler. We have to do a "will-call" pickup for some coffee cups and vending machine hot chocolate. I may also get some French Vanilla if Ron OK's it.
Once I finished that, I was done for the day. I don't go to work until Thursday.
I got on Facebook and had a little fun, then came here to do my blog. Not a bad length for a bad hand!
I hope it is less painful tomorrow.
