This old gal…
Bragged a little too soon…so proud of herself leaping in like a super hero saving that man from his Progressive commercial fate… But wouldn’t you know…not long after…there she was again at the Post Office…the line as long as long could be… Had several boxes to mail…Christmas boxes…boxes full of Buc-ee goodies…too many boxes to carry by hand so put them in bags…those reusable bags for groceries…didn’t have enough of those so put one box in a plastic sack… Stopped at HEB on the way to the Post Office…pick up essentials…milk…cat food…chicken pot pie…got a little snacky in the checkout aisle decided to toss in some bags of chips…two for a buck…toss toss toss toss toss… Stood in that Post Office line 30 minutes…just standing…not chatting…not scrolling…shuffling those feet forward an inch every so often… Finally made it to the counter and looked down…when what to my wondering eyes should I see?..two bags of boxes and one bag…full of snacky chips… One of us…and she shall remain nameless…grabbed the HEB bag with the chips instead of the other bag with the package and stood there 30 minutes…THIRTY MINUTES…and never noticed it… And so it is…in life…we all have our moments…senior moments…Progressive moments…the omg-I-can’t-believe-I-did-that moments… Embrace them…laugh about them…then move on because more than likely another one will be waiting for you…right around the corner… And that husband of mine…agrees…
