My Sympathies, Bad Day People
Today has been a day in which lots of unpleasant things happened. Otherwise known as a bad day, but I really don't like blaming the day - poor thing didn't do anything - and besides, other people have it worse off and have more of a right to call it a "bad day" than I do. I did manage to get some important paperwork turned in to their new official owners, though! And I finished off a great meal, so it wasn't a total loss. Then again, a good meal at the end of a long, hard day always makes me perk up.
First off, I would like to acknowledge those who are far worse off than I am at the moment. Namely, all those people on the other side of town who don't have power at the moment. In this heat! Then the really nice lady, K. Poor K. She stopped by with her young son today, then... well, her transaction crashed our computers. *BOOM!* Down they go for a good twenty minutes while we all shuffle around and try to get them fixed. I took the opportunity to put away some stock and exchange smiles with one of our new girls, who is really quite sweet. But poor K was stuck in the store, her son running around and trying to entertain himself as children do. I love how no one minded at Clovers - let kids be kids! So she finally leaves, thanking us after all the trouble our computers put her through... and comes back three hours later. Her wallet missing. All her cards gone.
Yeah. Compared, my day was pleasantly busy and not at all bad. I managed to crack open a few more of our magazines and learn a bit more about potentially helpful foods, exercises, and supplements, as usual. Came home and made some shrimp, tossed in brown rice flour, salt, and five spice seasoning. Put them on a bed of fresh cut napa. It was very yum.
Oh! And this morning for breakfast I had a bowl of yogurt with oatmeal and bananas on top of it. Why is this such big news? Because almost every Flickr account or blog I've been connected to through the You Grow Girl! forums has pictures of vanilla yogurt, with oatmeal and berries on top! I felt I was missing out! 'Course, for me, bananas have to go on - the poor man's berry! I even took pictures that I can show you, or upload to my non-existent Flickr account, simply to follow along with everyone else in the urban growing organic local food buying community.
... in my defense, my yogurt was free.
