Follow the Tea

Clif Martin tells of his escapades at Meijer, so I will too. First, the lights started blinking on and off;💡 I realized I hadn't gotten my tea, so I huffed and puffed as I did a power walk I hadn't intended to take,🏃‍♀️across many acres and back to the check-out lane. This was a SIZABLE BOTTLE OF TEA.🏺 

I even asked the clerk if I, in fact, had everything, and her answer was yes. The greeter had to open the door for me, as the power was completely out by this time, and I had to push🏋️‍♀️ the second door open. Got out into the blustery🌪️ night and heard fire engine🏍️👩‍🚒👨‍🚒 sirens. 


Got home, and after all was said and done, NO TEA!

💦Started out stretching and picturing today as a leisurely get-ready time to eventually go to Yoga. So, get a text about picking up Leela, and when I get to her preschool I pat a little curly blonde girl on the head, 👧which is covered with an identical hood and hear from a teacher, "Yes, they DO look alike." 

After I get Leela back to her house, Mama is glad I brought the REAL Leela home. 

At Yoga,🧘‍♀️ our instructor 🧘‍♂️concludes that all our body parts have numbers on them, which is kind of a different experience, but we're all calmed out. However, this feeling soon passes, when I try to solve 🔎 the mystery of the missing cell phone, which has somehow landed in the parking lot close to the car.🚘 

I discover Leela's stuff in the car and text about that, as I get my Tea,which has been held hostage at Meijer.

 Get her stuff back to a somewhat bewildered dad. Head for the chicken place, and since they're only a drive-up by now, I have to TELL her I'm a senior,👵 at their speaker phone. Get to the window, give her the money, get the dinners, feel a sense of urgency from the car behind me, (psychic impression, I guess) as the clerk seems to be taking a lot of time; I look at the package and think, what am I waiting for? I've got it! It becomes apparent that what I'd been waiting for is my money, 💰that is, AFTER driving away.

So, get back in line to get back my "change".💵 She says, she hadn't been able to catch up with me, but I think there's no doubt in her mind that I'm a senior, even though my life has been pretty much like this as far back as I can remember.🕰️
