Today I did something I thought I never would, go get my glasses tightened. I’ve never been one to do anything about little problems like my glasses falling down my nose or my pants brushing the ground instead I ignore them. My eyesight is getting worse, so now I pretty much wear them every day. My glasses slip off my nose 74836522319804 times a day. Warby Parker is less than a 10-minute drive away, but why would I go there. The thought of that sounds daunting. If I’m running an errand it can’t just be for one thing. That doesn’t feel productive it feels interruptive. Because Warby Parker isn’t in my normal 2-mile radius I didn’t think I would ever get there. Today I did something crazy. I overcame the after-school slump and drove to Warby Parker despite my thinking of turning around at least three times. I got there and there was a parking situation so I almost left, but I persevered. After a few minutes, my glasses were tightened. Ta-da! They feel so much better maybe I will wear them all the time.
This morning I convinced myself that I was going to complete 3 daunting errands. Warby Parker, USPS, and Tom Thumb.
After Warby Parker, I drove to the post office to collect my mail. It took a little bit and I got more junk mail than fun stuff, but yay it was over!
Then I had to go get my medicine from Tom Thumb, but why would I go there just for that? So I got some groceries, and of course, forgot the important things I needed to catch the fly in my apartment that has been driving me crazy. The problem with this 2-for-1 stop and shop of Tom Thumb meds and groceries is that I can never decide what order to go in. Get my meds then shop around, get my groceries then get my meds, get my meds in the drive-through, I can never tell which is best. I decided to get my groceries first. My arms hurt from carrying everything. I went to self-checkout and could see the pharmacy in the distance waiting for me. I couldn’t do it, I had way too much to carry and just couldn’t keep going. I got to my car and convinced myself to go through the drive-through, so I got my meds.
I’m not sure what I meant by all of this but I’m exhausted and adulting is dumb.
