I'm mad I can't get a tomato out of this grid, OR out of the veggie stand down the street. I stopped to talk with the guy who has the garden, told him those darn tomatoes are taking too long, and he said "Yes, they are!" Soon, yum.

so, I ordered my paint online and got an email it was ready, but when I went to pick it up there was one guy working and he was helping some painters do something, he was on the phone, on the computer...basically I stood there 10 min just to pick up something already ready and then he had the nerve to tell me I should've ordered it yesterday when there was a sale.
5:21 pm
Bugsaw
I would be livid, carla
5:22 pm
hokie carla
like why even mention I missed a sale if you aren't going to say, I'll give it to you anyway

tell him you ordered it yesterday and they took a day to make it and email you
5:23 pm

It won't help but it will make him wonder

I'm watching an incredible documentary on Title IX called 37 Words. It's ESPN but I'm watching on Disney+. So eye-opening and just crazy hard to believe.
