Klutz of the Day Award

-
Who can top walking into a two-sided movie rack so hard that nearly all 132 DVD cases plus their 132 display covers scatter into the aisles on both sides?

 The poor Family Video workers looked over from the checkout desk in time to see me hugging an emptied rack trying to stop the rocking.

 Then awkward silence.

 I'm left standing there stupidly holding two DVD cases that I had heroically saved from hitting the floor.

 "I am soooo, soooo, soorrrry!"  

 They were tremendously gracious to me. They rushed over, laughed it off, and quickly began restocking the shelves while I stood by not sure if I should attempt to help.

 "I saved two DVDs for you."

 They ignored my comment and kept stocking.

 I asked if I was the first person to do that. Sadly, no. Once, a man having an epileptic attack took down several racks full of DVDs.

 Somehow, that didn't make me feel any better...

 So, please, somebody, anybody, tell me you can top my klutziness of the day so I can stop replaying this terrible scene on a loop in my brain.

I’m excited to begin my Fruitive Challenge today! It’s a big leap of faith because I had never imagined myself committing to a 100% Whole Foods Plant Based diet! But here I am doing it.

Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

Shipt!

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
