Just call me Igor

I had this for about a week and a half a week prior but it had cleared up until last night.

I went grocery shopping last night for the few necessities we needed like milk, tea, etc. at Wal-heck. I was there forever for just about 12 items. The lines were, of course, 5 people deep, and I picked the slow lane. *D'oh!*

When I get to the register, the lady proceeds to double bag all my cold items. I live 6 blocks from the store, so I asked her nicely not to double-bag them, which she did. But I still have to complain because she double-bagged oddly. Ok, when I was a cashier at Walheck, you would sack and then put that sack inside another sack after you had filled it. It was much quicker. But no, this lady put the bag inside the other bag which required both of her hands to put items in the sack. So she was totally doing the one hand thing. You know, scan it...put it in the bag...scan another item...put it in the bag. Back in my day, and it's not that long ago...maybe 9 years ago, I would have been reprimanded and eventually let go for that. You had to be able to multitask. You scanned with your right hand and bagged with your left.

So, by the time I got done shopping, standing in line, checking out, walking to the car, loading the groceries in the trunk, and returning the cart to the cart corral, I am Igor again. I have this pinching in my hip where my leg meets my hip. By the time I got home and unloaded groceries with B's help and fixed my dinner plate (B cooks on most nights--what a sweetie!), I was in so much pain. I really wanted to cry. I had to ask him to bring me back some more rice because just the thought of hobbling to the kitchen hurt. I'm feeling better today after working on it with the massager and using Blue Emu (this stuff is awesome by the way because you can wear it anytime, anywhere, and it doesn't smell). However, I think I'm probably going to go ahead and talk to the OB about massage therapy.

Igor out!
