I never start anything new on January 1st. No resolutions to do anything better, greater or exercise related. I never stick to them so why bother? I only end up putting pressure on myself. And I hate pressure.
What I will be doing in 2023 is spending more time with myself.
Reading more.
Writing more.
Loving life more.
Joy.
Bliss.
Life.
Happy 2023 everyone.

This is actually 103 and 104.
Monday I am in the aisle helping grocery as they were short staffed. I am happily putting out the order in my own world when a customer walks up to me:
Oh you look just like a woman who needs a kitchen.
I looked at him, looked at the noodles in his hand and said:
Don’t ask me about making soups I don’t do that type of stuff in the kitchen.
He looked at me. Looked at the noodles in his hand and walked away.
Tuesday I was standing in line at checkout 2. Food in one hand. Drink in the other. I was talking with the cashier about to put my food down when a customer walks up and in front of me. Puts her items down.
I stare at the back of her head. Desperately chewing on my tongue so that nothing scathing erupted from my mouth. My eye lids rapidly blinking and I am staring at my co-worker in disbelief. She looks at the customer and says:
I will just take Jay-lyn before you. She was here first.
Customer looks at me and says:
Oh I did not know you were in line.
I said nothing because what do I say?
Are you blind or just ignorant? Entitled? My usual response of no worries remained firmly tucked behind my teeth.
I am not about to start dismissing bad behavior because you are not thinking. Apparently being a customer myself is not allowed.
