‘The best day’
I waited all weekend for one of my freelancers to send a file.
It never arrived. And yes, I checked my spam.
I did find a sweet surprise in my spam though. Micah! I am so glad you said hello. We DC Bloggers are the best humans. Sending love right back to you!
So I said fuck it and had my Saturday pool/Ross day. Where I had all those signs from Momma.
I did the same Sunday, but headed to Coral Springs to Ross-hop.
Had a few more surprising surprises.
At the second Ross — Mom’s and my favorite, despite (for her) and because of (for me) me falling on my ass in the crosswalk — the door opened automatically.
This is one of those old Rosses where you still use door handles.
Like … IT OPENED when I walked up to it.
I walked five steps in, smiling.
When … and I can’t even believe I saw this with my own eyes … a cart dislodged itself from the corral.
That cart rolled backward and stopped right in front of me.
Dude. There was not a breeze. Not another living soul around for 5 yards in any direction.
So … she opened the door and gave me a cart in the same minute.
Oh but wait, Shamwow fans. There’s more.
I also hit a couple TJ Maxxes.
At the first one, I found the cutest fucking shirt that said, “Look What You Made Me Brew.”
LWYMMD is one of my favorite songs on earth.
Problem was, they only had an XL and I was swimming in it.
Searched the whole store for another, to no avail.
Went to another TJs.
Found two cute shirts, but not that one. I said OK Momma, if it’s here, walk me to it.
I — well, WE! — found the shirt where we didn’t expect it to be at all.
It’s a very perfect-fitting medium.
Like, I would have been happy with an L and that’s what I was hoping for.
But the M fit even better than the two L tops I bought with it.
So, as ever, Momma knows. She knows what I want and what I need, and she managed to get me both.
I’m normally not a medium in real life. But I really felt her absolutely everywhere, laughing with me at all the stupid jokes I haven’t said out loud in years.
It was a good weekend.
The best.
“I had the best day with you today,” Momma. Thank you for that!
“You can say there’s no such thing as Santa.
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.”
Anyone who doesn’t believe there’s a veil and they are on the other side of it … bye.
