The day was mostly cloudy. The ground was wet and muddy after the rain overnight. The wind felt cool when I went out walking. I took a meandering route to the pharmacy and then around a few block radius using back alleys, sidewalks and parking lots. I checked out the huge magnolia in front of the bank. The buds closest to the brick wall of the building have bloomed. those closest to the sidewalk and street will be opening in the next week or so.
Today was brought to me by The Case of the Missing Purchases. I did a pick up order from the grocery store. After putting everything away at home, I realized that the oats I'd ordered were no where to be found. I checked the receipt to be sure they had been included and there was a charge for them. They were not in the back of the car either. So, I phoned and they found the bag of oats in a different bin. I've not had that occur before, even though I expect things get a bit crazy where they are pulling all the orders together. The other purchase today was a prescription. Once I got back t the house, I realized that they had given me a 60 day supply when it should have been for 90 days. I called back and they are fixing that error and I will need to go back to pick the extra 30 day supply. Again, things can happen when people are distracted. Today that means that the time allotted to do the purchase pick ups has to be doubled -- more even if I count the time to check receipts and make phone calls. Other plans have to be shifted or I have to get things done in less time. I wish there was some acknowledgement of this from the vendors.
What I found today when tracking down lost purchases is that much as it could be useful, there is no inter-dimensional portal in the car or my book bag. <grin> Errors occur, but I did find it interesting that the only two purchases made today each had an error. The song shared today came to mind and made me giggle a bit. Keep safe. Enjoy!
