McD Coffee Happy Face |
Where have I been this last week is blurry with feeling overwhelmed by the deep clean out I am once again engaged in. Today is a mish mosh of tasks and errands. Out early for my update on a tetanus shot, I decide to treat myself to a coffee and donut!
Didn't happen.
In the age of technology, ordering take out changes.
There I am waiting for a coffee and donut for what felt like over 10 minutes (probably less). The two in front of me were there even longer. I'm finally at the counter ready to order. Instead, the clerk leaves me waiting to order; and goes to prepare more mobile orders. I waited a few more minutes, then left, drove up the road, and had my food and coffee in less time than I spent in line waiting for a donut.
What's ironic is that I went inside to order because the drive thru line takes far too long, like half an hour long. It's no wonder folks use the app to order. All of the clerks were super busy. No slacking going on there.
One problem is that there is a lack of help. A few years ago at the end of the pandemic, many folks didn't return to work. I don't know what has happened since then that causes a shortage of fast food help to continue.
As it is, up and about early in the morning is a big time reason to take a mid morning nap. Out before 8 AM, get home before 9 AM, the yawning will begin before 10 AM. There is no coffee/caffeine I know of that will stop a mid morning nap when I've been out before 8 AM except for will power. I can't afford to waste the energy I have with dozing off. In a couple of hours, I have errands to do. If I sleep, it would take twice as long to feel up to doing all the packing up and such. I'm not leaving this chair.* I might doze off and tumble onto the floor, but I will take the chance. Based on my naps in chair experience, I'm confident I will remain upright.
The cardinal is at the bird seed. Cold temperatures brings the birds out more. There are more chickadees this year.
Have a wonderful day!
*Yawns were too heavy to chance the chair.
Sofa snooze until after noon time. I only slept about 3 or 4 hours last night.
Needed the rest.
