I couldn't even estimate the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars I counted and faced for night deposit drops. I was good at it, but there was one old-timer who was a legend for being able to just riffle the notes in a stack and come up with a correct amount. No matter what we do, there is almost always someone who has done more or better.

Grocery store visits. I’ve visited a grocer at least once a week for almost 50 years. In the last few years, I’ve visited a grocery store twice a week, every week, except for vacations.

You know, grocery stores are kind of boring.

Fill the tank up with gas. Used to drive 50 miles one way to work. Tons of overland travel.

Made meals. I now HATE TO COOK.

I swear I could live on 7-11 food if my husband wasn't around. He is a 3-meals-a-day guy. Ugh.

Posted on C-D, Facebook, etc. Changed passwords. Ignored unrecognized phone calls. Cleaned the cat's litter box.

Sometimes not doing something counts as much as doing something.
That must have been annoying, I gave blood yesterday and sometimes my blood has a hard time starting to flow (might have a high platelet count it's been mentioned but I don't know why this is) and it took another Red Cross person to come over and finally get it flowing. The first lady said "you might have a small bruise, I'm so sorry" and I kept telling her its not her fault, but she kept apologizing and I'm always impressed and grateful for nurses and other medical personnel because their job is not an easy one, and they usually do it very well, in addition to dealing with the stress of the job. They don't get enough recognition, IMO.

Kudos to you for always being professional.

I am a consumer and do not work in the biz.
I love screw tops.
