Frustrated

Today I headed over to Lowe's to pick up the new shower curtain I ordered last month, which had finally arrived.  I didn't take my walker because I planned to use curbside pick-up and then go shopping for food.  I parked in the pick-up slot and dialed the pick-up counter to let them know I was there.  Twelve minutes later I was still waiting for an answer.  There were no carts nearby that I could use to go into the store, so I tried calling Customer Service to see if someone could bring a cart to me.  Four minutes later I gave up on that.  Finally I saw a store employee pushing carts back to the store and, by shouting to get his attention, was able to get a cart and go inside.  Although there was only one person in line ahead of me, I had to wait another five minutes to get to the counter for my pick-up.  So more than 20 minutes to do something that should have taken five at most.

I decided to go to Central Market for my shopping, as I always enjoy being there.  I discovered that when walking in the store I didn't experience any of the hamstring pain I've been having, so I walked for a long time.  It was good to get in some exercise and fresh produce, and be able to photography lovely flowers like these dahlias.
