caithreamOkay so: the 4th of July? Busiest day in my store for the entire year. We're a small store, no drive through, and this year we're expected to have at least 800 customers for just that day alone. It's because we're a store right on Main Street in a cute little downtown area, and a parade and all kinds of shenanigans go right past us.
No, just kidding, we'll be well over 800 people, because the day after we did our big store order (aka, the day when we order all our 5lb bags of coffee that we brew throughout the week), Starbucks announces the 4th is ~free tall coffee day. Do you remember how my last free tall coffee day went? Because I remember how my last free tall coffee day went. And this time it's going to suck even more.
I can't wait to coldly smash people's whiny delusions that they can substitute it for a free iced tall coffee, though. It's the little things.
I was in charge of ordering our milks, pastries, and cups though, so aaaahhhh I hope I got enough. Probably not. We'll have to do at least one milk run, I'm sure.
So yes, tomorrow I work 4:30am-12pm, though, lulz, I don't expect to get out of the store before 1:30. Relatives are coming over to our house for yummy eats, though, so I'll try to duck out as soon as I can. Prayer circle for me pls.
My mom is doing marginally better. A friend of the family dropped off a walker, and she's getting by pretty well with that. She accidentally bent a little too far over this morning though, and that almost completely set her back. I feel so so terrible. I was in tears and begging her to let me take her to the hospital this morning it was so bad. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
And thanks for the well-wishes about the (hopefully) new job! I'm about 2/3 done with the manuscript, and I hope the only reason it's taking so long is because it's aaaaawful. I feel terrible about it taking this long as I wanted to do a really really good job for my (hopefully) new boss on my very first go.
Also, we sold my mom's '92 Camry today to a single mom who was so grateful she sent us a thank you card. We're sad to see it go, since that car has a lot of memories from when I was growing up, but it's for a good cause.
Okay, time to get ready for bed even though I'll barely sleep because I'll be to anxious about tomorrow. Wah.
