Because Sometimes You will hit a Speed bump going too fast
I have found a great therapy for singles out there who sometimes get frustrated or a little down about their situation. To top it off, it’s completely free!
GO GROCERY SHOPPING! Yes, you did read this right. Just hear me out. I have been getting a lot of very good advice lately about how to get back out there and what to do, but this is something that I can speak about with good understanding.
I was recently having one of those “feeling sorry for myself” weekends. I won’t go into the details because they are really not important but I was living it up at the pity party. As good as I have been doing over the past few months, every now and again I hit a bump in the road and this was one of them.
Anyway, I don’t usually hit the grocery store on the weekends. I will try to avoid it like the plague. All those people, the rude elderly ones especially, and the screaming kids? No thanks. However, I knew I had a busy week ahead of me and it needed to be done.
Well, within 5 minutes in the store, I believe it was in aisle 4; I got the best therapy I have received to this day. As I was navigating my way down the aisle, I encountered a husband and wife having a VERY public argument. I know, I shouldn’t benefit from their misery, but these public displays are one of my pet peeves. I don’t want to get too far off topic, but if you are going to do this type of thing out in public and make everyone around you uncomfortable, it’s your own damn fault.
Back to the therapy session. Seriously, the husband wanted to buy some chips. The wife said the kids would eat the chips too quickly and they would be gone. The husband told the wife that she should just control and monitor the portions the kids eat. Well, as you might expect, it went WAY downhill from there.
At this point, I was grinning from ear to ear and had my cell phone out to call a friend. Laughing out loud, I told her why that was the best therapy I could get. You see, as much as I don’t really like being alone sometimes, you couldn’t pay me to go back to that!!!!!!
Her advice to me……Take a trip to Home Depot. The marital spats there are even more entertaining!
