Just found out today is National Grouch Day.

Who makes these up?

How is your day going, mine is good so far.

My complaint of the day is just the weather.

Weather app here in PA shows partly sunny and it's been cloudy all day and now

somewhat dark.

Of course, I have some laundry hanging outside.

Oh well, at least it's not Monday anymore, half thru the week.

Seems like I've dealt with grouches for over two weeks.

Oh well, I suppose things could be worse.

Ok, this explains my morning! Started my day with a trip to the grocery store; out and back in 50 minutes. I only shop at IGA because the store is always the same, they don't shift stuff around like Kroger and WalMart. I write my list in order, zip thru, get my stuff and head for home.

Today there are 8 cars in the parking lot, so the store isn't busy yet. I can't get to my usual favorite parking spot because a woman has taken up 2 spaces by not parking within the lines. The few shoppers inside the store were "the strollers", which is what I call the shoppers who take their time going down the center of each aisle while looking at everything on both sides and who may or may not be talking on their cell phone, but are always oblivious to other shoppers around them!

I know I look like a mini tornado from the time I walk into the store until I walk out, but my goal is to knock out the task ASAP and be done with it. I don't block aisles or hold anyone up, don't stand and stare at the meat counter like it's a Christmas catalog when other people are around me, and I don't go against the usual traffic pattern in the store.

I just need to get myself there before 10:00 to avoid the strollers!
