Everything but the sync

Man, yesterday I must have been struck dumb, I just couldn't sync with the universe.

Remember those shoes I said were the wrong size? Well apparently the store partakes in Vanity Sizing because the size on the shoe and the box is not the actual size. The manager of the store showed me where the shoe size is and they were the correct ones I asked for and tried on. My apologies to the sales girl. But then I asked for a half size bigger as they seemed tight - was it all in my head? Then I didn't realize a detail on the inner side and thought he was giving me the wrong ones, he should know - he works there! Then I put the shoes into the bag, but he still needs to scan them.... what was I thinking? I made it all so awkward.

Then we are in another store and I think I see our friendly Canada Postman - so I ask JP and he questions my ability to recognize faces... when I see the guy straight on later in the store, I realize it was not him of course.

We go into another store and the kid is just sitting in the back seat, so I think we are leaving him in the car, so I lock the door. Just then JP is about to open the door to get the kid out of the car and it's locked. "What is wrong with you? What are you thinking?" he asks. (except he includes a swear word)

And I ponder the answer. What am I thinking ? ...besides how I wish I had brought along some knitting or crochet, or how I wanted to work out when we got home, or how I didn't want to stop at 9 different stores.... Maybe I should've stayed home. Or maybe I need to get out more?

Do you ever have a day where you just don't seem to click with anyone?

To answer your question, yes. Although less of them now.

It is your brain dealing with "structural tension." You are doing things you really don't want to do and your brain is working on the problem. I'd listen to you.

Oh thank you. That's a good explanation. I am going to remember that!

Did you solve it by doing more things you want?
