April 10th: InstaHell

InstaHell

I lived my own personal Hell today
I set it up for myself
chose to try my hand at Instacart
took the plunge, why not, a girls gotta eat
chose a 30+ item shopping list as my first, in a store I've never been in 
at peak shopping time

how innocent I once was, two hours ago...

dodging up and down aisle's
retracing steps
moving my mini-cart out of the way of other frantic, stressed shoppers
seeking, oh I was seeking
the last item on the Priority list:
Brach's Easter Jelly Bird Eggs

There had been training, oh yes, but never really enough for a 2… Bingbingbingbing! Thwack! Thwack! Bingbing! Thwack! The great thunder of the Paddle Buttons only added to the cacophony. Well, he’d give it his best. Even as ...
