Today was an errand day, and I’m so grateful my daughter came along with me. There’s something about having company that makes all those necessary but tedious tasks feel so much more manageable.
I got up, did my morning routine, and my daughter and I both took a shower before we headed out. We had a list of places to hit, and everything was going smoothly until I got to the first store and my card kept getting declined. Talk about embarrassing. I was standing there at the register while the cashier tries it multiple times, other customers waiting behind me, that familiar heat creeping up my neck.
I had to make the walk of shame back to my car to call the bank and figure out what was going on. Turns out it was just a security hold, easily fixed, but in the moment it felt mortifying. At least my daughter was there to roll her eyes and remind me that these things happen to everyone.
Once I got the card issue sorted, I went back in and completed my purchase like nothing had happened. That’s the thing about embarrassing moments. They feel huge when you’re in them, but they pass.
When we got home, my daughter helped me get the trash and recycling out, and then we put away all our purchases together. Those little moments of teamwork always make me appreciate having her around, especially on days when my energy needs to be carefully managed.
Errands accomplished, embarrassment survived, and grateful for good company through it all. 💜
The dogs are snoring. I’m signing off. See you tomorrow. 💜
