surgery rescheduled.

Now I get to wait again. Doctor says I have to wait the two weeks before surgery. But with my schedule and hers it turns out to be June 11. I guess getting a summer job is out of the question.

In my schedule for surgery today was grocery day. I even got Sharon's list so I wouldn't have to go twice. That's out. I spent my day rescheduling appointments for myself and Pat, and the craft class at the library.

I decided to try grocery pick up. You pick your groceries online, pay for them, and the happy person runs out and puts them in the car. It gets me away from Pat and it's useful. The fee is $4.95, but first timers get free. 

 

I started with Giant. I had to make an account. A half-hour later I couldn't figure out how it worked. Epic design fail. I didn't want to look at every item in the store. I really wanted a search bar. So then I tried Rednor's. 

There's was much better, but it still took forever. They had category is and sub categories and I even figured out how to search by brand. But everything is helter skelter. For example Sharon wanted Raisin Bran. I picked Grocery, then Breakfast. On each page there was a box of Raisin Bran. But not the plain old 100-year-old version. Frustrating and time consuming. It was taking as long to shop online and I was getting zero exercise.

I just had produce to do, and the phone rang. It was the doctor with the bad news. Pat had an appointment at the urologist tomorrow, and I had to cancel and change that. Then the derm called. A half hour later I went to contiue shopping and everything was gone.

I had a meltdown.

I re-did it. It went much smother. I couldn't find a place to put my card number so I probably paid full price for everything. I finally went to check out and I couldn't get a time slot today.

I had another meltdown.

I really want to make brownies. And eat the entire pan.

update 4/21:

Today I picked up my order. Some items were out of stock. They charged me the $4.99 ppick-up fee. The first order was supposed to be free. I forgot some stuff.

Pick up was contactless. I pulled into the space, called the number and they said they'd be out in a few minutes. It was about five. It was raining so I watched her come out. I didn't want to pop the trunk too soon and get everything wet. 

I saw her come out the door with a cart ... FULL OF PLASTIC BAGS! My grocery order was an eco-nightmare.

My colleague told me that Giant really is easy. The key is to log in first. I tried it today, and I had much better choices. Not just ad stuff. She also told me that their groceries are packed in old-school paper bags. I need to make friends with the Giant app.
