I Will Lose My Mind.
You might not be surprised to learn this, but I’m really awful at math. And especially the sort of math that requires me to figure out how many Jelly Jars I need to buy for 204 six packs and then source them from four different locations and have them all arrive in the store on the same day. Actually, that sounds like a word problem that I would have wildly guessed at and gotten wrong in 7th grade math class. So at least some things never change.
And so it was little surprise this morning when we realized that yesterday, only half of the hundreds of jars I ordered from Amazon had arrived. The other half were “in transit” from Amazon via the United States Postal Service, which could mean ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING POSSIBLE. Have you ever called the post office and asked if 10 large boxes marked “FRAGILE” were on their way for delivery? Don’t. They don’t know the answer.
At any rate, they all finally arrived. Tomorrow we will ship out the final round to meet our 1,124 jar goal, so let’s all collectively pray we actually do have enough or I WILL LOSE MY MIND.
Here’s just a few other items of note:
We will be closed next Monday for Memorial Day. At PJP Buttonwood, we were closed on Mondays and so our schedule didn’t change for holidays. It just happened to occur to me a few days ago that it now impacts us and as someone who has worked a minimum of six days a week since September, I’m sorta excited for a day wherein I’m forced to do nothing.
But I would like to go to Home Goods. Except none are open and it is about to break my heart.
Though, if you want to know how quarantine is going down in my house (minus going to PJP), Behind-The-Scenes Jason spends all sorts of free time buying and selling stocks. And I spend all sorts of time on Wayfair. I actually just told him he should buy some Wayfair stock because whenever I put stuff in my cart and then go back to look at it the next day, whatever it was has sold out because everyone is decorating their houses for lack of anything else to do. He said that wasn’t a theory to buy stock on. Whatever.
So I didn’t even mention Sephora. Because if he won’t base stock decisions off pretty new dinner plates, he totally won’t care about the new matte lipstick I just ordered. So sad. (But the plates are fantastic.)
But I did mention there isn’t a brown kraft paper bag in the dimension of our pie box available anywhere in America because of the increase in takeout food service. So he is looking at bag company stock. Sounds right.
