Day 2494 I thought the change would do you good?

12th June 2024

Two cents?, that is what can change a day from good to bad.

Kelli had a doctors appointment, another round of resistance testing, supplement sampling and frequency adjustment, with a little bit of joint pulling thrown in.

All this went well, one supplement less and another reduced.

Then it was back to Holland to do the weeks shopping. The first one is Nature’s Market, where all the good food is selected at a premium price. All was going well until we got to the checkout. All the goods were in the paper bags and the total was calculated. At no time was this total mentioned, Kelli handed over the notes and the cashier announced that the change was ninety eight cents. Kelli said that she had the two cents, so could she have a dollar note. By this time the drawer was closed.

“Sorry, the drawer is closed, there is nothing I can do about it”

That was it, Kelli, with a face like thunder stormed out of the store leaving me to face the startled cashier.

“Oops” I said, slightly embarrassed by the scale of the confrontation. I also had to struggle with two bags of shopping.

She was angry, there was no reason why the drawer could be re opened and the change altered, but maybe due to inexperience the girl didn’t know what to do.

Anyway that put the mockers on things as we drove to the next place. I tried to make light of the situation, but it fell on deaf ears.

I even said that I would look for something that cost ninety eight cents so she could use up the change, but that was met with a stern look.

After a little while she settled back and without any issues at this checkout we drove home.

We finally sold the small dresser that had three different drawer handles in its short life. We were glad to see the back of it.

We also sold the finished the century dresser that was picked up by the customer that had commissioned us.

So a day of different emotions, “love is a battle field” queue for a song.
