Yesterday was complete and utter insanity. As we were leaving Perryville, I had to run in Walmart to get a few things for my aunt, which was the only stop there. After that we had to make our way to Farmington for a grocery pickup. That was fine, went off without a hitch. After that I had to run into Rural King for some chick starter and to hopefully find an heirloom tomato plant and a few more pepper plants. Well they didn't have the type of heirloom tomato plant that I wanted, so I settled for some yellow cherry tomatoes and a banana pepper plant.
This is where it got terrifying. Last week Starbucks opened in Farmington which is super exciting, but not so much for the employees or the people waiting in a never ending hell that we call a drive thru. I used the mobile app to order, but you still have to use the drive thru to pick it up, which is fine. Well when we arrived, the line was backed up to the road and it stayed that way until we left. I've worked fast food before, I know how terrible it is to be wrapped and literally never get a break.
I'm not joking when I say we were in line for a minimum of 25 minutes. It would've almost been worth it if they had the caramel ribbon crunch, but oh no, they were out. Maybe next time, because the java chip is not worth the price or waiting in line for.
Since we hadn't had White Castle in ages, we decided to get that for dinner. After all, they have a 10 sliders for 5.99 deal going on right now, so totally worth it. Unfortunately the line for WC was almost just as ling. The waiting time there was around 20 or so minutes.
After that, we had the 50 minute drive home. Fun!
All of the chaos aside, we did have 5 baby chicks to come home to! That made it (almost) all worth it. They're so stinking cute too, I just want to squeeze them to death. Unfortunately we couldn't really handle them too much, but today is a different story. Another little one started hatching out last night, but didn't fully hatch until after 9 this morning. He's SO cute and so dark!
All baby chicks are cute, who am I kidding.
Speaking of baby things, while I was un Rural King a group of around 5 people were looking at the baby bunnies. Apparently the youngest girl -- couldn't have been younger than 11 or 12 -- threw a fit when no one would buy her a rabbit. I'm talking full on screaming and crying and stomping off like a 2 year old. I would've been beat if I pulled something like that with my mom. Kids nowadays, so entitled.
In today news, I planted the cherry tomato plant and pepper plant earlier today. They fit right in with the other 48 tomato plants and 8 pepper plants. We have all our cucumbers, okra and half the zucchini planted, so while I was outside I went ahead and planted the other 5 zucchini plants.
I'm not sure what's happening, but all the cucumber plants looks sickly. Some of the okra too, but mainly the cucumbers. I'm worried they're all gonna die out and we're going to end up buying more. I hope that's not the case, but it wouldn't surprise me. And tomorrow and Thursday it's supposed to rain. Not just light drizzles, I'm talking flash flood warning type of rain. It's going to really piss me off if some of our tuff washes out.
Hopefully that doesn't happen, one can always hope and pray. I'm going to leave it at that and share some pics of the baby chicks. Enjoy!
