Molly's Doctor Appointment

Molly had her yearly doctor appointment.

Same stats as always. Small.

She is consistently at the .1 percentile for height and weight.

But she is consistent, which is what matters.

Nothing else much happened today.

My best friend from high school, Rachel, gave me a call out of the blue to say hi.

It is nice to have friends.

I also had to do some night grocery shopping after the kids went to bed.

I usually don't like doing it at night, but it wasn't so bad tonight.

My one regret was not helping the guys in front of me.

There were two guys in the checkout in front of me.

They definitely didn't look rich by any means.

And based on what was in their cart, they had just moved in somewhere.

Basics, measuring cups and spoons, a knife, cutting board, a few basic food items.

They separated their cart into two transactions.

One guy paid half, the other paid half.

The first went through fine, the second's card was denied.

He looked embarrassed.

The first guy came to scrounge his wallet to cover for the first guy.

They barely found the money to get through.

I watched and almost pulled out my card and just stuck it in to pay for their groceries.

But I didn't.

I guess I felt a little weird pushing them aside to put my card in ther slot.

I keep telling use of, "if I had enough cash, I would have just given it to the cashier."

And I hope I would have had the guts to do it.

I wish I wasn't scared to help.
