Went to Lowe's all happy about doing some stuff around here. Left crying.
The old dude who was helping me asked if the planter that was leaking was for my marijuana plants. And that made me cry. I don't know why people think I use drugs.
This is not the only other time it happened, but it's one of the more memorable times: When I worked at Spencer Gifts, oh, 11 years ago, Shadow was like, 2 and had been sick all night and I had to be at work at the mall at like, 5 am for Black Friday. I looked like complete and utter shit since I hadn't slept much. Some old lady came in and made some comment about me partying too hard and my manager let her have it. She was like, "This kid won't even touch caffeine! She was up with her child! How dare you!" And it was really nice that someone had my back.
I don't know why it's such a big deal in my head. People can make fun of me for sooo many other things and I won't blink an eye. But that is the one that will really upset me. 😕
