Grocery shopping had to be done, the same products every time. No deviation.
I'm okay with no deviation; I just think if the 21st-century glory of ordering online and paying a fee to let some golden god pick your groceries for you, bag them, and load them into your car, well, that's something we should take advantage of. It will lighten the load just a bit.
(I promise you this: it WILL happen. We [bros and SiLs] just need to discuss it. In fact, Jack doesn't need to be a part of the discussion, because he doesn't even go to the grocery store himself any more with Tim, and he hasn't for over a year. So he wouldn't know if we shopped or if we just let some nice Kroger employee load pre-selected bags into our trunk.)
This fucking year. I'm just worn out from worrying because I can't fix things and I can't just make things happen.
As others have said to me, it hurts to see other people learning this frustration.
Oh, it's always been one of my greatest frustrations (my Theory of Mind is also kind of crappy for an adult, so that doesn't help) -- I'm practical and wish I could just FIX things, with my own hands. But I can't, and that frustrates me.
It's just that this year is a concentrated stream of Ha Ha Here Is More Shit You Can't Fix But Can Only Endure Enjoy 2016 Sucker. It's annoying when it's just one particular circumstance I can't fix, but it's basically impossible for me to cope when it's one fucking thing after another.
