Dollar Tree Shopping Adventure! :) We enjoyed a nice car ride over to the shopping center :) You all were with us in spirit :) it's a beautifully sunny day :) We love seeing all of the nature sights along the journey to the store :) Lots of happy birds out and about today, and there's spring flowers like daffodils beginning to blossom :) It's a pure joy ,seeing all of the nature sights :) We arrived at the shopping center, and parked our car :) Holly and i wore our kn95 masks :) my mom and dad went into the rent-a-center place, they do lots of business with the rent-a-center, with household appliance rentals :) Even some gifts they have gotten for family members have come from rent-a-center :) they met up with Holly and i in the dollar tree :) We got some shopping carts, a basket, and began to browse around :) they have lots of Easter, and spring items, gardening supplies :) our dollar tree is currently out of stock, for suet cakes, but we hope some are back in stock soon :) We bought some jelly beans, and peppermint candies :) We love the red bird variety peppermints :)

We were enjoying browsing around :) We bought a greeting card, and also looked at the hotwheels, and writing supplies aisle :) Holly bought some markers, and i bought a new notepad :) i get lots of use, from my notepads, i use the front and back of the papers :) We were enjoying shopping, browsing around :) We looked at the arts and crafts aisle, and went to the pet foods/treats aisle :) We bought some temptations treats for Tiger :) We continued to browse around, and went on the foods, snacks, and candy aisle :) i bought some buttersnaps pretzels, we also bought some brown rice, cinnamon raisin bagels, crackers, and also got some candy, including fruit flavored tootsie rolls, fruit chews, and caramel creams :) Holly bought some Arizona green tea :)We finished up shopping, and went to the checkout :) we all checkd out together :) it went really well, and smoothly :) after we were all set, and checked out, we walked outside into the sweet march sunshine, and felt a great sense of continued joy, and accomplishment :)We rocked it, with a nice shopping adventure ,and experience :) We put our items into our car, and began our journey home :)

We saw some more nice nature sights on the way home :) Tiger girl loves to greet us when we arrive home, she's so happy and loves her treats :) Awww :) it was nice shopping :) We're very happy and excited about the great items we bought :) there was one issue though ,that affected me on one of the aisles i the store. i usually do well, with social interactions best i can, but what happened was, there's a long time worker there, who has seen us shop at the dollar tree, for years, and now Holly shopping with us, since 2019 in the store, this one worker, she's always zipping around the store. a few months ago, she talked with my mom ,dad, and even Holly, and i can be a bit shy, and social anxiety, but one day she asked me what my name is (after years of shopping at the store for years), and i said, my name is Chris, and the worker said, i can remember Holly's name, but may not remember yours. i thought it was very rude of her. i kinda brushed it off. she even talks with my mom and asks about how Alyssa, and the kids are doing.

forwarding to today ,this worker was talking with my mom and dad, and then when Holly and i were on the cat food aisle, this worker came up the aisle, and Holly and i were right there, and the worker said "How are you doing today Holly?".and didn't even achknowledge me there,and made me feel bad. i'm a good customer, and i spend money there, and as a person with shyness, and social anxiety, it can be hard to have these moments, as i felt left out. my mom, dad, Holly, get treated the same, and i feel like i'm the odd one out, it disappoints me, as i try to be social, but this one worker there, makes me feel like i'm the odd one out, and i talked with Holly and my mom this afternoon, about the situation.i mentioned to Holly, if it happens again like that, maybe she could say, "Chris and i are doing fine", to include me :) it would be helpful and would make me feel more comfortable. i'm hoping to at least be included, with my mom, dad, and Holly, as this affects my shyness and social anxiety. i'm a good customer, i'm polite, and i always give the workers the right away when they are walking the aisles.

i just hope to be treated fairly,with respect, like my mom, dad, and Holly are. i know i shouldn't try to focus too much on this, but it's not right, i go with Holly and my parents, to shop together, to be treated equally and fair. 3 people treated kindly, and 1 not, i've had enough of that and we all may need to find a new store to go too on saturday's. The cashier was thankfully nice to all of us,which was nice,and i appreciate that. i would like to shop, where we're all treated equally. Holly called our dollar tree this afternoon, and talked with this worker, who has shunned me, and only given kindness to Holly, and my parents, i'm thankful she called, and explained to the worker, that i too, would like to be included. the worker said ok. i will reconsider shopping there again. it upset me very much, about the situation, as i mentioned ,i'm very shy,and feel left out sometimes. i want to have good shopping experiences with my parents, and Holly. i may need a couple weeks off, from shopping, i feel distraught about the situation today, and may need a break from this store, but i will consider shopping there again, since the worker seemed to be very listenig to Holly when she called. i felt invisible inside the store today, felt like i didn't matter,and it's gonna take me some time to heal from this. i know people won't always treat us like we hope, but these experiences at the dollar tree, have affected me emotionally,and is unhealthy for me, and my shyness. even if no one talked to me at all in the stores, and also were the same to my parents and Holly, it would be more fair, but to be the one left out,  it's taken it's toll on my confidence, and i'm gonna take a step back from shopping, a week, or two, it'll be good for me, as this really has affected my confidence,and made me feel less than,and not equal,and i need things to go very well out there from this day forward, as i won't allow myself to put myself through it continously, i just want to be treated  equal. 

Popcorn movies party! :) countdown to spring theme! :) Holly and i love this very special weekly tradition :) We're having a fun popcorn movies party :) We love movies, and so excited to begin our countdown to spring movies :) We've been enjoying some cool movies today, and having some foods, snacks, and drinks :) Tiger girl loves to join in on the movies party fun, she enjoys her temptations treats, and has been having lots of fun playing with her toys ,and mini basketball :) Holly and i picked out a new movie to watch tonight, and gonna watch some more spring time movies next week too :) Cheers!!! to popcorn movies party day! :)
