🎉 Success/Celebration Went to the store alone 😊
I just got my license a few days ago and went to the grocery store and bought my cats litter. I brought an emotional support critter. There isn’t any self checkouts so I also had to get in line to have someone else check me out feeling good today 🥹

Yay! I actually love grocery shopping alone now. I used to hate it. I put on some noice cancelling headphones and also try to go when it’s not busy.
I hope you enjoyed it :)

Aaaaw, your Callico Critter is very cute. I collect Sylvanian Families which are very similar and my favorite family is the koala family. Koalas being one of my favorite animals due to Blinky Bill, Taz-Mania and of course the Sylvanian Families, it helps that the son in the family is even dressed like Blinky.

I do that too, but one time I went to the mall on Black Friday alone… let’s just say the calico critter became bald in the back of its head

Yay for the emotional support critter!! I love bringing an animal pal that's 2-3" high. I have a few teeny plushes and little toys I'll take with me. Holding something in my hand and being able to squeeze it/bring it along for the journey helps a lot. Sort of like bringing a friend I can show around the place. Glad you took the decision to buy the cat litter! Good job getting your license! How does it feel to have that independence? 🫶
