Impressionist Rushes

Well, I've had better mornings.  It was the day to do the grocery shopping, and it can sometimes be difficult.  I was prepared for the Valentine's day displays, mostly.  Paused, took a deep breath, and kept on going.  It was the Easter displays that nearly did for me.  DH did like his chocolate Easter egg.  I finished the shopping successfully, but indulged in a weep when I got back to the car.
In the afternoon, phoning one of the pension providers to find out if there's been any progress.  I answered their queries a month ago.  Yes, they got my e-mail.  But they're rather backlogged at the moment, it'll take about 43 days to process . . . so mid-March at the earliest.
