I received the medical provider’s check in the mail — the one reimbursing me for paying out-of-pocket for that covid booster because they stupidly refused to authorize the charge at the outside pharmacy, even though they themselves don’t provide Moderna.
So that’s behind me and today, when I popped into the market after this morning’s workout, I saw the hunt for our Hometown Elf is back on.
Before I began the hunt, I paused to take a look around, make sure she wasn’t hiding somewhere near the front entrance or hiding in decorations at the check stands.
Lo and Behold, something caught my eye and there she was.

| Say hello to Sparkle |
Isn’t she cute?
And what did I get for a successful hunt you ask?
Man, money cuts are hell. Not even like $10 off you purchases that day???
ReplyDeleteYou should have heard the laughter in the checkout line when I said I'd found the elf and pointed it out. Next person in line excitedly told the person she was with "She found the elf. She's going to get a prize". Then started laughing when she saw what the prize was and pretty much said what you said about something off the purchase.
DeleteHopefully the prizes get better?
ReplyDeleteThey don't. Third year in a row and all we've gotten are tiny candy canes. Most of the time, I just enjoy the hunt, don't even collect the prize.
DeleteThere's no foolin' you!
ReplyDeleteNot anymore, LOL.
DeleteThe elf is flying instead of being on a shelf! I didn't know it was a female. Is there a boy version? Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteElf at this market has always been female, but once I was out of the area, saw a Stater Bros, went in and found their elf was a male.
DeleteAnd not even a big candy cane. Ah well, the hunt is fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather chocolate, a tootsie roll perhaps.
DeleteDo they move the elf around after it's been found a few times? Good eye!
ReplyDeleteThey move her every day, which prompts me to find reasons to go shopping for some little thing at the market.
DeleteThat's kind of a cute idea from the store, probably more fun for the kids than the adults.
ReplyDeleteI've seen and heard old ladies hunting around the market, talking to each other about "where's that elf?". Sometimes whole families. I myself look forward to the hunt every year. So, it's probably even as to who has more fun, adults or kids.
DeleteA CANDY CANE! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYipee!!! I always wanted one.
DeleteA candy cane. That's about equivalent to what I got for 25 years of service working as an RN. You did better than me. At least you didn't have to work
ReplyDelete25 years for it! LOL!

OMG! Surely not that awful. No pension?
DeleteActually, I got all the bells and whistles with benefits. It was the 'personal stuff' and lack of any interest in your personally that was non-existent. Management had to adhere to the hospital's benefit package, but forget any recognition, kindness or even a hello from those a-holes. So glad to be retired. A dusty mug with the hospital's logo (I know the damn thing had been sitting around for a decade or two in a closet somewhere) was sitting in the nursing station for me with a 'typed' note congratulating me on 25 years of service. I threw the mug in the trash on the way out the door that night. Such is the working life. I'd preferred a candy cane!
DeleteParanormal John
That's not that unusual. Companies no longer care about its employees, and even when you do get recognition, it's sometimes too little too late and insincere.
DeleteYou have Eyes like a Rat my Friend. Ha ha ha. You're like The G-Kid Force, they never miss a thing. I didn't see her 'til Photo No. 3! *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteEyes like a Rat due to lots of practice from having to constantly watch my back and surroundings.
DeletePS: Glad you got your refund for the Booster, was hoping you would.
ReplyDeleteI would have gone Dark Dawn had I not.
DeleteWell, now THAT would have been an Entertaining Post tho', No? *Smiles*
