Trying To Catch Them All

It was Pokémon Go.

Okay, it wasn't just the game that caused my headache this time.
But it was a major contributor.

I mean, spending hours at a time, staring down at a tiny screen, furiously swiping at it every now and then....isn't the best thing to do.
Especially not for long periods of time.
Especially when you're not out in public where there are cars and people and other obstructions you have to look out for.
Especially when it's hot outside and you don't drink enough water.
Especially when it's sunny so you're squinting down at the screen trying to see.
Especially when it starts to get dark and now you're staring down at a bright screen.....

Basically....
It was Pokémon Go.

My family and I spent like three hours walking up and down a waterfront main street furiously trying to catch all the water Pokémon that aren't at all common in our hometown.

And the tension, the hunched overness, the squinty eyes, the lack of food and water...

Gave me a major headache.
Not fun.

An Urgent Need?

Ah. After a long day of moving, I can finally relax!! ‪

Watch a movie, scroll through the internet, eat some ice cre--wait.... is that....

Why....Hello Santa.....why are you.....Oh? You need something?

....You want me to follow you?

Alright....I'll bite. Where are you guys leading me?

This better be important guys. I kinda wanted to just watch a movie....

Yes. I'm still following you. Lead on guys.

Huh? We're going to my room? But....

There's not really anything in my room! You do remember I moved most of my stuff out today right?

Hey. Don't give me that look! I am following am I not?

Okay we're in my room....What could you have possibly found that needed my desperate attention?

 O.o Wait! Do. Not. Tell. Me.

YOUR URGENT NEED WAS TO HELP YOU OPEN A BAG OF CANDY?!?!

Candy. You wanted candy I can't believe you wa--hold up. What are you guys doing over there?

I see, only a few Santas got distracted by some candy. Y_Y I should have known....

Huh...I missed some stuff when I was packing. But why are you guys interested in that?

There's obviously something here you guys want.

Wait, you guys are coming up with a plan to move all that stuff? Well, let me make easier for you. I'll help.

Alright. Remove the pens.

The socks. The cards. Hold up.

There's something under my heat pack. No, Wait! It's Someone!!

AHHHH!! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRAPPED THERE!! YOUR LEGS?! GAH! I'M SO SORRY! HOLD ON!

There. You're safe now. Let's get you checked out. Again, I'm so sorry for you getting trapped there!

Thankfully there seems to be no permanent damage. It's a good thing the Santas discovered you. Things could have been a lot worse otherwise.

Now to rest and to recover!! Sleep well everyone!

If I Ever -Discounts

If I Ever own my own store.

I would have a 'politeness/manner' discount.

You know, if the customer says 'please' they get a discount.
If they say 'thank you' they get a discount.
If they are honest about breaking something, they get a discount.

You know, just give discounts to people who are kind and happy and are well-behaved.

I'd probably have a sign on my door. "Politeness is always Rewarded, Rudeness will not Be."

I wonder what the self entitled people would say to that....
