Picked the wrong day to go to Whole Foods

I get my coffee beans from Whole Foods. We ran out, so I decided to go to Whole Foods today to get some. I picked the wrong day to do that because it was rainy and very windy. My skinny jeans got soaked and stuck to my legs, which wasn't pleasant. My jacket got wet as well. The hood on my jacket has nothing to tighten it with (no string or button) so it kept falling off my head each time I put it back on. I got tired of doing that so had to hold it with one of my hands to prevent it from falling, while holding an umbrella with the other hand, which a few times flipped over because of the heavy wind. And that was on the way to the store. On the way back it was worse because I now had a heavy bag of stuff to carry, though thankfully only one. The bag was getting wet and I was hoping it would not fall apart on me until I got home. I had the bag in one hand, the umbrella in the other, and I was keeping the hood from falling off my head by lowering my head down to my body, which wasn't comfortable. I still got wet, though not as much. And thankfully, the bag didn't fall apart. It was a little ripped at the bottom because it got too wet but other than that it was okay. I should have probably waited until tomorrow to go to the store but as I am not sure what the heck is going on tomorrow with our New Years celebration I decided to not put it off or I'd be left without coffee. And I gotta have my coffee!

Gotta have your coffee! :-) That was a bummer all the way around.

Wow, even though I don't plan on having a shopping day like yours, I have had similar experiences. Not fun at all. I love Whole Foods but have not gotten their coffee before. With everything you went through, I hope it was worth the trip.

@lovebuglena I'll have to try their coffee. Thanks for the tip. I'll check the weather before heading out and try to avoid the wind and rain.

@betlynfrnds I usually try to avoid going to Whole Foods in bad weather, unless I am very low on or out of coffee beans.

I love their coffee beans. I get them only from Whole Foods. At least this time I had only one bag to carry home and that was because I didn't get everything I wanted to get. One time I had two or even three heavy bags to carry and it was raining and windy. Now that was hell.

That stinks. It was rain-snowing here, which made it a bit treacherous. I have to get out and go grocery shopping tomorrow.

Depends what you get. And if you are a Prime Member you save. Unfortunately, I am not. Also, there are some things that I can't find in other stores, like certain types of sweet potatoes or yams, and sweet pea shoots, for example, so buy them there.

Oh! Really a wrong day. Rain and wind can really spoil things. But glad you are back with your coffee beans. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee now

I only have coffee in the morning. I may have it in the evening if we go out to eat or to someone's house for a celebration. If we are going to stay home tomorrow for New Years, I will have to cook stuff and didn't want to waste time going to get the coffee beans, as the store is far away from my house. That is why I went today. But I didn't anticipate the heavy wind and getting soaked when I left the house.

@arunima25 Thank you. I did not get to see anyone from my family. I spent it with hubby's side of the family.
