Random: A Six Sentence Story

Earlier this summer, I posted in a Ten Things of Thankful link up that I was thankful for Propel fitness water powder packets, preferably grape, which seems to have caused a rush on grape Propel packets, and I can no longer order them from Amazon or find them in the grocery store. I have been greatly saddened by this, so I have had to temporarily change flavors, and I can't tell you the name of the one I changed to, because obviously, then THAT one wouldn't be available anymore, either; in a subsequent TToT post, I referred to the substitute flavor as peewee flawberry, so as not to alert the media or the black market that I had had a switch.

Fast forward to last week, when I received a text from my dear blogging friend Lydia telling me to be on the lookout for a little surprise that she had just mailed; Monday, it arrived, and I eagerly tore into it to find not one, not two, not three, but FOUR boxes of grape Propel fitness water powder packets, and I squealed with delight! She said it wasn't easy for her to get it, either, and two previous orders she had tried to make were canceled - I wasn't kidding about grape Propel being a hot commodity!

Yesterday when I came home from work, there was a package on the kitchen counter for me, and puzzled, I tore into it to find a sweet card and note from my longtime friend Pam AND A BOX OF GRAPE PROPEL FITNESS WATER POWDER PACKETS; she happened to find some in the grocery store and picked up a box for me - my heart!

How utterly and completely random it was that two friends, on two different coasts and who did not conspire because they don't even know each other, would read that tiny little thankful in my tiny little blog and make my heart soar so (note: I'm also having a terrible time finding $100 bills, so if anyone wants to help a girl out with that...).
