Can't Seem to Let Go

The other day I was doing my weekly shopping and on my list (yes I love lists, can't go to the store without one) was my usual facial moisturizer. I go to the isle it is always located in and I can't seem to find it. I start scouring the whole isle, my eyes passing every single product. It is nowhere to be seen. I start checking the other isles "just in case" but who was I kidding I knew it wouldn't be there. So I find an employee and ask if they have it. Just my luck, the employee doesn't speak English very well and doesn't really understand what I am asking. I then go on my way resolved to just buy it at another store.

Easier said than done. The next day I went to two local grocery stores as well as Target and Smith's and scoured their isles but to no avail. I then search the internet but every site says it is out of stock. Then I see the word - the thing that I have been suspecting but dreading DISCONTINUED. WHAT?!?!?! I have used this product for years how could they just up and discontinue it? When you're attached it is hard to let go.

Now I am left with the daunting task of finding a replacement. My sensitive, dry skin in combination with our harsh winters as well as my frugality will make this a challenge. So if you see me and my face is bright red or my skin is flaking off from lack of hydration please know that I'm working on it and just haven't found the right combination.

As a side note I do know there are more important issues in life besides my moisturizer but this little rant will help me let go and move on - who knows maybe I'll find something better.
