Groceries

9:06 am, Albertsons.

Grocery shopping when hungry can be dangerous. As is shopping with offspring. For me, exhaustion unexpectedly showed it's inherit dangers. Remembering a list, for me, is an accomplishment. The Zen ideation of "here and now" spilled over into all facets of my life, for better or worse. Still, high spirits, high caffeine intake, and optimism led me to the store.

Staring at two cans of olives, only one of which I usually buy, was befuddling. The usual easy addition and division required(cans per week/ days Bella is with me) was as simple as teaching String Theory to a six year old.

The usual large circle of the perimeter was not to be either. There was no pattern, no logistics, only a disoriented lummox dodging left, right, and counter clockwise to all normal grocery buying behavior.  Of course, no list was produced.  However, I probably would've left it at work.

In short, I completely blew the budget, wasted an hour, and forgot quite a few things.

The trip to the gym after was even more confusing.
