Grocery Shopping...

So last night was the first time that I had to go to the grocery store alone.

I forgot how to grocery shop. Not that I ran into anything with the cart, but I wasn't sure what should go on the list. I found the Spaghettios, not to worry.

I did find myself looking at something, and thinking, "Will I be here long enough to use this?"

It's still odd for me to think that I will stay someplace more than two nights.


I was floored by the aisles and aisles of food. Institutional-sized cans of peaches. Instant mashed potatoes. With cheese if you want it. Whole wheat white bread that doesn't have the level of fiber of the regular whole wheat bread. The high prevalence of high frutose corn syrup in everything from crackers to applesauce. I may not get used to this...

On the upside, I took Buster to the farmer's market. He was quite well behaved, although that may be the result of the dog treats. He received many pats, and scratches behind the ears. He also sniffed a few other dogs too. All in all, a good time had by all...
