The Pedestrian and the Grocery Store

So today, feeling like I just needed to do something, anything really, I decided to walk to the grocery store down the street.

So I start out, walk though a bunch of back streets and finally get to the grocery store parking lot. That was when I decided that they don't make grocery stores for pedestrians. They don't have sidewalks from the main road to the store, or if they did they don't keep them shoveled. So I had to walk on the road part of the parking lot, pretty much taking my life into my own hands, you never know what people think they're allowed to do in a parking lot with their cars.


So I finally made it there and I didn't die, so I got a shopping cart and went on my way. At first I was just gonna make some granola bar things, so I went to the bulk aisle and got what I needed for that. Then I thought maybe I would make shortbread while I was here. So I got the stuff for that, but then found out that they don't sell 6 packs of eggs. I decided, ok, fine, I'll make quiche too. So finally $50 later I had my grocery shopping done.

I went and stood in line. I had been thinking before I left Wally and grabbed my backpack and one of those reusable bags, which by the way I got 6 cents off my purchases for having (I would have rather got the 50 PC points). Walking home, though, I realized I should have grabbed another bag so that I would have balanced out.

But I made it home, made my granola bars and now am dreading the drama I'm about to face.....
