Following the aftermath of Paper Writing Week, I've been slowly reacquainting myself with my surroundings. Not that I was surrounded by my surroundings much this weekend...However, I did take note of several conditions that range from inconvenient to unacceptable, to normally unthinkable to strange to strangely beneficial: downstairs toilet having to be shut off to stop the running we haven't had time to fix; bed linens consisting of a top sheet used as a bottom sheet, and a comforter used as a top sheet; forgetting to drink wine; popcorn and black coffee for breakfast; laundry piling up, resulting in my being quite elegantly outfitted for things like a trip to the DMV and staying home all day to write papers.
Of course, the condition of the fridge is really, well, how it gets...
I looked up from the absolutely essential activity of doing yesterday's blog entry to see him come into the office. "Hey...when you go the grocery store tomorrow or whenever...could you get something...?" His expression was slightly panic-stricken. "Um...of course...What do you need?" I asked, dreading the answer, envisioning myself browsing the Embarrassing Items aisle, behind Steve the pharmacist, who hands me a package whose wrapping contains the word anal or genital in large red letters.
"Can you get some healthy shit? I just got off the scale!"
