grocery shopping
Busy for a Saturday morning. The people at the auto care place were much nicer to me than the guy in the auto parts store. Silliness. But I got my oil changed, things replaced and all is hopefully well.
To make up for having to spend my time and cash on the car, I went to the HEB and bought groceries. (Professor P. tells me the Czechs love to visit the "cheb.") There is something unbelievable about a store with 5 kinds of oranges and 5 kinds of apples and all kinds of food. I shouldn't ever take that for granted. But anyways, I bought tons of fruit. The store has a special this week where if you buy a 5lb sack of red apples, you get a 4lb sack of oranges for free. Mmm. I bought lemons and strawberries too, milk, couscous, bread and peanut butter. Broke down and bought a candy bar at the checkout line. All those impulse buys really get to me. I suppose I'm very much an American consumer at heart.
I talked to Patrick last night, and he will be in town next week. It will be nice to see him, since he has been gone since November. I want to talk to him, and I'm afraid of talking. The communication is so frustrating sometimes, and I'm at a loss nowadays as to how to fix it. I'm hoping that next week will be good.
Since the sun is out and it's 77 degrees, I think I will go to the pool. I haven't gotten to swim in months. Mmm grilled pepper jack cheese sandwich, and an orange for lunch. What a lovely day.
