Early morning grocery shopping

WARNING: This is one of those blog posts that you read and think, "Why the fuck would anyone want to read the boring details of this person's life?"

Luna woke me up at about 6:30 this morning to release what I can only call her most impressive hairball to date. I don't know where she gets all that hair considering the brushing I give her.

Anyway, despite what was scarcely five hours of sleep at the time, my mind started racing. Actually it was racing in a dream to begin with, but now I was awake. I was also hungry. Put these things together and you get a strange and sudden urge to go pickup a few groceries. So that's what I did.

First off, I haven't been up this early in many months. I'm astounded at the number of people moving about that early, and think, wow, that sucks. Getting up before dawn and on a regular basis sucks. I'm glad I don't have to do that for the time being.

My car was one of three in front of the grocery store, and what a different experience that was. No people to fight through, no lines, just me and my basket, free to shop. They were hosing out the meat coolers too, which I wasn't aware you could do.

I only needed a couple of things, but I saw some giant tortillas and got inspired to make burritos. I scored some chipotle-lime marinade and put some chicken in when I got home. Sadly, the fridge fairy must've taken the bottle of lime juice I would've used for the rice, so I won't have the full flavor experience unless I go back today. Probably not the best meal choice anyway. I'm starting to get used to people telling me I'm sexy, so putting on pounds isn't a good idea.

I got home well before sunrise, had a little breakfast, and realized I still didn't get any bread. Still no toast for me. Shit! Oh well. I'm undoubtedly going to crash around lunch time, but in the mean time I'm working on my projects. I might as well be productive while I'm up!
