Filling the Fridge

It has come to my attention that today is Saturday, a day I usually get groceries into the house. It has also come to my attention that I have not completed said grocery expedition in several weeks. Oh, I've run out for powdered sugar and cold cuts. But I've been neglecting the tried-and-true, list-driven expedition.

I kind of dread the trip, if you want to know the truth. It seems too much like work, which I've sworn off these last 10 days. But we're running low on milk, eggs and salad —  things that don't freeze well, you may notice — and you can't live on chocolate cake and Christmas cookies forever.

So here I go, back into a routine. I'm sure it will be fine once I get in ... a little like the shock of cold water in a pool, which ultimately refreshes. And even if it isn't, the fridge will be full again.
