Change and Other Things That Start With The Letter C

I stopped at Whole Paycheck Grocery on the way home from work tonight to look for Kashi Mighty Bites cereal for The Rooster.

The Rooster, also known as, “SHE WHO IS IMPOSSIBLE ABOUT BREAKFAST,” likes Mighty Bites.

She’ll actually eat them.

With milk.

In the MORNING.

[Miracle of miracles.]

I was denied victory as all evidence that Mighty Bites ever existed was erased from the shelves.

[Mighty Elusive Bites.]

I can hardly ever find them and am beginning to think there is an evil conspiracy…

… a breakfast cereal conspiracy…

…all organized to drive me INSANE! INSANE!!!

[Yo, cereal conspiracy people… it’s totally working.]

Despite the cereal procurement failure, I still bought things because that is the way it goes at Whole Paycheck Grocery.

If you enter the building, you will spend $27.50 on three items.

When I got home and unpacked my three items – two chocolate bars and a bottle of Chimay, I thought,

"Hmmm… THAT’S NUTRITION! Way to go, Champ!"

Then I had a little moment of PERSONAL REFLECTION.

[Because sometimes I get all new age, hippie-chick after I breathe in the Whole Paycheck Grocery air.]

In my moment of PERSONAL REFLECTION, I thought,

"What is going on for you Mrs. Magic Stressball that you are buying chocolate and beer at the Whole Paycheck?”

And the answer…

I went back to work full time on Monday.

I am excited about the position, but already drinking from the fire hose.

Balance is over rated?

Frenzied chaos is the new black?

Ah, well.

At least The Rooster can have a five dollar, organic, 70% cocoa chocolate bar for breakfast!
