I start the internal debate miles from the store.I dont need to go. Yes I do. No, I dont need it. I needit. No
The stores getting closer. I make my excuses. I need to pick somethings up, anyway, and its right there. I can take the shortcut to gethome, and itll be the same amount of time. I need to go. Im going
I make the turn into the convenience store parking lot, and there areno parking spaces open. No surprise, theres a major baseball game ontonight and party goers are picking up last-minute supplies. Heres myway out: I cant park, I cant go in the store. Then I spy someone withtheir reverse-lights on.
No hope now.
I go in, into the glare of the florescent lights, and make my way tothe back corner. Go in and get out, thats all I need to do. You dontspend a lot of time pondering these things, you just get it done. Asurgical maneuver: I swoop in, procure the necessary items, and
Theyre right there. Taunting me.
No.
Yessssss.
Before I can stop myself, I grab them and turn towards the counter. Iavoid making eye contact with the cashier as he rings up the items. Heknows as well as I do what they mean. I start to feel almostuncomfortable under the glare of the lights and the gaze of thesecurity cameras. Im paranoid now even of fellow customers. What arethey thinking about me?
He rings up the total, and I pay, and for a brief moment our eyes meet. He understands. All I want to do is get out of here
I shove the package of pads and the box of brownie mix into a paper bagand leave as fast as I can, before the Haagen-Dazs can start calling myname.
LOL
C'mon girls, you know how it is...I'm going to go eat my brownies now and snuggle with some furbabies.
