Clearing Out Zealousy
I am a recovering clearance addict. Let me explain. You know those carts in the grocery store that are full of clearance items, like at Kroger for example? That is what my shopping cart looks(ed) like. When I would stop and take a couple of steps to look at more items to pile on, people would start looking at my cart to shop from. My kids would freak out when they noticed people taking their “stuff” and would grab the shopping cart and start walking around the store with it so no one else would try to take anything out of it. You haven’t lived until you see your kids warily cruising around the grocery store with an overflowing large capacity grocery cart filled to the max-- all clearance items. The words, “I’m sorry, that’s actually my cart,” have come out of my mouth more than thrice.
But no more. It was very difficult not to snag two day old Valentine’s arrangements from the store the other day just because they were half price. And we don’t even like those middies grade chocolates. We are used to the kush when it comes to our cocoa plants. My kids run directly to the clearance stands because they know if they find some toy on mega markdown clearance, I am likely to go for it if I sense a deep bargain. And lawdy help me if I find lotions or makeup or shampoo from the nature section on clearance. If there ever is any kind of apocalypse, we will be the cleanest, smoothest, prettiest survivors you have ever seen.
My denial game is strong today. I have begun to convince myself that the tooth is growing back together and the root is healing. Like I am some kind of dental mutant. Wouldn’t that be amazing tho??? And I fully believe it too, until I accidentally hit it while flossing, or when I assumed the crow position in yoga this morning. Codone, take me away!
Feb 17- Managed to get out three more items today. Started to do some more listings on my own as well for categories not accepted by eBay valet. Pulled out some frozen veggies from the freezer for dinner. Life is good.
