After work I headed to my new favorite place Astoria Park to have a jog. It has easily become so due to the cool breeze coming off the water, the rubber track that makes you feel like you can run forever, and the variety of people from all ages, races, and walks of life all hanging out. It seriously makes my night being here.
Afterward, I thought to my self "Self, I should go get some groceries." (No that joke will never get old to me. Suck it.) It dawned on me that since I will have to get meat, I should go to the C-Town, otherwise risk of food borne illness. You know who you are Fair Trade ;) (I am not going to sued by a company because of my fear of food diseases.)
Anywho, I go to the store, grab everything I need that I don't already have to make spaghetti with chicken meatballs plus some yogurt, granola, ice cream... well.. let's just say it was a lot of food. I get to the cash register, place all of it on the conveyor belt, wonder what the problem is in front of me (people were taking a long time,) go for my wallet, and find nothing there.
Never one to hide what I am feeling, I turn bright red.
"Um, excuse me. Miss?" She looks at me with discontent as she is not finished with the participating customer. "Yes?"
"Um, I just put all of this food on your counter? And I realize that I don't have my wallet on me? I tend to say everything as a question in uncomfortable situations. "Could I please run and go get my wallet?"
I think that happens a lot as it did not phase these teenage girls whose approval I am strangely seeking.
And so I ran more than I intended; back to my apartment which is a good five minute walk away, back to my room, and then back to the store. I paid for my food and thanked the young ladies about 30 times.
It was all worth it in the end. The chicken meatballs were delicious.
Sleep well,

Ahahaha. Good ole C-Town. PS, my coworkers devoured my cookies, hence you not getting a phone call to come get the leftovers. Perhaps I will make some for all of you in the near future, even though it seems you are watching your health ;-)
