1)

I made some bank deposits earlier today.

On my way out, I noticed a basket of lollipops sitting by the door. I walked over to the basket and grabbed a sucker, though I felt sheepish to do so.

Whenever I grab free candy in public, I always expect someone to reach over and say, quietly: “That’s for the children.”

Thankfully this has never happened, but I suspect that it will one day.

2)

I was doing the laundry and thought that I needed to call the landlord since it wasn’t working. It just made a weird, internal ticking noise.

I fiddled with the knobs for about 5 minutes straight, convinced that I would not have clean, dry clothes for the next day.

Frustrated, I gave up and began to walk away, then noticed I had left the dryer door wide open.

I shut it and the dryer started immediately.

3)

I went to Walgreens earlier to pick up some photos.

I knew I didn’t need anything besides the photos. Zero, zip, etc.

Yet I found myself picking up an empty basket at the entrance, glancing at the photo station, then walking in a different direction.

I couldn’t possibly need anything. Except that I really did.

I didn’t know what I needed, just that I’d need it when I saw it… like that really cool stainless steel bottle…and those dog treats that were on sale…

I am so weak.
