Maybe I should have taken her up on her offer to do grocery shopping…
Cecilia has taken off for Brazil to spend some quality time with her family. There are a bunch of birthdays coming up (Happy Birthday today to Diogo) and a new niece is on the way.
Before she left, she offered to go grocery shopping and buy some ready-made meals. I told her that I used to live on my own and could manage it again for a few weeks. So, tonight I wandered through the aisles of Jewel in search of dinner. Easier said than done. It took me thirty minutes of wandering around to come up with: a bag of bagels and a tub of cream cheese. Of course, when I got home, there was already a tub of cream cheese in the fridge.
My first day’s meals on my own consisted of: Lunch - Oat bar, Kroger Fruity Pebbles, soda. Dinner - Oat bar, bagel & cream cheese, soda.
Her concern was that I wouldn’t be able to fend for myself. She pictured me standing naked eating a bowl of cereal over the sink because she’s convinced that I can’t wash clothes and would be too lazy to make anything that involved washing more than one bowl and spoon. Maybe she’s right.
