From a sandwich to a chair
A little free association this evening. Or, how to move from the desire for a pita sandwich to the purchase of a chair, in ten easy steps.
The need to eat, and the boredom of leftovers, trigger the idea that a visit to Extreme Pita might be worth pursuing. Convinced the dog that he wasn’t needed as a team member, and then we headed toward the highway. Pain – should one consult a kinesiologist, a chiropractor or a physiotherapist? Where does it hurt. Not sure, might be a sign of fatigue.
Maybe we should go north instead of south. No, that would lead to a Thai restaurant. Continue south. Maybe a hamburger. How about that restaurant, just there? Looks full. No, that’s the terrace. There’s parking in back, so we’ll eat here. What about the slow service? If it’s slow, you pay. No, that’s OK. Pita morphs into club sandwiches and salad, and supper is done.
Back outside, where our car is “almost” blocked in by someone who is parking challenged. Another passerby directs the escape, and three right turns later we find ourselves at the surplus store. Maybe we can buy another USB hub, in the form of a gingerbread man. No, and we don’t need a clear glass bowl that is already drilled to serve as a sink. ditto for that antique Singer sewing machine worth $125. Won’t fit in the car.
What about another office chair? The price is too high. Check up front. 50% off, and it fits in the trunk. Great.Let’s go home before we buy something else that wasn’t necessary two hours ago.
