Well, I thought music was pretty trivial until I started talking about it!

But seriously, there is something I used to take for granted. Since my family doesn't have a car, and the grocery store here is kind of small, my mom always gets a lift to a larger town from a friend. Once a week she goes shopping, and my brother and I always went with her.

Then, a couple years ago, the small shop my parents own started picking up a little (it's pretty new still) and we needed someone to mind it on shopping days. I was already working there part-time, so I got to watch it.

Since then, I have gone shopping exactly twice. For a long while I missed it, and I wasn't too fond of my new routine. But I've gotten used to it, and when I had a chance to go last week, I discovered that it wasn't so great as I remembered.

I dunno. It's hard to come up with things I take for granted, because most of the time I don't. I've lost a lot of things that I once thought of as unchanging...
