I had to go out for groceries. It was insane! The store was giving free eye exams and immunizations to school age children in one part. If I had known that beforehand, I would have gone to the slightly more expensive grocery store across the street. I hate shopping with so many people in the store.

It didn't do my past with an eating disorder any favors either. I don't know if it was the particular store I was at, the day or what. In a place crowded with maybe 250-300 people, maybe 50 people were not highly overweight. And half of that 50 were kids. ED thoughts don't want to go away when it's such an epidemic visible all around you. Having a bit of a hard time with those thoughts today, not sure why.

I never should go shopping Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It's always crazy anyway, not to mention now people are buying back to school supplies too. I don't work, so I could just as easily have gotten groceries another day. The thing is, I hate grocery shopping so much, I put it off as long as possible, and then we are out of tons of stuff, requiring a longer shopping trip as well. Today, I had just pushed my luck; we were out of too much stuff. On top of it, it feels horrible outside. It's 96 degrees, feels like 107 with the humidity.

I also needed to get gas, and since they had pumps at the store, I figured I'd gas up there. Huge mistake! Not to mention, I drive a Subaru Forester. Probably 95% of the vehicles out there gas up on the left side, the driver's side. But for some reason, the Forester (at least the version I have, which is an old one, a 2004 model) gasses up on the right side of the vehicle. It makes it so inconvenient when fuel pumps are busy. Then, you get stuck in there, someone gets behind you, someone else is at the pump in front of you...it was nearly as bad as gassing up pre-tropical storm or hurricane heading this way except the pumps still have fuel.

Ugh. Going to put away the dishes in the dishwasher, take my afternoon meds, maybe read a bit.
