PLACE YOUR BETS: how long after I post this will my executive function completely shut down and leave me stranded?
I’ve been doing pretty good lately with keeping track of things. I’ve been remembering my meds every day, been keeping ahead of the cat litter, keeping the pet water fountain full and clean, and not having any emergencies like being out of coffee, or being out of filters.
I’m kinda screwing up the groceries though. I started getting them delivered in 2020 and it’s actually a lot more helpful for me than actually going to the store, but it’s still not something I enjoy or even remotely like. I’m really restricted as far as food and a lot of it is my own weirdness, but there are also multiple food allergies at play, so I tend to stick to about 10 things that I trust to always be safe (and “safe” as in the texture or whatever won’t bother me).
So shopping for groceries isn’t fun. I tend to buy the same bunch of things (Lactose-free milk, Saltines, coffee, plain yogurt, chicken nuggets) so going to the store is boring and long and waiting to pay for things is intolerable some days. Unfortunately shopping via app is also not that much fun. I put things in the basket and take things back out again because I’ve lost interest in it. I put all kinds of snacks and things in the cart and then take them back out again. Then I spend every evening whinging to my mom that I have no junk food in the house and what kind of monster is denying me cookies at 8:30 at night?!
Anyhow, I’ve been putting things in and taking things out of my cart since like last Thursday and it’s getting dire. I’m almost out of milk and I need toilet paper and latex gloves, so I’m going to have to be brave and click the checkout button. There are snacks in the cart right now, but will they still be there when I complete the purchase?!
Probably not, because I’m actually incredibly stupid and mean to myself.
Aren’t you glad I started blogging again? Deep, insightful stuff going on here.
