Total eclipse of the brain

Went to town to get a few things.*

No big deal.

Ha.

Realized I was hungry so got some fast food. On the way to get it, two consecutive streets were closed. Drive 2 blocks south, 4 blocks west then 2 blocks back north.

Into the drive through. In front of me was a mini van with a group of old dudes in it. They were at the ordering thingie still trying to decide what they wanted. After several minutes and some inaudible exchanges they got a #2, a taco salad and a baked potato. Then it took them some time to come up with the cash for the transaction.

Finally got my crap food and took it to the local water hole to eat**. There was a blonde lady out floating around on an air mattress, a bunch of kids splashing around and the usual contingent of ducks. Sure made me wish I was floating, too.

Then off to the store. On the way to the store my eyes started to itch.

Then realized the bags had been taken out of the car and I had nothing to put the groceries in.

Then a headache arrived.

I figured I might as well go home so started back on 19th, totally forgetting that they are putting in an overpass. Double back because there was a train the next turn up, proceed to Monroe, turn south.

Then I started to bloat up like a blowfish.

It was at this point that I decided nothing was worth this crap and I had better just get my butt home before anything else happened.

There are some days it would be better to stay in bed with the curtains drawn and the door locked.

This has been one of those days.



* We need a whole bunch of stuff but have to get the kids registered for school so am holding off. The worst thing is we are out of onions. Disaster.
** I don't eat fast food and it will become clear as you go through this post.

# No more fast food for me. Headache and bloating are the usual reaction but this is the first time my eyes have started itching like that.
