When I start my day, there
are three things I need before the 'day' actually begins. Feed and walk the
dog (That's one thing, taking care of
Scout). Second, I have coffee. The final thing, and most important for
making a new day, is my shower. Until I get my shower it is still last night.
It is still me laying in bed, unwashed with yesterday all over me. Everything
that comes before or after the shower is extra. Breakfast, my morning poop,
watching the WGN morning news, all just extra good stuff.
Usually, on Wednesday, I go
grocery shopping. I like to go around ten in the morning when the store is not
very crowded. When employees out number customers. It's a good time and the
lady behind the service desk knows me. That's because I usually find a mistake
on my receipt and I immediately scuttle over to see her. It's like a game for
me. Find the mistake, and don't be wrong. If there is a real mistake and she
has to refund some money, I smile. If I'm wrong, and she points out the fine
print on the coupon, she smiles. Anyway, that's not the point of this post. The
point here is that before I went shopping on Wednesday, I took a shower. I used soap, I shaved, and I used deodorant. Yet almost every
single time I go shopping, there is some
old fart walking around smelling like a goat. You know he's there before you
even see him. The aroma lingers in the aisle so you know that when you turn the
corner, he'll be there. Smelling like a fucking goat. Gross, Old, AnTique.
