Hell's Aisles
I don't go shopping that often, but when I do there is normally one thing that is always on my shopping list; can you guess what it is? That's right - Toilet Paper.
Also Chocolate.
So today marked the first time I'd visited a shop, with money, with a hunger in my belly and I had to walk down the very long biscuit/cake/sweet aisle without picking up my favourite things. Only now, looking back, do I realise how much there is! Barely a week ago I may have wept tears of joy at the vision of chocolatey goodness that stretched on as far as the eye could see, but today it was like swimming butterfly through the river styx; Difficult, floundering and likely an experience that would have been amusing to anyone watching.
And though I did pick up, and purchase biscuits and cake, None of them have any chocolate on them and that is very much the point.
Some day in the not-too-distant-future I will be writing a blog about giving up sweets all together, and eating fruit or some similar, depressing shit, but today my battle is with chocolate...
I am winning.
