Costco, Resetting, Better

Last night I finally got around to going to Costco, something I had wanted to do for at least a couple weeks. I wasn’t in the best state of mind to go shop, I was feeling less then great. You know how a lot of obese people will fall into emotional eating? Well I can fall into emotional purchasing. I walked out of there spending over $250 buying a number of things that were not on my shopping list. I was in a “don’t give a f” kind of mood. Among the not planned to buy highlights was a new dog bed for Elsa, a shower head for the guest bathroom and Mexican Coke. For awhile it was hard to find a Mexican Coke dealer. I’m glad it’s back in the supply chain.

When I got home I was putting away the items from Costco and I discovered there were some alcohol items from my ex still in a cabinet. I thought I had totally cleared everything out at this point. Luckily for me last night was trash night so I was able to easily dispose of the bottles. At this point I had no desire or reason to try to get the stuff returned to her.

This process lead to more reshuffling. I had rearranged, donated and condensed a lot of my clothing to make accommodations for a second person whom has a lot of clothes. For whatever reason even though I am back to one person I never had reclaimed any of that space in my closet or drawers despite several weeks going by at this point.

I did some brief self analysis of why that would be, why I wouldn’t reset all that stuff back to how it was before considering I have purged the house in pretty much every other way. Like many things in my life the last year it didn’t make much sense. I took 15 minutes and moved things around so areas of clothes storage that were tight are no longer that way. In fact I still have a ton of drawer space that is still not utilized. I guess that is a good “problem” to have.

I did finish up the last Matrix movie without falling asleep. I did like it more than the first go through since I didn’t sleep through large chunks of it. Was it great? No. But I’d be ok giving it a B rating.

Tonight I am supposed to play volleyball with the more skilled group for the first time. Hopefully more skill doesn’t translate into more attitude. We shall see.
