I have a tendency to forget that, when I am traveling, I might be able to acquire items in other locations that I am accustomed to purchasing in my home area. Thusly, I think and think and then, think some more, about every possible product that I use or consume on a regular basis and proceed to buy enough of each item to last me through a ninety-day Pacific cruise........or so it seems.
My family and SO (in particular) teases me about this personality trait mercilessly, constantly reminding me that "There are grocery stores in other cities."
I'll hear entreaties such as, "Mom, you don't need to take two dozen rolls of your favorite paper towels." or "Dear (nothing good ever follows the word 'dear'), grocery stores will carry zippered food storage bags." I'll catch myself in the act and then tell myself that old-fashioned oatmeal is a common product and I don't need to take a case with me. Of course, it is a different matter when my SO takes more than one of something. Then it is called 'redundancy' and it perfectly permissible.
I'll sign off from today's posting. I have to talk myself out of buying a case of my favorite mayonnaise. Wish me luck!
