"Grief in the morning, washed away
in coffee, crumbled to a dozen errands between
busy fingers. "

"It's not usually a good idea to go to a store that sells groceries when you are hungry, but I make an exception for Costco.
I can usually make a meal of the free food samples that they offer. If you are already a member, that makes for a true free lunch."  ~ Stacy

"Always, a few errands
Summon us periodically from the room of our forethought
And that is a good thing."
