Personal Inflation
When I was really little, my Dad explained to me one day about what success is, how to spot it and why it is different for everyone. I was really too young to understand but I still had the words when I got old enough.
This morning I heard him at the grocery store. But switched success for inflation. I get what inflation is now, how to spot it and why it is different for everyone. The cost of gas is not on my radar, I don't drive enough. I don't ever turn the heater on in my home. I don't pay rent and I don't have a mortgage.
But... my favorite tangerines are now FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS each!!!! And they aren't even fabulous.
I only got 3 and I got a $10 poke bowl. The guy at the register told me my total was $25.29. I was glad I had not taken a sip of a drink. I looked t the receipt when I got to the car and sure enough. They are $7.99 per pound. Had I paid attention in produce and seen that, I would have assumed it was a typo.
Holy fuck.
I did find the optometrist's off and I'm glad I made the little trip. It's hard to spot and the parking is impossible to find. I'd have been a wreck at 8 tomorrow morning. Now I know right where to go and how to get there.
And my bluetooth transmitter kind of worked like I want. I think. More testing is required.
I feel like I should save these tangerine sections and only eat one a day. Geesh.
