51/82: Nylongathering

Tuesday evening I engaged in the utterly horrifying ritual that is online shopping. I have to do this every two weeks or so in order to obtain groceries, but this particular instance of the unspeakable was extra. I ordered some stuff from the J. C. Penney web site. They were having a cyber Monday sale and I believed I had thirty dollars in what they call rewards, although it turned out they had been lying to me about that, due I think mostly to the incompetence of their IT department, which appears to have become standard for the hapless retail industry, but in any case I ended up just ordering two hoodies a size larger than the now too snug assortment I've already got, and then a pack of four tank tops and then a single tank top just to get my total over the 49 bucks I needed to spend to avoid the shipping fee. It's supposed to arrive on either the tenth or eleventh, and so I don't have to be disappointed until then. Although I'm sure other things will come along to disappoint me, probably by Friday, when I have to order groceries.

My mind wanders so much now. I wrote the above hours ago, then lost track of what I was doing and forgot what I was going to say next. I have to go look at Safeway's web site and see what they've got this week. I might abuse myself further by looking at Kohl's web site. They are having a sale too, and I might have a bit of extra money this month. Might as well squander it. Squander in haste, repent at leisure.
