Saga of the Sandwich
Jan. 3rd, 2007 03:02 pmI went to bed early last night (no doubt confusing my cat) so I could get a lot of sleep, which seems to have helped my cold. Since I felt better today, I decided to do some grocery shopping.
I went to the Italian Market to get some produce, and since I didn't have anything at home for lunch, I went to a local gourmet place to get one of their panini sandwiches. I also got a drink, but somehow I left the place without actually picking up the sandwich. I didn't realize it until I'd gotten back to the office, went through my shopping bag and found I didn't have it.
So I walked seven blocks back to the gourmet shop and picked it up (the staff was amused, but happy that it wouldn't go to waste) and came back. I mean, it was a seven-dollar panini sandwich, I couldn't just leave it. It means I will have to stay a bit late at work today. But it was a good sandwich.
I think I'll actually be able to visit the kendo class I'm looking into this Sunday, since my cold is clearing up. In fact, I feel almost normal this afternoon, although that might just be because I'm chewing mint gum. I've discovered that strong mint gum - and I mean really strong, like Orbit gum - clears out the nasal passages and soothes the throat very well. I should keep that in mind.
