Sometimes I think our minds just predict what they are going to want in the future and plan accordingly. My brain must have known two weeks ago when it made me buy those dark chocolate caramel balls that none too far in the future, I was going to be weaned off of caffeine, and then the time was going to change, and I would be sitting forlornly in my office wishing I could just go get a jug of coffee and bathe in it. It would know that I would not remember those dark chocolate caramel balls sitting in my drawer. It knew I would open the drawer for some other reason (like to get a cup of herbal, non-caffeinated tea to sort of pretend the warm beverage was caffeinated) and discover, lo and behold! A small baggy of drugs, er, dark chocolate caramel balls and I would just melt with pleasure.
Yes, brain. I thank you. You’ve done me right on this one.
And where did you get these delicious and miraculous little noms?
New Seasons. I was driving home last week and suddenly thought I should swing in and pick some up. So I did. Then I left the bag in the car instead of taking it in the house to be devoured by my children. The following morning, there they were, next to the parking pass. Good on me.
I wish we had New Seasons.
