I accidentally left my lunch sitting on the kitchen counter top when I went to work today.
Luckily, I live close enough (and drove today) that I could run home during lunch to get it/eat it.
At lunch time I ran down a flight of stairs, across the alley, up a flight of stairs in the parking garage and over to my car...and then realized I left my purse in the office. Ugh.
Back down a flight of stairs, across the alley, up a flight of stairs to grab the purse.
A co-worker who doesn't know about our rationing program (really, I'm sure they all think I'm weird enough already) suggested I just run next door to the sandwich shop and grab lunch instead.
If only it were that easy. I am not allowed to eat lunch out during rationing year, but she doesn't know that so her comment is well-meaning.
Back down a flight of stairs, across the alley, up a flight of stairs in the parking garage and over to my car, then home to eat my left-overs which were luckily still chilled by their little freezer pack insert.
The dog was happy to see me. Good dog.
After lunch it's drive back to work, run down a flight of stairs in the parking garage, run across the alley then up a flight of stairs in the office and sit.
Sigh. Two and a half miles added to the weekly total because I forgot my lunch.
At least I got a decent mini stair workout.

I am in awe of your fortitude and committment.
ReplyDeleteMy lazy butt would have run right next door to that sandwich shop. Maybe not at first, but for sure at the point of discovery about the missing purse.
Good Work Michelle! Stay true to the cause!
But you know, back in the day, I bet someone at work would have offered to share their lunch with you, so that you didn't have to spend money or precious fuel.
ReplyDeleteSomething to ponder.
