it's over but what if we just pretend
It's just about every damned week that Jamie has to go food shopping. It's not that she eats that much food a week, it's more the simple things that she has to get for herself so she can have her lunch throughout the week. Of course just like everyone else in the world it's not her favorite activity and never will be her favorite because it's so annoying having to go through all twenty aisles in the store to look at hundreds of items and decide which one will do you right. Puh. Lease. There are so many more interesting things to do rather than spending a few hours in a food store amongst running, whining children and old people who walk too slow.
Yawning softly as she walked, Jamie peeked at a few boxes of cereal before choosing a box and walking on. Adapting to this life was pretty easy when she first arrived in Halifax but now she was having problems with it. See, the very petite young woman was born in a tiny farming town called Kilkenny which is in Ireland. The gorgeous town isn't a tourist trap, is mainly made up of all local farmers and is pretty up to date as far as technology is concerned. Now, Kilkenny is nothing like the small towns in the US or even here in Nova Scotia. Jamie knew from her travels that small towns in the US were typically everyone knows your business, in Nova Scotia it was everyone was your 'friend', and where she comes from, you knew everyone but didn't know their business but if they needed help you were there. On top of that difference, her food shopping at home in Ireland was nothing like this. There were no food chain stores in Kilkenny, rather it was all farm grown and brought to town to the weekly market or the little store on the corner.
Jamie missed that aspect the most because these pre-packaged meets were sometimes outright gross. Shrugging her thoughts away while picking up a package of steaks, Jamie decided it was time to leave. She didn't have too much money until her next paycheck since her boss had kindly forgotten about half of the overtime that she had worked at the gym last week. At least Jamie had forgiven the poor woman and had helped her a bit more around the gym so the woman didn't think Jamie was going to cut her head off with a cleaver. The lines were relatively short so that was the easier part of the process and out the door Jamie went. Getting to her car she packed everything into the back seats, returned her cart at the little cart collector across the driveway and down the road a bit. Now, all she had to do was get home without incident and maybe, just maybe her crappy day would turn into a better day. HA. Yeah right.
