So. I’m standing up at the office chatting away with someone and I absentmindedly put my hand into my back pocket. There’s a piece of paper in there. I pull it out and glance at it while we are talking. It is a receipt from Sobey’s supermarket in Highfield Square, downtown Moncton, from four years ago! November 23rd, 2005 to be exact.
I must have gone there for my lunch. It was 1:25 pm and I bought 3 diet Pepsi and a chicken salad with ranch dressing. $9.96. I gave the cashier, S. Lane, 10 bucks and got 4 cents change. My healthy lifestyle (ahem) must be working because I still fit into a pair of jeans I haven’t worn in almost four years.
The supermarket is gone now, but its memory lives on in my denim clad, back pocket time capsule.
By they way, I was blogging back then. Here’s a post I put up three days before that chicken salad was doomed to dissolve in my digestive tract. The post is kind of cryptic, but anyone who knows anything about my working conditions back then is fully aware of the source of my near psychopathic meltdown.
