Shopping

I had to text Tex today to ask permission to go to the store off schedule

He called

"what do you need"

I proceded to give him my list
which was

um

long

because I forgot about all the things I needed for the holiday dinner
and the fact that I have company in the house
silly of me

He granted permission
but

informed me that after the holidays
that if I don't have what I need in the one allowed trip

that I will simply have to do without

*********

I have a vanilla friend who I came out to last year
and I was talking to her about this restriction

she's my hippy feminist vegan friend

who at first balked at this

"you  have to ASK?!?!"

I informed her that yes - I do have to ask.

and as we chatted about this
and looked at it a different way

she could see that his is a helpful thing
that makes me plan
that helps me to manage my food budget better

and
create discipline
(as well as saves wasted time running to the store)

and by the end of the conversation had my hippy feminist vegan vanilla friend wondering where she could get a Dom of her own

at least one that she can turn on and off

(lol)

so

6 weeks to get better y'all
or
end up eating a lot of ramen.
