Today was pretty productive for a vacation day. I did a load of laundry, got my insurance premiums dropped by $35 a month, and did 2 weeks' worth of grocery shopping.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm also sad about the loss of salt-and-pepper peanuts.
And the walnut-gorgonzola tortellini.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Trader Joe's stopped carrying this horseradish cheddar pub cheese?
That's weird, because my TJs just *started* carrying it this week. (I know that for certain, because The Boy ADORES the regular pub cheese, and so I buy it every week. I sometimes have to buy the jalapeno pub cheese when they're all out of regular.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Things come back, though. I was looking for the frozen biryani for several years with no luck and then it was suddenly there again. Of course, it was not as good as I remembered, but that's a different issue.

For a long time, they carried frozen shelled edamame, which is the greatest thing ever. Then for a long time, they stopped carrying the shelled edamame and only carried the shelled kind. I asked the employees about it, and I even sent an e-mail saying how much I preferred the shelled kind. Eventually, the shelled kind came back! So I sent them an e-mail thanking them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The first time I tried the shelf-stable pad thai, I loved it. (The kind that comes in a box that looks like a takeout container, and you mix together a packet of noodles and a packet of sauce and put the whole thing in the microwave.) Then it disappeared, and then it came back, and I bought it again and it was greasy and salty and gross.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's weird, because my TJs just *started* carrying it this week.
Really!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the link to JDM, Amy. I will check it out when I get home.
TJ stopped carrying their delish women's cereal years ago and I'm still hurt, although I don't know what was feminine about it.
I'm about to go there for jarred pears which they'd better have since Del Monte stopped carrying them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes, a huge beer mug made of bacon. But instead of beer, it seems to be filled with melted cheese.
