Socchan and the Quest for Sugar

soc_puppetI meant to get milk before I got home last night, I truly did, but I forgot until I was parked out front, and at that point a part of me was dearly hoping that one of my parents had spontaneously picked some up at some point during the day. It's happened before!
No such luck, unfortunately, and I was too tired to go out and get more. A quick glance in the fridge showed me that there was enough for one bowl of cereal in the morning, but not two; good enough.
I get up this morning, remind myself that I'm either re-using milk, or supplementing one bowl of cereal with a sandwich or something, and go upstairs. The last of the milk is gone, the empty jug sitting in the sink. "Sorry, I drank the last of the milk," Mom informs me.
Okay, no problem! I was already thinking of having some sort of sandwich for part of breakfast, I'll just make it a slightly heavier sandwich. And I still have my sweetened iced tea to bring to work!
Five minutes away from work I realize that I have forgotten my tea at home. It is far too late to go back and get it. I resign myself to settling for soda instead.
In other news, we are in Cookie Packaging Season at work right now, and since it's a job I actually rather enjoy, I get to do a fair amount of it! This effectively means that I was paid to listen to an audiobook for over three hours today while I put cookies into plastic bags. A good day overall, I think 😁

Sure thing!
