The next decade....what's in store?

O!........shameful!

When I went into the supermarket the other day, I saw SELF magazine and Oprah. I said to myself that I must come back and get them on Saturday.

Saturday I walked down to the ABM, got some cash, rode the bus into town, went to the market, bought 'stuff' which you'll read about in another entry, took the bus back up to Grand Anse, but didn't have enough cash to get the magazines. The people in that supermarket don't know my cheques (I still have Grenadian bank accounts).

Today, Sunday, I sat 'home' all day thinking about these magazines. But I still didn't have enough cash and I didn't feel like walking it all the way down to the ABM. It was then that I had a AHA! moment. I got on the telephone, called down to Reception and asked if they would change a cheque for EC$30. Yes!!!!!!!!

Off I skipped to the supermarket. I carried my knapsack because it would hide the fact that I changed money to buy an O! Magazine. I felt ashamed, sort of. When I got to the supermarket, the SELF was finished. I like that magazine because it has a pull-out exercise section. I have a few that I carried with me from previous issues. Anyway, Dr Phil was on Good Housekeeping, which I generally buy, so I was happy.

I took up some other stuff too....apples, water, Diet 7 Up, newspaper. When I looked, the O magazine was EC$25 and not EC$21 as I thought. Well, I wasn't putting it back, so I told the cashier to stop at EC$50. It meant that I had to put back the water and the soda. No worries. Long as I have O, I'm cool
