I guess I'm just not meant to have sugary snacks today. I drove all the way out to Saline to get my favorite doughnuts in the world. Before I got there I worried that they might be closed for the holiday, as that would just be my luck! Only they were open. As pulled up I could see the doughnuts sitting out, and 3 people sitting at 2 separate tables and chatting over coffee. I parked and walked into the store, so pleased with myself that I was finally going to get my favorite morning treat, and months of putting it off. I ordered 4 glazed, not really paying attention to the woman behind the counter as I drooled over my upcoming reward... Until the woman asked me to repeat what I'd said. Then I noticed that the woman's eyes were watered and red, as was her nose. When I repeated myself she apologised saying that she had a terrible cold and that she couldn't hear anything, before using one of those sanitary things to pick up my doughnuts and put them in a bag. Then she sneezed. I didn't want to be rude and cancel my order, but now the thought of eating those doghnuts was akin to swallowing poison. I paid for my doughnuts, and went to the car...defeated.

I went to Kroger and bought $60.00 worth of groceries. Seeing the sad ill woman reminded me to buy more hand sanitizer for work, as we're just about out, and I like to have it there at all times. I bought 3 of them actually, and left one in the car.

I'd left the doughnuts in the car when I went in to Kroger. I brough them in the house with me with the groceries. The entire time I shopped, and drove home I toyed with the idea of eating them. Maybe she hadn't infected them all... Only I couldn't bring myself to risk it, and threw them away. This sucks.

So I'm home...and the groceries have been put away, but my headache is back with a vengence. They were out of a few things I needed from the store, and I need to get the pharmacy and Best Buy sometime soon. And I'd like to go to Hollywood Video as well... But I need to go there tomorrow for work, so I might wait on that. I need to get to Whole Foods and get some of those rice snacks that I enjoy so much. I need to get to the Vault of Midnight and get the new Buffy comic for Mollie. If my head didn't hurt so much this would be a lot easier to plan. As it stands I believe I'll do these things today or tomorrow.

But now I'm going to have a snack, and maybe watch some more Who or Star Wars.
