Shopping List Month: List Seven

the list.

contents are: calamine lotion, flea power (powder...or maybe power...maybe she wanted the fleas to take over), bread, dog dry food, air deo, lettuce, soup veg, cigs, telnase, gavascon, cigs (again, don't forget the cigs). under bread i think she has written 'pet' and then crossed it out & written 'dog dry food'. just in case she went ahead and bought generalised pet chow instead of dog specific food?

this list makes me feel really heavy and depressed. conjures up all sorts of awful images about the listmaker's life. the health conditions. the smoking (particularly that cigs is there twice). the bland food. the dog. any of these things alone is fine & dandy, but together...i don't know, it just feels...heavy.

receipt one.

receipt two.

the goods.

meal one: dinner

meal one ingredients: celery, bread, sweet potato, carrots, potatoes, lettuce.

veggie soup, lettuce, toast.

wouldya lookit this drab meal? i could see no other way out of this list than to boil the veggies up with water in a big pot, then blend into a soup. 
it was unpleasant.

the air freshener

"hey kyle, i've got a great idea mate! i'm gonna spray the room with the glade air freshener. then you come in and sit down & i'll blindfold you! then i'll bring something really stinky in and you have to see if you can smell it, or if the awesome power of the air freshener eliminates it! IT'LL BE JUST LIKE THAT AD AND WE'LL BE RICH & FAMOUS! ok, ready?"

i bring his cat into the room and hold it up to his face. cat scratches both of us and runs.
eh, close enough.

the medicated items

the gaviscon tasted like balloons. no joke. balloons.

the telnase was an awful experience. the only thing i want up my nose is a booger! the feeling as it slowly trickled through my sinuses was unbearable. and geez, just look at all the instructions!

pretty sure they could've condensed that it 'sniff it'.

the calamine lotion was actually quite handy, as i have a spot of eczema on my leggem that's been bothering me. oh sweet relief.

the cigarettes

as an ex-smoker of around 9 years or so, i was so looking forward to drawing this list. finally, my chance to get back into the fags, all in the name of SCIENCE. alas, when the time came, i sat with an unlit cig in my mouth in the backyard for a good 15 mins before retreating inside. i walked up to kyle & said "i didn't do it, are you proud of me?!?". he responded "huh? sure, i guess". so i huffed back outside, shouting "FINE THEN, I'LL DO IT, YOU CAN'T STOP ME". i got the big gas stove lighter out, lit the damn thing and...didn't inhale, so it didn't actually light. but look, i made it slightly blackened!

the dogue food and pow(d)er

see end of previous post for powdering. gave him this dry food at previous visit also. i ain't visiting that cute mutt two lists in a row.
