What I miss...

There are things I turn around for and aren't there, like...

Ziplock bags and storage containers - the other day in the single large grocery store in town I looked for anything to put my left overs in. The result - nada. Not that there is any room on my one shelf in the fridge for anything, left over or not!

Peanut butter, diet coke and Ezekiel bread for breakfast - The peanut butter goes without saying (I could not figure out how to fit a jar of Whole Foods 365 brand crunchy into my suitcase to save my life). Diet coke is expensive and there is NO way I could carry a discounted box all the way back from the store. Bread, on the other hand, can be found freshly baked in several stores. mmmmmmm. I am trying to retrain my brain for yogurt and granola in the am but it's an uphill battle.

Flip flops - I totally did not anticipate the condition of the floors in the bathroom and shower area. And, while a lot of students are actually still wearing them in this weather I cannot locate a pair to buy. As a result I tip-toe very quickly in and out of the shower room!

That's it for now. I'll let you know when the next time my hand comes up full of air after reaching for something left behind in the states.
