Next you head into the supermarket (remembering that you had to actually dress up, do your hair, fix makeup etc. to do this) and wander the aisles wasting time looking at ingredient lists and trying to remember if the gums, preservatives and additives have dairy / eggs in them... taking the rolls to the counter, working out whether or not you want to go through the self checkout or keep a checkout operator employed for a
few more years... pay... get back in the car... find somewhere to buy
bottled water for the
dogs... drive 50 km home... unpack
dogs and buns and suddenly getting up, stretching... wearing whatever the heck you like with your hair in the air, no makeup,
dogs within a hard stares range in case they feel like eating the furniture while you are working and that slow measuring out, baking etc. doesn't seem so time consuming any more.
I keep a kit in my car that has
dog treats, cat treats, a
few medical supplies, some
bottled water, bowls, towels, and leashes for this kind of situation.
Thanks to that white
dog with a heart - shaped patch on her side, I now travel everywhere with a leash,
bottled water and a
few dog treats in my car... just in case life gets in the way.
