John felt better today and offered to go shopping for some things I forgot to buy yesterday. I carefully wrote him out a shopping list and off he went.
John LOVES shopping and, even though he's not eating as much as he used to, he just cannot resist a bargain. When he was well, our freezer was always crammed to bursting. Since he's been poorly and not up to shopping much, I've been running the freezer down so that I could actually see what's inside. Not any more!
He came back beaming all over his face with lots of freezer stuff so we should be quite alright for food for several weeks now. It's like going on a Polar expedition opening that freezer!
Joking aside, it did my heart good to see the old John back again. He can go shopping any time he likes if it makes him happy. We'll just have to buy a new freezer and keep it in the shed. :0)
