baking soda is a pretty common baking item, right? right. normal grocery stores are fully stocked with baking soda at all times. well, i went to the commissary for several weeks in a row and they were out of baking soda. what the what? when i finally found baking soda, i bought 8 boxes. okinawa has turned me into a hoarder. i have a pantry full of baking soda, garbanzo beans, and coconut milk. if i find something i want/need, i feel the strong need to buy multiples of it. like multiples of 10. i just bought items for three different holidays in fear they won't be available next time i go. it may be a problem.
it has also made me a hoarder of things that need to be retired. take my favorite pair of jeans for example. the right pocket is now just a hole and the top button keeps falling off but i just keep re-attaching it and rocking the jeans. i refuse to give them up in fear of what i may have to replace them with. in some ways, it is a good thing. it makes me fix things i would otherwise just throw away and makes me make due with what i have.
in other news, i feel like i am getting a little dumber. my spelling has taken a huge hit lately and my music knowledge is decreasing. it's very disconcerting. i also lost my big toenails from hiking mt. fuji. good thing it's finally cooling off and i can wear real shoes cause my feet are real ugly.
this weekend is veteran's weekend and i am excited for a long weekend. originally i was going to go to taiwan but it didn't end up working out so i'm going to enjoy a fun weekend on island. maybe do some touristy things i've been putting off.
