Target owes me half a
multi-vitamin.
I think I've written in here before
about how both Loraine and I are insanely lucky that we're in good
health. Neither of us has any major problems, and neither of us is
on any kind of doctor-ordered medication, with the exception of a
daily multi-vitamin. I can see why; after all, even though we try to
eat as well as humanly possible, a little extra help never hurts,
right?
So we buy the multi-vitamins in these
big, 300-count bottles from Target. I knew my bottle was almost
empty, and this morning when I went to take the final one I received
a very odd surprise—only half of a vitamin tablet came out.
Nothing else was in the bottle—just half a vitamin pill. It made
me think for a second about a variety of things, foremost among
them—would half a vitamin pill provide what I needed for the day,
should I take a whole one from the new bottle, or should I combine
the two and be super-powered throughout the day? (Don't laugh at the
thoughts that pop into my head; it's been well-established in here
how my brain doesn't function very well that early in the morning) I
ended up taking a whole one from the new bottle and tossing the half
pill. I figured since I need all the help I can get, it was probably
the best course of action.
I have no idea how the half-vitamin got
into the bottle. Was it a manufacturing error? Did Target decided
to squeeze a little extra profit by giving me 299 ½ vitamins instead
of the 300 promised? Or did they lose a little extra profit by
giving me 300 ½ vitamins instead of the 300 promised? I don't know,
and those are the kind of questions that run through my brain early
in the morning when nothing else in my brain seems to function
properly.
Whether that's a blessing or a curse
I'll leave up to you.
That's how my morning's been so far.
I'm almost afraid to wonder what else is on the way!

Oh--you know how I was writing about my
new phone yesterday? Well, someone told me it had a great camera on
it, so I took it out in the sun yesterday to see for myself.
What do you think?
Sorry about the subject. I know I need
help.
