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!
