If not for catfood...

   ....I would have left the grocery store.  It's been since August 2, and except for stopping in to pick up an item or two, I haven't been grocery shopping. But the house was pretty much empty of food, so I decided it was time to replenish the groceries.  As I started to push the cart through the aisle, while mentally assessing what I needed to buy, it came to me that I would only be buying whatever groceries I would be using myself.  I felt that now familiar shock of emptiness, and wanted to leave the store.  I didn't though, because we needed cat food.
