drinkin on empty

Per an earlier post about conscious consumption, I would like for you to know that: 1) I'm now setting an alarm for a certain length of time when I get in the shower, and when it goes off I get out, if I haven't already. It's really helping. I don't know how long I would shower for before, but this is definitely less time, and the fact of the timer ticking helps me not let my mind wander.

ALSO: I have purchased a canvas bag the size of a rowboat to use at the grocery store. That, plus the tote bag I got free when I signed up for Hippie Long Distance, plus the half-billion grocery store plastic bags, ought to keep us going for a long time.
