Considering my rather upset tummy yesterday, I figured that I’d try to eat a relatively mild lunch today. My first thought was to head over and grab a bagel at Starbucks, but as I walked that direction it occurred to me that I could instead swing by Pizza Schmizza for some breadsticks.

Denied. The line at Schmizza was almost out the door. I went back to my original plan of a bagel and cup of cocoa.

Denied. The Starbucks nearest to my workplace doesn’t sell bagels, and the pastries weren’t at all what I had in mind… and probably not a wise choice all things considered. I decided to hit the deli at Albertson’s for a fresh sandwich.

Denied. After waiting several minutes for anybody at all to come see if any customers needed help and then being told that it would be eight to ten minutes before I could get a simple cold-cuts sandwich, I gave up and went in search of the bakery.

Success! Some twenty minutes after leaving the office, I returned with two fresh bagels, some cream cheese spread and a small carton of chocolate milk.

So far, so good… my body is behaving itself. Let’s hope that remains the case, shall we?
