Day Trips

It takes half a day's worth to grocery shop when you have a wife recovering at home.  With items that spread across multi-designated stores at all different directions from where you live, grocery shopping becomes a bit of a project.

It was my second or third time of these day trips so far, and I've already made friends with a couple of the store owners.  For some odd reasons, I find myself talking to strangers more actively, maybe I am happier since our boy is here, or I get to take coffee/tea breaks in between my commute between theses stores :) j/k

I don't mind long drives, but getting on and off of a car usually bugs me, yes I admit I am quite lazy.  But when my family needs me, I no longer find it irritating.  In fact this often reminds me of this reality show in Japan (ナニコレ珍百景), where toddlers are assigned to make solo grocery trips and do funny things.  Maybe we should let our boy do something like that as soon as he can walk (IF my wife does not object).
