Ketchup Situation

“How’s the ketchup situation? Do we need any?” M innocently asks via Blackberry Messenger. Well, if you read this blog, then you will surely know that the ketchup situation is absolutely dire and she has been using the contents of a family size ketchup bottle entirely as pasta sauce. Of course, I reply, “Yes, we do.”

When she got home, she put the new ketchup bottle in the fridge and notices the old ketchup bottle, which is empty and turned upside down (something she has done, you’d think that if you turned the ketchup bottle upside down yourself, you would have a mental note telling you that the ketchup is empty and you should purchase more.) She then exclaims, “Oh! We did need more ketchup!” Like I was fucking lying.

She also went to the doctor today to get back on her anemia drugs. She was off of them because she couldn’t afford to get them without medical coverage. Now that her health plan has kicked in at the ol’ Starbucks, she decided it was time to get health on again. Wrong. The doctors at the clinic closed early due to some sort of shortage of staff. Poor M, sick another day.
