Now that I am mostly moved into the house, I am getting used to shopping again, especially for groceries! My usual routine is to buy no more than I can fit in one or two small dorm size room refrigerators and maybe a small shelf or basket near by because that was all I had available to me, and that worked for lunches and the few other instances when the boys and I were eating together and certainly for me eating alone at my BQ. I would buy a few more things when I house sat being that I had a large fridge, but I was still careful to buy mostly perishables or other foods we would eat within a week or so because I would have to move it all back out again and fit it in dorm room size refrigerators when the real owners came back to claim their digs. :)
So, I have gone a little wild with shopping for food the last week or so and for sure, today. My boyfriend keeps asking why I am buying so much food, and I say, “Well, I’m not used to being able to buy stuff that I don’t have to use immediately or within a week, so I am kind of overbuying right now.” I suppose I’ll have to go through this stage until I get used to being in my own home again. I still feel a bit in shock that this “thing” I have dreamed about happening for the last three plus years has finally happened. It’s like I’m waiting for the other reality to come back and slap me in the face, but it hasn’t yet. I’m really here, stocking up a full size refrigerator and a full size freezer, which is not even close to full yet, thank goodness! It’s been a wild ride, my last 13+ years on the atoll, that’s for sure, but I can handle it. Heck, after what I’ve been through the past decade, I think I can handle almost anything. Isn’t God amazing? Couldn’t have made it through AT ALL without Him! His faithfulness is new EVERY MORNING when mine waxes and wanes with the trade winds. Thankfully, He loves me anyway, and I am blessed!
