because no one is open at all over the holidays. not only are they closed on christmas, early on new year's eve and all day long on new year, then we have a stinking local holiday on 4 january. seriously?! we didn't just have enough days off? and all the tiny wee shops in the tiny wee village where i'm staying just now are all closed. because their tiny wee owners can do that, i guess. but how am i supposed to buy groceries, especially when the co-op is out or ridiculously over-priced? i don't have a car. bus travel here is expensive and it takes a good while to get into a big enough town to have shopping. and then i have to carry it all back on my aching back without falling on my back side in the ice and snow. no thank you!
so i just ended up carting back about two tons worth of food from my pantry at home, when i was back for two days' worth of appointments. it nearly killed me, hauling that case in the icy snow all the way to the train station... but at least i'm not starving now. because i'm not sure when or if i'll be able to order in groceries, because i had to spend my life savings on posting parcels home to everyone for christmas. which, again, is another story in itself...
