What have you been putting off doing? Why?

Putting away the groceries:

Groceries come in different shapes and sizes.

They do not walk on their own. I need to take multiple small steps to reach my pantry/cupboard, the freezer or the refrigerator to get the task done. My watch doesn’t add those small steps amd it is not considered an exercise!

Even before that they have to leave the car. Vegetables that are round in shape can roll themselves out of the bag during transit.

Groceries are now bagged in big boxes in Indian stores, plastic bags when we ask them elsewhere and places like costco do not give amy bags. That too needs to be put away.

Getting them delivered is not free. For nearly three decades we have not paid a penny for delivery services so our brain tuned those delivery charges as expensive so we need to make that trip to that grocery store.

Indian spices are many. The cumin comes in different sizes. When I cut open the bags, I need to be careful to put them in the right jar or my curries can taste different.

I do not get any credit, promotion or atleast an artificial crown for putting them away. Just get a frown from others that I am messy when the task is not done . What a big job it is.

Now off to unpack those ingredients so I can make a Sunday meal for my family.
