Day 20: Low blood sugar

Hello dear blog friends, sorry to be neglectful.

Over the weekend my poor laptop was infected with a wicked bad virus but thankfully big brother Ben came to the rescue and fixed it! Reminder to all-- update your anti-virus anti-spyware stuff.

So I have oh so many things to update about plastic free life, but I'll start tonight with a short story. I was getting gas in my car after work and was really tired. I knew I had a 45 minute drive home and I felt low blood sugar and sleepy. I decided I would really splurge and get a small candy or something to spur me back to action for the drive.

Hoping to find a mini peanut butter cup or peppermint patty or something wrapped in foil or paper, I went inside. I looked and looked everywhere in this convenience store in downtown Lewiston and couldn't find one thing not in plastic.

Not one single thing.

It's everywhere! A headache grew and I hit the road for home, still sleepy but now cranky too. It blows my mind that literally every single thing for sale in that store was wrapped in plastic.

I'll have to be better at packing trail mix in paper bags in my glove box for low energy moments. It's probably for the best- all that "food" was junk anyway, and I'm better off not eating it. But boy was I cranky.
