I went shopping after work when I was hungry and low on energy. That is reflected by the number of convenience foods at the bottom of the list. I went grocery shopping at Ukrops. While I don't agree with all of the politics of the owners, it is a privately owned regional chain of grocery stores that is closed every Sunday. And quite frankly I think we could all do with a few more 6-day-a-week shops. Though I wouldn't agree that the day off should necessarily be Sunday. I'm more interested in a closing day that suits the needs of the people rather than the Christian religious institutions. But more on that another day.

2) Hanging file folders from Staples. The first step in an attempt to pull my study into some semblance of order.

3) Plane tickets. Environmentally unsound and expensive, what more could you ask for?

4) Direct debit for my UVA student loan went through today. Somehow this student loan got lost in the efforts to consolidate and as a result I now pay it separately every month.
