Deodorant travails
I'm getting quite frustrated with myself lately. In the cabinet in my bathroom I have three sticks of deodorant. Two of them are in use, and the third one hasn't been opened yet.
Every morning when I'm getting ready to go, I reach in the cabinet to bust out some deodorant. I don't know why, but every time I do, I always try to grab the unopened one and use it, even though I know I have two that are already opened and need to be used before I open the new one. I even rearranged them so that the new one would be in a different spot, but I still grab for it anyway.
I don't know exactly why I do this, or what it means. It probably means nothing. Could it be that I have nothing else to write about? Maybe. Is there some kind of Deodorant Gravity that I don't know about, instictively pulling me towards the greatest concentration of deodorant? It truly makes me wonder.
For my next experiment, I may put the new deodorant in a box or hide it behind something, and see if I still try to grab it in the morning. But if I do that, I will probably never find the deodorant again, and then I will be bitching even more about how I had to spend $3.50 or whatever on more deodorant when I KNOW there's a new one somewhere in the house.
