this is adulthood

Adulthood is going to Costco and trying to be healthy by buying 3 huge cucumbers instead of a big box of goldfish. Sooo I was an adult. I did the thing. Then…my dad made the mistake of telling me cucumbers recently got recalled. This was the biggest and best excuse to not eat my cucumbers. I even ended up throwing one away out of suspicion. The truth was I did want to eat them, but when opening the fridge they were never attractive. I simply couldn’t get myself to take the cucumbers out of the plastic wrap, cut them up, and eat them. I was just too worried about what to do if I didn’t eat the whole cucumber. Easy fix. I have Tupperware. Still, my dad handed me this excuse, so every time I opened the fridge I let myself use that excuse for not taking them out of the plastic wrap, cutting them up, and eating them. Well, I leave town tomorrow so it has dawned on me that it’s time to do the damn thing. I unwrapped them from the skin-tight plastic wrap, chopped them up, and put them in a bowl to eat. It was going great. I was chomping on some cucumbers and watching The Circle. Then I got on my computer and eating those cucumbers completely escaped me. Now I have about a cucumber and a half left to eat before I leave tomorrow. Well, I guess wish me luck in this competition of Lucy vs the cucumbers.
