Running out of shampoo
This month I'm going to run out of shampoo. I shower every day and I probably need a good tablespoon of shampoo to wash my thinning hair. This month I'll run out of shampoo. Why is that such a big deal? I haven't bought any shampoo in at least 4 decades. My wife always bought the shampoo, along with a lot of other things she managed. My wife died 11 September 2012. She was a bit of a hoarder. She would buy stuff on sale. She didn't seem to keep track of what we had on hand. It was on sale so she would buy it. After he death I began a purge. Some things I doesn't know what I should do with them. I have books and books of Postal Commemorative stamps that are only worth the value of the stamps which means I have to clip open and put tons of stamps on stuff. But in addition to lots of shampoo I still have at least 8 packs of forever stamps, and don't get me started on two dollar bills. Anyway I'm running out of shampoo. You can estimate anyway you want, but understand that I had a lot of shampoo stored in the bath closet. It is another milestone. A sad one, but nonetheless another milestone. As each day passes I lose another physical contact with my wife. Our dog has cancer. He probably won't make it another 12 months, and he is only 9 years old, but that is another chapter for another night.
