I had told Farmer H on Thursday morning that The Pony was probably not going with me for Errand Day, because of feeling sick. I also asked Farmer H if there was anything he wanted from the store. In addition, the night before, Farmer H had declared out of the blue:
"I think I'm going to get myself some drumsticks."
With him not being in a band, I immediately surmised that he was talking about the little ice cream cones sold in the freezer section in boxes.
"Oh. Well. I guess you'll have to get them for yourself, because I don't think they would hold up very well if I get them at Country Mart tomorrow."
Flash forward to Thursday afternoon at 4:22. I tried to call Farmer H, but only got voice mail. So I sent a text:
"Starting home with groceries on the back seat."
At 4:27, while driving, I got a return text:
"I paid Lowe's bill and at my locker doing some straightening up be by 530"
I couldn't read it, because I was driving home. When I had one foot out of T-Hoe in the garage, Farmer H called.
"I didn't know you were going shopping. You never told me that. Can't you leave it in the car until I get home?"
Well. A couple things I could leave in the car. But not bananas and lemons and bread, which would get all hot and steamy if I left them in the garage for 90 minutes, which would shorten their shelf life.
Funny how Farmer H had NO IDEA that I do shopping EVERY Thursday...

🤔🤔 I'd guess the ice cream drumsticks too, but maybe chicken drumsticks? He can get those for himself as well anyway. How about next week you yell in his ear, "tomorrow is Thursday", see if he remembers it's your shopping day.
River,
That is not enough of a clue! I would need a calendar, and a large diagram of me walking into a store with a cart. Just tonight, I had to listen to Iron Chef after Farmer H went to bed, because I've only told him about 52 times that on Saturdays, he should put the TV on the channel that plays Saturday Night Live when he gets up to go to bed.
I actually got Farmer H's drumsticks today. I only went in Save A Lot here. Just 10 minutes home. I wrapped the box in my puffy coat that I leave in T-Hoe. Those (ice cream) drumsticks cost $8.00!!! At Save A Lot!!! There were 8 in the box. We could have ordered a large PIZZA for less than that! With 6 meats, on the current Domino's special. Since 10Box opened, you don't save much at Save A Lot!
