First psychotic break

Wandering down the isles of the supermarket, I was multi-tasking.  Waiting for an oil change, and a perscription to be filled while also doing my grocery shopping for the week.  My mind was whirring and chaotic, flashing from products to sale tags and vaguely entertaining questions from my 3 year old.  Children are adept at [...]
