Transitions

The first grocery list after moving the first load of stuff into a new place reveals such insights. Often created in fury of distracted activity, the first grocery list is gutteral reaction of priorities and needs. Take for instance this list:

Coffee
Soymilk
TP
Paper towels
Wine
Sugar
Salt

Missing is any vehicle for the salt....just the idea that I MUST HAVE salt: its importance equals coffee and TP. As I fumble with the futon screws and attempt to determine how I fit into this new space, I will ponder the hierarchy of needs.
What would be on your first grocery list?
