No tea

[louiselux]

I just drank a can of red bull cola as a substitute for tea, because there's no milk. It's not working. I need tea.

The reason there's no milk is that I just spent my last money-- the money I was going to use to buy milk-- on a giant envelope, which the post office lady made me pay for in actual cash, even though I was paying for some other things with my card. I wanted to say 'but I need this money for milk, so I can have a cup of tea' but I did not. I submissively handed over my milk money.

WHY?

That's tragic. There's ALWAYS milk at home. I make sure of it. I'm not joking when I say that I've got a hidden carton (or two) in my room in case of necessity because I can't live without milk. Not because I drink tea, but because of the milk itself.

I really hate it when unexpected turns of events prevent you from saying "no" in time. Dammit, we have to be prepared 24/7 to say "no" at every moment and place!

"Excuse me, do you...?"
"NO!!"

Yes! This is how I want to react next time. There won't even BE a next time.
