Norman gets out of bed after hitting snooze for the second time. His feet touching the cold floor. He slips on his fuzzy slippers and slowly stands up. He makes his way down the hall to the kitchen. Time for breakfast. He opens the refridgerator door and looks around. Norman usually likes his eggs scrambled, but today was different. Norman was going to attempt an omelette. He grabs the egg carton and opens it. Only two eggs. "Damn.", said Norman. He scouted the rest of the dwindling supply in refrigerator. Norman had been putting off getting groceries for nearly two weeks. He puts on a shirt, leaving his pajamas on, and grabs his keys. It was a typical day. Sun shining through a cloud patched sky. Norman gets in his car and starts the ignition. He begins his drive to the grocery store. Talk radio is on. It's about the presidential elections coming up. He listens to the entire segment at each red light. Shortly after the segment ends, he pulls in and parks in the middle of the lot. He walks in and grabs a hand basket. Twenty minutes later Norman feels he has gathered what he came for. Milk, cheese, butter, raisin bran, wheat thins.. check, check, check. Norman checks out and makes his way back home. He fumbles with his keys, and makes his way inside. Slamming his two heavy grocery bags on the counter, he starts unpacking them. "Alright, everything is in its place,", Norman opens the refridgerator door again. "Time for that omelette.". Norman forgot the eggs. "I guess I'll have raisin bran again.."
