Honesty and the Economy

I slept for a really long time today. I lost the battle with consciousness around 2 am but my sleep after that was restless. I've been experiencing weird sensations lately. Soon after the fire I would wake up from a really deep sleep, smelling smoke. I would throw off the covers, fly out of bed with my heart beating so hard and fast that I was sure it was going to explode from my chest. This lasted for a while and then seemed to go away. I would have an 'attack' every 6 months or so and then, well, I couldn't tell you the last time I had one. But now I've had four in the past 2 weeks. I can't explain how real the smell is. Only this time it's not smoke... it's something more sweet. It's almost the smell of chocolate chip cookies but right when the bottoms are starting to burn. I wake up from a dead sleep, throw off the covers and right when I am about to fling open the door, I realize I was only dreaming. I can't smell anything anymore. I lay back down but my heart is thudding so hard that my lips are tingling and the muscles in my legs and arms are quivering from the adrenaline. 

It takes me a while to get back to sleep. I know that increased anxiety can cause these things to pop back up again (Although, I feel more relaxed now than I have in a while) so I'm hoping that once I get into a rhythm of things, it'll calm down.

A few hours ago I was standing in the kitchen looking at a box of crackers and a half full jar of peanut butter. I haven't had water in two days. I think I'm peeing pure V8 Fusion and Diet Coke. The Diet Coke is stolen from my room mate. We have tap water, it just hasn't gotten to that point. Just as I was walking to the silverware drawer, I remembered a piece of advice from my grandmother. "Look through pants pockets when you have no money, and you WILL find some!!" Notice I didn't specify to only look through one's own pants, lol. Just kidding, kinda. Long story short, I found $11!  I got a huge 24 pack of bottled water, 6 yogurts, milk, bread, and lunch meat. The point is coming, hang in there! 

At the checkout I left the water in the buggy because they have those neato guns and water is heavy. A yogurt was swiped and all 6 were put in the bag. I've done that before, you just hit enter 5 times. But enter wasn't pressed. After everything was scanned I politely nodded at my water and said "And the water too, please". Green eyes met mine and I was told "I got it already." The water wasn't scanned or entered into the system. What would -YOU- do??
