I'm sitting at my desk in my home office.

On my desk is a Reese's Cup.

One of those little bite size ones.

I'm trying to decide if I should eat it, or just leave it there.

It's my last one. I don't have anymore. If I eat it, it's going to be delicious. However, it will be gone in two seconds, and then that's it. It won't satisfy me. Then, I'll get a craving for a regular sized Reese's cup. But there are none here. So then I won't be able to sleep because I've eaten the Reese's cup, which triggered a craving for another one.

So, I'll just let it sit there. I'll try thinking about something else.

Fuck you, Reese's cup.

HEY...HEYYYYYYY....noooo....stop looking at me Reese's cup.

You prick. Stop it.

Prick.

Get outta my face. I mean it. I'll smash you...

In the beginning of this isolation thing, I did buy some candy. I wasn't able to ration it.

I've come perilously close to buying ice cream over the last several days, but I was able to resist. BUT tomorrow my daughter-in-law and three year old grandson, who have also been isolating, are going to come here to stay with me for possibly two weeks. There will be junk food. I hope I don't behave badly.

The only reason it is unopened is because I have another bag with 2 little cups left in it. I'll bet you are sooooooo jealous of me right now. Sorry, didn't mean to flaunt my wealth in your face. I'm like a billionaire of Reeses.

...as long as possible before you consume the last of a resource.

On the other hand, the Law of Lonely Goodies says that the last of a goodie should be consumed as SOON as possible to prevent its loneliness and separation anxiety from its brethren.

You must reconcile these two concepts quickly!

I have very little will power. If I am able, I give myself whatever I want.
And I smoke the best buds first. Save the best for last---BS!
