Honestly I really like my new neighborhood.
I do.
I do.
I'm a creature of habit and expected this transition to be a slow and painful one but surprisingly enough, that hasn't been so.
My friends have all basically been living/moved here.
My apartment is beautiful.
And up until now anything I've needed or wanted has been at most, a five minute's walk away.
Till just now.
When I walked in my pajamas, with no makeup, in broken flip flops, in the rain, to the grocery store to buy:
tampons.
One grocery store
Three dollar stores
and probably over six bodegas later
apparently no one in the whole of Bushwick has ever heard of these.
Fuck.
