When Billy came back from work, he gave an impression of restlessness, he could not hide from even the least unconscious individual. Although he felt very tired to do anything, he knew at the back of his mind that it was inevitable he get himself something to eat that evening. In spite of his tiredness, he was completely at odd with the time he finds himself. The reason was very clear.
Because he lived alone, hence, he expects no one to get him anything to eat neither to encourage him from any form of slackness. With what looks like a moment of confusion in this context, he immediately figures out the quickest way to get over his predicament.
Again in what looks like a brilliant idea to get over his slackness, he discovered at the very last minute he has non any of the very ingredient to do anything, even for whatever he may choose to prepare. He contemplated for a split of a second whether to go for it or not. But the reality is that, for quite some time, he has taken the decision that the moment he was in, he was never going to come out until the second day.
But this particular moment seems to be quite different. What seems to stand out among his reasons rightly or wrongly, was simply that it is weekend, therefore, it appear a peculiar time in his modest estimation. Yes, it so because no shopping mole will be open as always the case. It became imperative under any circumstances that he must dash out to get what he need and not what he wants.
Beside, these are things he need to have, if he must eat something or he would go to bed without food. In a moment of reflection, he burst into laughter that was to consume the better part of his time as he immediately realized he must avoid what had happen the other night when he had to bed without food.
The laughter, however, no doubt, tends to relief him of his worry that had built up overtime. It was his Granma who always tell him to learn to laugh at himself whenever he has some cracking moment, because it helps and with this he always remember her always.
Because the moment you can afford to laugh at yourself, no one can laugh at to hurt you. And as it were, he made up some list of items which were the things that he has been lacking overtime. if not due to his unusual procrastination of which his current environment must be held responsible. Even if he could do without any other ingredient, he could not do without the most basic one like salt of all ingredients.
With this observation, he became more alert after the laughter, as if he has taken tonic that was to propel him through the entire moment of preparation for the procurement of the items. Once again, he manage to remove only his shirt and then sat down in one of the couch, just to be sure of what he was going out for. At that moment in time, he realized that the problem was not actually the tiredness but avoidance of spending the extra cash left for anything that very evening, he remind himself.
But in this very evening, it is about what is lacking and indeed, about food at this point in time. Unfortunately, he could not afford to fulfill such promise he had made to himself not to spend for anything. And of cause, what looks like a personal discrepancies, no doubt, sometimes has its justification. Although such justification, might only tends to portray him as a miser in the open, he remind himself, once again as a potential defect to guide against.
With this reflection, he tends to dissipate the accumulated emotion as he disappear into the open with his regain energy , and set out for his acquisition for the evening. With his regained energy, he set out for his acquisitions for the evening. As he came back, he was sure he was going for what he called “bricolage’’ which means a quick set of whatever was available to cook just to appease the stomach for the night.
