GT,
I guess it was the absent
flow of racing thoughts replaced by a basic "grocery list" of thoughts.
Instead of:
"oh my gosh, oh my goodness, what is going on...I have to find out...what am I going to do...this is bad, bad, bad...worry, worry, worry...blah blah blah
It was:
Milk - "oh my goodness"
Butter - "oh my gosh"
Eggs - "must worry"
Bread - "whole wheat"
Drinking, in and of itself, never occurred to me. Was totally absent (as far as I can tell) from it.
So, yes, I think you nailed it when you posted "uncertainty about whether or not there is something about drinking there".
