What's going on here, Vaseline?

On Monday I went to try and figure out how to write my letter to terminate my apartment contract.

It was awkward, because all you have to write in the letter is "I wish to quit my apartment the 30 November" and the letter looks really dumb with only one sentence in it.

Then I double-checked everything with the front-desk people and I walked to the post office to figure out what to do next.  I had to send the letter in a special envelope that would make the person sign for it so they couldn't pretend they hadn't read the letter.

Now, the post office is also a bank, so you know I had a good experience with it (raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by the electricity people though).

I had to fill out a bunch of sheets but the post office woman was really really nice and helped me a lot.  She was my favorite.

I actually received my receipt today that said the letter had already been delivered and signed for so that was very very exciting.

From there I went to go shopping on St. Catherine, but the store I wanted to go into was closed, and it kind of ruined my day.  So then I just went into all the other stores I found.  I had quite the disaster at the pharmacy.  I don't even know what's up with that.

I needed to buy a new toothbrush, as you already knew about, and I didn't think it was going to be an issue because everyone uses toothbrushes.  So I went into the pharmacy and it was sooooo busy.  I don't know how it could be that busy.

I picked up a toothbrush (which is weirdly soft and super bristly) and then I remembered that I also needed some Vaseline.  I figured Vaseline is a pretty common brand (since I saw the English girls with some so it must be around in some sense) so I just asked for it like a normal thing.

The Vaseline is kept behind the counter.  Like, what are you going to do with it that's nefarious?

In addition--the Vaseline has another brand on it.  Vaseline is already a brand!!!  I thought this was just to be clear, but no... the only ingredient is Vaseline--not petroleum jelly.  What is happening??  It's not like there's another active ingredient, or anything.

Moral of the story:  it's weird and makes me uncomfortable.  Also, look at how I'm holding my hand in that picture??  That's weird also, right?
