A Decision to Make

The $2.50 tupperware sits in the back of the fridge, shoved there by time, impatience, and procrastination.

I take it out, set it on the counter. Cringe at the color of what oozes beneath the lid.

I should empty it. Wash it. Double wash it.

I could.

I'm capable.

Instead

I drop the whole thing unopened into the trash can and walk away, satisfied in $2.50 well spent.

Rest easy, two week old soup. We hardly knew ye.
