Another new day, another excuse to stop by the pet shop. I go in looking for food for Paco, my tortoise, although I could have bought this any other day.

After looking at a couple of options, I grab a package and approach the counter.

—Hi, can you help me with this? It's for Paco. I'm not sure if it's the best thing for him.

I place the package on the counter and smile slightly.

—Lately it seems I have too many excuses to come here.
