the one about the air bubbles in the Aero chocolate

Last night I was lying down in a bed I have.  It was about 3AM.  I was thinking on a specific chocolate bar, this one with air bubbles it's really super and the packaging is wonderful.  I think it's European—Aero might be the name.  This gas station in Beverly Hills sells it for $3 and so does one in Santa Monica on 4th Street for the same price, maybe even higher if the Mozart bar there was $5.  I bought the latter one time trying to curry favor with the owner cause he was present, and he was impressed.  I held my smile until I sat back down in my truck cause I realized I had just paid $5 dollars for a chocolate marzipan bar the size of my jujubee when I was a baby, while smiling.  The other thing is, the gas station on 4th Street in Santa Monica?  Well, that station is actually on 5th Street.  I just said 4th Street because it sounded better.  Over there by 4th Street > Over there by 5th Street.  Why are you still reading this?  What else...and I know babe's favorite number is 5—I remember distinctly when she told me: I don't know, 5?  But that doesn't mean I'm going to start slapping on 5 to everything.  Anyway, so I laid in that one bed and went through all the various gas stations I knew in the Los Angeles area in my head.  I know way more than 5 of them.   And Los Angeles may actually be a commonwealth.  I tried to picture to the best of my ability the chocolate layout of all the respective stores.  The chocolate bar is a rare find.  I hoped to enjoy the Aero for maybe $2.50 sometime this week.  It's not unreasonable thinking to wonder if it's out there for me at $1.99 even.  But not $5.  By that time it was close to 4:05AM.  The next time I opened my eyes and checked my pageview machine, it was 5:57AM.   I wobbled out of bed and brought a Skinny Cow half-air bubble chocolate bar from the kitchen back to that specific bed.  I ate half of it, kissed my dog got under the blanket and slept.  She returned to me in the winter after I turned off my detox fan.  I woke up and I was a little late for work.
