out of batteries

my electric sharpener has been out of batteries for about 2 years now.

i remember being ambitious a few months ago only to find out we didn't have the right kind to refill it.

i thought about being ambitious again last night,

but it is likely that we are still out of the same batteries we were out of 6 months ago.

as i remember it wasn't double A or triple A.

it was some fancy letter beyond B that is square.

C?

D?

i cannot remember.

and probably with the amount of time i have spent writing about these batteries i could have looked, checked, and put them on my list three times.

so instead of looking i'll just sharpen them by hand.

so pretty:)
