I slept later than usual (was reading until 1am). Then dressed and out for my weekly shopping trip. Scored Dove ice cream bars (swooning as my store has NEVER carried them before today) and two containers of Sprinkles. G is asking for Sprinkle Cookies (Deb!!). And I selected a bottle of Balsamic Glaze to drizzle on my stacked eggplant and fresh mozzarella.
The aisles at the grocery are labelled very clearly in BIG LETTERS- enter only or exit only. We are supposed to go one way- like a long snake.. So many going every which way and hard to be 6 feet away. So I just adjusted my expectations (waited for them to be gone) and was happy to be wearing my gloves and mask.
90% had on a mask. I stayed away from the ones who did not--mostly young people--who looked very confused by everything. Didn't have to wait outside in line. So panic shopping might be tapering off. No toilet paper. No fig jam. They did have 12 boxes of store brand kleenex. Don't flush kleenex. It doesn't dissolve. Use it and bag it-!!!!! My public service announcement.
I got Tylenol for Arthritis. It says it's good for tooth pain and so far- I only took one pill not two-- my jaw is not aching. Still making noise but not as much. Good enough.
I bought radishes and two broccoli "crowns" and ate a few of the radishes- so crisp and delicious- I was wishing I had bought MORE. I was craving crisp fresh veggies.
In answer to Deb's question in the comments- the meatballs and marinara-- so so fine!!!. And the best part wasn't the food itself. It was the 60's rock and roll I danced to while making the food. Only one in the house, so got the volume WAY UP and just had a really good time. Was having flash backs of college and the music in the hallways before it was Time To Study.
Picture at the top is my vintage washer dryer. I had to do a load of gardening clothing G wore yesterday. If you look close- a little 2 is in red on the panel. This is the spot where things go wrong if I don't watch. So I watch and jump up if the water fills overlong. And manually make it move to rinse and spin. Better than the big mop up of gallons of water on the floors.
Oh....I bought a pair of socks at the grocery store. They are in the washer. They are not wool. I am waiting to see what they are like after washing and drying and if they are good- I will buy more. The grocery has them in brown (ones I got) and black. I am NOT getting my hopes up until they come out of the dryer. Husband says they will all be gone when I return next Thursday. That's okay. It will take time to find out of they are good socks.
Ha,ha. I'm one of those going every which way at the grocery. I honestly did not see those big signs til I was half way through my shopping. I was too intent upon getting what I needed and get out of that place,my glasses were steaming and couldn't see well also! Shopping is such a chore, wonder if I'll ever be able to enjoy it again. Going to be even worse with the shortages they keep warning us about. I wish the newscasters would keep such info off the airwaves....not likely!
