My shopping trip yesterday

I had a pretty standard Uber ride to the store, went in, there were about 10 carts and a guy just bringing them in.  I thanked him for working so hard and he said I had no idea. 

Many areas of the store were wiped out, fresh meat, bread, rice, beans, cup noodles, canned soup, tampons even.  I did find generic brand pads in my size so worst case (I already had some tampons) I can use those. 

They did have quite an array of fresh fruits and vegetables and many carts had them.  They had some water and TP which went quickly. 

I got my prescriptions.  I said it was funny the computer was giving them a hard time because of what I take and the condition, I really need to take my pills.  The tech looked at the names and said "Yes you do!"  we had a good laugh (even the pharmacist). 

I got some soda but most of the name brands were sold out.  A lady was grimacing on the meat/chili aisle because the "good" chili was sold out and she had to get the Wolf, which, as Ron said, "Is very greasy".  But grease = calories and I guess that makes it "keto".  LOL 

I got pretty much everything I came for.  I couldn't find good under bed storage boxes and that was frustrating.  I want something plastic as that saved all my underbed stuff in the great flood of '19. 

I had to double back after checking my list because I forgot the ham broth powder, find it in the Mexican section, it has a pig on it, you put it in beans for flavor.  It is really good and Ron loves it with split peas and some ham.  I figured better to have more as I have some dried beans at home. 

A pretty long wait to check out but they had cold soda in the display case so I had something to drink after checkout. 

I only had one problem, I apparently left $5 worth of merchandise on the whirly thing and walked out without it.  Unfortunately for me that had Cleo's treats in it. 

A guy was waiting outside looking at his phone and a Uber pulled up, he left.  A red car was assigned my trip but then cancelled, but I later saw the red car pull up and apparently see it was me.  That was a little odd. 

A nice older man got me, helped me with the groceries, and was very nice, got a good tip.  I had a good ride home, got everything in the house and put it up. 

I took off my mask, I found some pleated masks in my pantry when I was evaluating the contents.  They will be great for trips to the store.  I would love it if I could get Ron to wear one to work but we will see. 

Etsy, by the way, has a fair selection of fabric masks.  Many of them are sold out but you can get something. 

I tore the house up for an hour trying to find the $5 worth of stuff, told Ron it was not worth a $30 round trip to get, and gave up on it.  I did NOT lose the medication so I counted that a plus.  But still frustrating. 

They let me buy more than one, of some things, like the generic brand mac and cheese with bacon.  Generic brand 2 liter diet soda, that was about it. 

So not a bad trip. 

Today I took a nap after about 1 and slept a couple hours.  I had a Sq'uirm (Biscuit) in my bed, he was very wiggly laying on top of me but very happy to curl up.  I am normally a side sleeper so the cot was horrible for that, but the bed...ah.  Much better.  I slept pretty well but woke up with a nasty headache. 

I had a hemp smoke which killed it and am debating eating before I talk to my parents.  I was happy they put up a photo of their living room. 

My parents bought an "oriental" rug before I was even born and I had many happy childhood memories of the rug.  They were always very careful letting me on it, but it was a fixture.  When they moved to CA they took it with them. 

I was under the impression they had gotten rid of it when they moved, but I saw it in the photo, and that made me happy.  It is a nice rug but a little odd in that it is mint green.  I am not crazy about mint green, if my house is any indicator I am more an orange and purple girl.  :) 

But I am happy for the rug, that it still has a home with my Dad.
