Costco Run

Unfortunately, I shopped during a panic week.  So far, I've had great luck avoiding the crazy shopping days, but the meat shortage rumors have hit main stream.  Since I went early, I was okay (barely).  Costco was a mad house ... out of so many things ... most meat gone, lots of pantry stuff.  The checkout line was all the way to the back of the store and it wound around.  (It moved quickly though.)

Kudos to Costco.  They are REQUIRING a face covering starting next week.  This man was close to me from behind with no mask and an employee asked if we were together.  He told the man, "step away from this lady."  If I was allowed to kiss a stranger, I would have kissed that employee.  Thank you, sir!!

When I left the line wrapped around the building to get inside and no one was 6 feet apart.  I would have turned around and gone home if that was the line when I arrived.  I had 2 people in front of me.

Looks like my new quarantine hobby is online shopping.  Can't drink, can't bake, can't snack, can't go out.  I ordered living plants.  By gosh, by golly ... my goal of 5 live plants is happening.  SIX are coming in the mail.  All easy, potted plants.  I want to start an herb garden, but it might wait for next year.  I have exactly NOTHING to plant herbs and I don't want to go out shopping for it.  Online ordering of that stuff is expensive.  The pre-planted herb gardens are on waitlist.  P.S.  I currently have 2 living plants and they are alive and looking well ... yea ME!

I had an intractable headache yesterday -- probably hormones since nothing took it away.  I don't have headaches often, thankfully.  I feel much better this morning.  After Costco, I didn't nothing.  Hubby changed his car appointment and I hung out.  I was so tired from Costco and too many people. Zoom call with family was fun.  I never get a word in because my family is LOUD.  I sat back and listened and loved the fact that I have great ladies in the family.

I did a little Jen Hatmaker reading -- new book, Fierce.  So far, it's not awesome.  I've listened to her a lot ... in person, podcasts, interviews, etc.  Nothing new in the book.  Even her fun story telling is the same that she's told many times.  I'm skim-reading.  I LOVE her though.  I think she shines more in her speaking -- maybe audible for this book would be better.  Her webcast is tonight with Brene Brown (among a few others).  I want to listen, but it's not until 8 pm -- I wonder if I can access it tomorrow too.  Of course, I could be a big girl and stay up to hear it.  Doesn't look like it's available at another time.

Still hanging with a stiff neck and sore heel -- both are on the mend though.  One day I might be fully functioning LOL.

Stay well.  XOXO.
