This is how all of us coped with the winds the other day. Sometimes you just need to burrow down under the covers.
Now, we have rain. And more rain for several days next week. Pardon me while I groan.
I ended up running a few errands yesterday. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I absolutely abhor shopping in stores these days, the only exceptions being bookstores and antique stores. I needed to buy a few things, so I had to drive south to a town that has a Home Goods and a Michaels. Trying to find my way to this particular shopping center via a strip of nothing but shopping centers drove me nuts. I finally figured it out with the help of GPS. Then, into the stores where I didn’t find what I really wanted, but did find two inexpensive bath towels, which we definitely needed. Then I visited Michaels, where I again didn’t find what I wanted, but did find a bathroom, which I desperately needed. Had to use GPS again to find my way out of the warren of shops and roads and drove to a grocery store to pick up a few things that we needed. Then home. This took about 3 hours. I was a bit dehydrated as well, but was able to grab a bottle of water at the grocery store to drink on the way home.
Honestly, I detest shopping. Years ago, I loved it; I spent hours in the mall, and thought nothing of driving a long distance to ‘go shopping.’ Those days are over. Fortunately, Don likes grocery shopping so he takes care of it most of the time, but I wanted to give him a break yesterday as he had to perform last night and tonight.
And, in each and every store I entered, I was the only one with a mask on. And yet, I keep reading of people who are vaccinated getting Covid for the first time. Sigh. I guess they have decided that it’s no big deal now, but facts tell me otherwise.
I’m becoming a reclusive senior citizen. I’m actually okay with that.
What are your plans for the weekend?
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
