big day out

This morning, I made my first trip to the store (Dollar General) in over a month. How exciting! It was the first time I had to wear a mask out in public. Needless to say, I’m starting to run low on some things. I’m going to have to go grocery shopping next week, too. I guess I’ll be back to my weekly trips to the store now, unless the case counts skyrocket or something. We have been fortunate to only have a few cases in Cambria county. I hope it stays that way.

Fisher’s Country Store in Bedford has bulk sales (meat, seafood, etc.) multiple times a month. Not knowing what the meat situation is going to be since some of the processing plants are closed, Brian and I split boxes of chicken tenders and chicken thighs, so that should get us through any temporary shortages. But, I occasionally buy these even when there aren’t shortages because they are a really good deal.

courting trouble

Like all Lisa Scottoline books, I enjoyed reading this one. Maybe not as much as some of the others, but it was good. And, it was from the Bennie Rosato series, which I really like. There was a twist at the end which I saw coming, but I didn’t quite guess the result correctly.

My rating: 3/5

buy-bye, prime

It’s been a good run, but I’ve decided to let my Amazon Prime membership lapse. I’m doing this for a number of reasons: I’ve been trying to buy things from other places whenever possible because I think Jeff Bezos has enough money; due to coronavirus, they’re taking forever to ship, so Prime shipping is kind of meaningless right now; I don’t use any of the other benefits.

overcharged

Despite being a bunch of introverts, Jake and I are starting to get bored at home. The other day, we were talking about how introverts recharge by having some alone time whereas extroverts recharge by being with other people. He then said something about being overcharged and I think he hit the nail on the head–all we have been doing is recharging for over a month and our batteries have had it.

Luckily, it sounds like things might be opening back up to some extent in May. If I could get back to volunteering, I’m sure that would discharge my battery a bit. And, if Jake could hang out with his friends again, I’m sure he would be a lot happier.

 

modern family

This show came to an end this year after 11 seasons. It’s been one of my favorites, but the quality has dropped off the past few seasons. Still, I will miss hanging out with the extended Pritchett family every week.
