I hate the grocery store that is down the street, but I end up going there more often than not anyway because I'm too lazy to go to the ones that are outside of town.

I live two miles from a grocery store and that seems ridiculously far! But I manage, because waterfront. Although we did suggest in the Specific Plan workshop that bringing a Trader Joe's or something into downtown would be a good idea.

Argh. I've been looking into all kinds of options for teams and roles. The door has been closed on a thing I was looking into here in Chicago, or at least the door won't be open until much later this year. I have an interview with Dublin in half an a hour. I'll just try to go into it without worrying if I get it.

Without a car I am pretty much in a food desert- I have a small grocery store which is a 20 minute walk, but over a bridge not made for walking so much, a larger grocery store 15 minutes by bus (but the bus only runs once an hour), and Wegman's, the pinnacle of grocery stores, about an hour away by bus (they have only one store remaining within Rochester city limits-- all are now in the suburbs).

People without a car in my neighborhood have convenience stores for their groceries. There is a supermarket about a mile and a half away, but you have to walk over a complicated bridge/underpass thing that has to be negotiated.

We drive 15-20 minutes to a Meijer store b/c we like it best, but it would be excellent to have a co-op in the hood. Shit, we have 3 taco places, a bike co-op, a chicken feed store (okay, also general pet food and gardening stuff), and a dang microbrewery opening next week, but no grocery store. Something is wrong with that.

When I was a mile and a half away from a decent supermarket, I bought a sad amount of food at CVS. I am so used to being able to run out for stuff, having to plan ahead feels like a hardship! Now I walk by the supermarket, CVS, hardware store, etc., on my way home from work, and stop to pick up something more days than not.

We have a convenience store, and a liquor store that advertises that it carries milk so it probably has some other groceries that is closer than the grocery store, but those are both expensive and don't have, like, produce. There is an Asian grocery store over by the liquor store that has produce. I haven't been there because it's not on an of my regular routes anywhere - I would pretty much have to be going there to go by there. But I should see what they carry.

I just ran into the second computer this year that has had our software's data hit by ransomware. Nasty stuff.

I slept in until 6:30 and then skipped going to the kids' school and volunteering to work on stuff around the house, and I feel so much better about life. Also, the cat only woke me up at 3 and 5am, not every hour all night. And the dryer is nice and new and fancy! It tells you how long it plans to spend drying your clothes and goes "ding!"
