I saw actual Clorox wipes on Sunday and nearly had the same kind of meltdown, Katerina. I didn't buy them, because my stash (from The Before Times) is good, but it was tempting.

Also saw some flour, which I almost went for, but I'm still working my way through the giant bag of Bob's Red Mill. And it may have ruined me for lesser flour, because the two loaves of bread I've made from it have actually been the best I've ever made. I didn't think that the flour could make such a difference...

Going into the office today. I was up and feeding the dog at 7:20, plenty of time to actually get into office on time, but no. Now it's 8:40. I should have been logged on 10 min ago and I am not even showered yet. Poop!

I'm sitting here procrastinating about getting ready for work because I'm resentful and angry still about going to work.

I read an article this morning about local mall openings. Ours and one nearby won't have seating in the food court but one will. And it looks like that one also isn't mandating that dressing rooms be closed.

Also I really want to get a trip to Costco in, well send Matthew but he'd have to take my car (the back of his won't open), and I didn't think of this yesterday when I was off and I don't know my next day off so we have to coordinate about when he will go and dropping me off/picking me up.

We could do instacart but I've noticed that store websites aren't listing everything available for delivery orders and I'd rather have him go and see what is available.

And I think I left a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my jeans pocket Monday and they maybe washed. I hope I didn't lose that hand sanitizer we are running low.

Yay, dip! You look great!

Our parks opened today, with restrictions. The playground equipment is still roped off and they warned against gatherings and such. We'll see. DH is going to run over and see if the dog park is open because the article didn't specifically say. Boat ramps are open though so maybe a boat ride is in my future.

Yesterday was, interesting. Because my doctor is a freak I ended up going to the hospital and getting a bunch of blood work and a contrast type chest CT for lungs and heart stuff. I personally think I pulled a chest muscle swimming, but doctor (because freak) of course thinks heart attack or pneumonia. Don't have the blood stuff back yet, but the scans were all delightfully "unremarkable", or as I pointed out to my family, the only thing about me that is unremarkable. Doctor still wants me to come today for Covid test, which is fine because more than happy to know.

For your amusement, some of the hairstyles I've been through in the last nine months:

Awesome to see your smiling face! With or without eyebrows!

I'm glad your Dr is being overly cautious Laura.

Work is. Eh. The ship from store business with the managers here has really kept things afloat. If it hadn't there would have been layoffs.

Managers were not keeping any distance from each other at the morning meeting and it bothers me. Partly because it sets a bad example for everyone else

More masks worn by ppl today. Our mask orders are delayed and may not be here on Friday. For the store I mean. They are trying to get some to us for Friday for ppl who don't have any

Mostly people around here are very compliant, but every once in a while I will see a cluster of people with no masks and it just is so frustrating.

Yesterday on my ride down the beach there was a cluster of about 8 people waiting for the light to change. All had masks except one runner, but she stood way to the side of the rest of them jogging in place waiting for the light.

I see a lot of dog-walkers and runners who aren't wearing masks, but most people have been really good about wearing masks into the bakery. Keeping them far enough apart is tough, though, without marks on the floor (which the owner won't have; she won't even let us put a sign up about the masks, although every other open store in town has one). Our space isn't that big, either, and we don't have enough staff to have someone work the door (not that the owner would have that either, honestly).

But an Italian market in the next block is monitoring the number of shoppers in the store at all times, insisting on masks, and providing gloves, which they ask you to put on.

The grocery I go to has six-foot markers (pre-printed signs with foot icons) and all the aisles are marked one way. There are, of course, the people who plant themselves in an aisle and I find myself with the choice of either walking within six feet of them or turning around and going the wrong way in that aisle to try another. On the bright side, most people seem to be wearing masks; the cashiers are wearing gloves. I have to bag my own groceries, since I use my own reusable bags. All in all, it's not bad ... but I've been making a point of getting there early, when there aren't that many people in the store.
