I did get 2 masks completed last night and another cut out, so at least that got done. Goal is to get 2 more done tonight. Then I think I have a family of 5 to do and I will be caught up with requests.

I feel like someone here asked for one that I am missing.

I almost never go out so I've just been using bandannas.

I know that knits are not the best, but my tied-up t-shirt part is so comfortable! And I can put something between the two layers if I'm going somewhere. I'm not that pressed when I'm just going for a walk. ALTHOUGH I still saw a couple of people out with no mask this morning when they became mandatory here yesterday.

Drinks wise I've only made dark and stormies and Paloma-ish (grapefruit soda and tequila and lime).

I wanted to get grapefruit soda yesterday, but I already had too many groceries! Stupid walking to the store.

She was also flabbergasted at some of the many tropical fruits we really don't get. They have such good fruit there but it didn't occur to me they don't get good apples or cherries or blueberries (she's never had those! And only canned peaches!)

That is so interesting! You kind of forget that some things are still regional (even if it's just about demand).

People who are wearing gloves, I think, are only doing it as a reminder to self, or do not understand cross-contamination.

The latter, I think. There are some places around here that have signs up that you aren't allowed in WITH gloves.

t obligatory Ohio has food year-round. t /obligatory

I had a whole discussion with some coworkers about how globes are not magic like that!

ETA: gloves, not globes

I use bandannas, too. I have several in different colors, so I can coordinate with what I'm wearing.

AUGH. I donated blood last Thursday and had some kind of allergic reaction, presumably to the antiseptic, so I have what's basically a mosquito bite around where the needle went in and I ignored it for a while and am now using a steroid cream on it and it still itches like a mofo and is slowly driving me insane.

If we are on the registers at work we have to wear gloves. I will be sanitizing my hands as often as possible even with gloves.

At the meeting this morning I asked something about customers not following directions and my manage was most giddy when he said he would tell them no. We have a lot of power now, or managers do so the "customer is always right" thing is going to end for the most part.

If anyone has been looking for shelf-stable milk options without much luck (I could not find unsweetened coconut for weeks), Sprouts, which has instacart delivery, has a lot available for me locally.

Random thought: A show about a group of monsters that live at the corner of Maple and Elm.
