Our farmers markets are open, too, and the one near me is super hard core about safety. It's great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay beach!
Grocery store was fine. I guess they are not doing the one way aisles in this store, but it was sparsely populated enough that I never had to squeeze past anyone anyway. Spent almost double what I had planned to, not sure how that happened but it is assuredly my fault. that is one thing ordering for pickup/delivery saved me from, although the "personal shopper" fees kinda made up for it...
Very few people not in masks either in the store or visible outside, so that's nice.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Compared with previous weeks, the number of people wearing masks at Trader Joe's today had dropped. That makes me sad. And angry.

Because books.
Everyone is still generally very compliant here, and most stores still won't let you in if you don't have a mask on. That said, we're apparently going green on June 26, which means indoor dining will be back, at 50% capacity. But it's a small bakery. There's no way to keep anyone too far apart.

I haven't been to Trader Joe's since February. Partly that I didn't want to wait in line to get in, some of the time that area was closed du to looting at the mall, but mostly I'm just not buying the kind of stuff I tend to get at TJ's - frozen meals and fancy cheeses are really what get me there and I've been in a bit of an austerity program what with one thing and another.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
NY is still pretty solidly pro-mask, at least in the city and lower Hudson Valley where I am.

Our Farmers market is open, but I can't find out what safety measures have been put in place. So, I'm afraid to go.

Our Farmer's Market is open but it's on Thursday evenings which hasn't worked out for me to be up for going.

Even at the beach take-out place I went to for lunch, they wouldn't let someone approach the window with no mask, but hardly anyone had one on on the beach or the street. But there was good distancing and good breezes??

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My county has now mandated that businesses mandate that their customers wear masks. This is apparently some ridiculous loophole in the governor's executive order saying that local governments can't make people wear masks. I hate our state government so much.
ION, I can tell that the steroids I got yesterday are really kicking in today, because I want to eat everything in site. We don't have anything sweet in the house, and that feels like a personal attack.
