With
the drop in overnight temperatures outside it was enough to make us
stay under the covers until this morning. After a simple Banana
for breakfast we sat at the Computers just long enough to
finish our Coffee/Tea and to make a List.
Even
though I had wanted to go back to the early Seniors Shopping
at the grocery store yesterday Kathy decided it wasn’t necessary
until this morning. My idea was that stores especially the grocery
stores always try to have their shelves stocked for the weekends and
we were still short a few supplies they didn’t have on Wednesday.
By
10:00 we were on the way to Guardian Storage
and our Climate Controlled Storage Unit. Some of the things on
our List were Shampoo, Soap and a few other
things. Since we were well stocked in the Trailer and the
shelves in the stores were nearly bare we thought we’d try to use
up some of our stock.
That
crossed quite a few things off the List but there were
somethings we really needed. We had to take a chance and go to Zehr’s
grocery store. Walking in the door they had Hand
Sanitizing Stations set up along with people disinfecting the
Shopping Carts. The paper product aisle was still bare but
everywhere else we walked in the store there were Signs
hanging from the shelves limiting only Two Items per purchase
as a way to stop the Panic Buying. When we approached the
checkout there was a double line across the front of the store and
someone was reminding people to give one another space. One
line was for Ten Items or less and the Second
was for larger purchases. No Cash was being
excepted and when you went near the cashier if the previous customer
was not finished you had to wait until they were gone before putting
your items on the belt. All the employees were wearing Disposable
Gloves.
Back
at the Apartment once everything
was put away we popped a Medium Store Bought Thin Crust Pizza in the
oven for lunch. Fifteen Minutes later it was done just the way
we like it nice and crispy but not burnt.
We
finished our reading on the Computers finding more of or RV
Friends having gotten back to Canada safely before we tackled a few
other chores. When Kathy decided to check the News Channel I
pulled out my Exercise Bench and Dumbbells and spent a
Half Hour working out some of the Kinks that were
setting in.
For
supper we had Vegetable Soup, Cheese and Crackers along
with a piece of Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for dessert.
After
watching our 6
o’clock Local News
we watched a couple of Hallmark
Movies.
All and all it was a wonderful day. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!

Limiting what people can buy would sure help. None of that happening around here though.
ReplyDeleteThe only limits here are on toilet paper and hand sanitizer. I was amazed at how cheerful the cashier was because the lines to check out were nuts.
ReplyDeleteWe are all getting used to a new norm and learn to adjust. The limit on items one can purchase at one time makes sense but might force us to visit the stores more frequently then we would like to.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that they are finally placing limits on things that are on high demand in your area. Looks like your store is doing all it can to keep its customers safe.
ReplyDeleteWhen the public finally realized it was not "a hoax" I could not believe how people were loading up cart fulls of water and paper products...it was crazy but I blame the stores for not limiting the quantities...I believe the clip I saw was from a Costco in California.
Sounds like a nice relaxing day.
