• I am really trying not to only talk about COVID-19, but that’s what a lot of this is! Let’s get those bullets out of the way first:
    • I was really anxious about grocery shopping this week. I already have shopping anxiety about being around people and stores not having what we want, and pair that with people hoarding due to COVID-19, and, yeah, I was worried. But it went fine. We went to Aldi and they had almost everything we needed, then stopped at Fresh Thyme to get what they didn’t have. There were lots of people out, but they all acted politely. And there does NOT seem to be a shortage on vegan products, except plant-based milk!
    • I felt bad canceling my manicure/pedicure for today. Right after I did, I noticed I had an email from the salon saying they were closing for two weeks. That made me feel better about my decision to cancel, but I still feel bad about Lorena’s monetary well-being.
    • When the library announced they were closing they said to not return any due material, because there are no late fees. I am a rule follower so I was immediately like “BUT MY RECORD WILL BE MARRED NOW!” I logged in yesterday prepared to see all the one-week movie rentals I took out say “past due,” and I saw that they had extended the due dates on them. Woo hoo!
    • POLL! Do you write “canceled” or “cancelled”? Apparently canceled with one L is the American spelling, which I use, but I have seen lots of people using it with two!

  • Our transfer to the new branch at work was official this week, and we were told our new in office day will be Tuesday when we all start coming back in.
  • Media consumption update! We finished The Outsider (liked it) and McMillions (eh) on HBO. We watched Knives Out (good!), Midway (bad acting and script, but entertaining), and Uncut Gems (too chaotic – did not finish).
  • I don’t have any related photos to this post, but here’s a freaky carrot that was in the baby carrot bag yesterday, and Apollo practicing fire safety.
