Noticed a number of bloggers have taken to posting more often since sheltering at home has become the norm for so many of us.
Found reading the day to day posts to be grounding and a source of comfort, inspiring me to want to contribute in the same spirit. Brings me back to how blogging once was and a reminder of how much I missed that.
Admittedly I haven't found the extra time at home to be too much of a burden. Little did I know the timing of my increased introversion and desire to settle at home would coincide with social distancing measures.
Found purpose with my Spanish lessons and the first of a number of 30 day fitness challenges i.e. 100 kettlebell swings a day, 100 skips a day etc. It's going well and I have had to learn to take rest days after experiencing some really painful culmulative muscle tension. I miss my massage therapist!
Am proud to report that we have yet to buy any toilet paper or extra wipes or flour or yeast. The latter because we don't bake from scratch. The former because a bale from Costco lasts a long time when it is just 2 people. We'll deal with it when the time is near, just like any other time.
Either D's timing was bad or the increased shopping tendancies have gotten worse, but after 2 aborted attempts to regular shop at Costco, we decided to pause the in person experience and place our first online delivery order.
Couldn't buy everything we were looking for but got the most important items -- Almonds, walnuts, oats, beet root crackers, peanuts, CoQ10. And will pay a slightly higher price to get other items like frozen avocado (shakes) at a supermarket instead.
It's going to take a while before it arrives, but I've noticed that regular supermarket pick up times are about 1.5 to 2 weeks out as well. Changes your appoach to shopping. We kinda like it and intend to continue to shop less frequently once we move out of this pandemic.
