My friends and I were testing out this little tip this morning.
I am not so sure about it. But maybe if you do it folk will think you are nuts and they will give you wide berth.
Yesterday we were promised “new freedom”. We can now go to the dentist without being put in solitary for 5 days. And… we can make “essential” visits to the grocery without being confined to quarters for 5 days. So. This morning I decided that it was “essential” that I visit Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s is only a mile away from The Asylum. I was already planning on a 2-mile “hike”. So, off I go.
This is where Pier 1 used to be. It leaves a big hole in this strip mall. But, Trader Joe’s was still standing. And 8-9 AM is old people’s hour. I did not linger or wander aimlessly around looking at stuff. I just grabbed as much as I could get back home and departed. It wasn’t your normal Saturday Trader Joe’s crush that I was used to. No free samples either. But, still The Traders.
Didn’t get very much. I avoided all of my favorite stuff. The cheeses, chocolate covered almonds, sweet and spiced pecans, dried mango, all manner of cookies. I am still on the diet. It was good to go to visit Trader Joe.
Gratitude
Grateful that I can make an “essential” visit to the grocery store or pharmacy.
I would normally start thinking about going the Hawai’i round about now. Things are too unsettled here and in Hawai’i to think about what might be going on on Oct 31. 2020 has been a great year for “living in the moment”.
