We went out last weekend and stocked us best we could on groceries and essentials. I think we'll be good for a while longer, thankfully. I have no desire to brave the stores again for a while. But not knowing how long this will last is so unnerving.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-15996439982102292332020-03-26T14:08:12.095-04:002020-03-26T14:08:12.095-04:00I'm WFH completely now too and so is the profe...I'm WFH completely now too and so is the professor! He was deemed a critical worker at one point but when our government pretty much announced complete lock down on Monday he was told to stay home like the rest of us, for what looks like 3 weeks, then it'll be reassessed. It's insane and very scary but I'm so glad he's home with us too. <br /><br />I haven't dared leave the house for food shopping yet and I'm not sure I will... We have enough supplies until our booked food order slot (6th April!) so if I can avoid it, I will. The queues are nuts and if someone touches me I'd lose it. I admire your restraint with the touchy lady! You're a better person than me, lol. <br /> Niccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122972546470154598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-82028371222443269722020-03-26T09:43:10.937-04:002020-03-26T09:43:10.937-04:00I think it's hard for some to make changes and...I think it's hard for some to make changes and grasp that things are different for now. But what surprises me is that it's often older people/seniors who seem to want to carry on as usual. The 20-somethings I expect, but the older ones? I'm so sorry you're separated from Kiersten now.

I have been pushing leftovers on everyone not wanting to waste anything. So glad your store was fully stocked!! My mom drove around to 5 different stores Saturday trying to find everything we both needed and still only got some of the list. And I can imagine how you felt when someone touched you. I was ready to lose it watching someone touch a thousand can goods they weren't putting in their cart. My husband is an essential worker but his hours have been cut from 12hr days to 8hr days, so it's felt like we're getting a lot more time together. I'm like you, though, in that it makes me happy.Ali @ Ali's Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487595062262883183noreply@blogger.com
