new normal.....

I left my place to go grocery shopping today at 11 am.

Took me a bit to prep, clothing without too many layers, ski scarf , minimal side pouch for cash and a cheque (to deposit), light washable coat, card holder with minimal cards, hand sanitizer spray, nitrile gloves, mask , hair in a bun, phone in ziplock (hey, it still works through the plastic!).

Arrived at the grocery store to see a separated line up out the door! Should I turn back?
Actually it was pretty good. This organic store was systematic in making sure people kept separated. It was the best grocery shopping event I went to since this all started. I wasn't freaked out and anxious about those around me and I could find everything I wanted.... except Kohlrabi (?!) which is my mom's new fav for salads.

Dropped these off at the door of my folks place.

Then set out to deposit moola. Apparently cash can be deposited via atm but not cheques?! Another separated line up. Yes.... I may move to just get the bank app, I do not like having too much personal information in my phone but these times may force me to do it.

Then to Home Depot for my furnace/hvac filter. And a hepa filter possibly for the face masks I have been sewing since some hospitals are asking for them... (crazy how unprotected front line is).

Then my own grocery shopping.

Then stop at concierge to pick up my package.

Then home by 4:00 pm.

Stripped off everything at the door and placed clothes in the wash.

Then washed all my groceries.

Then showered.

Then looking at the pile of plastic bags from the groceries in one corner on the floor.... what do I do with them? Washing all these Covid plastic bags really will take forever for them to dry, if at all. Or if in doubt throw it out? Or do I just quarantine these bags for 14 days and monitor their symptoms?

After all this washing and sanitizing I looked down at my manicure. Ugh. (not gel)

Already Peeling and cracking and chipping off.

I decided to make another manicure appointment at my usual place:

Me: So what time do you have available for a manicure?

Also me: Maybe tomorrow after 12? Today was just too exhausting and I have yet to wash all my floors.
