Ack, will this virus thing ever end? It doesn’t seem so, here in the good old U.S.A. Here is more stuff that happens when one is stuck at home for months on end.
1. Trips to Costco.
In the good old days, our trips to Costco were quite easy and simple. A few minutes before we left, we would peruse our pantry to see what we needed and add it to the list. We would take said list and proceed to Costco. Mr. Ken used to enjoy these trips since there were a lot of free food samples at Costco.
Now, we have to mentally gear ourselves up and go through the following checklist:
* Masks – check.
* Chlorox wipes – check.
* Latest COVID case count – check.
Since we are more distracted these days, unexpected things happen, like having a year’s supply of toilet paper. No, we really weren’t hoarding, it’s just we are so distracted that everytime we go to Costco, we think, “Oh, we’d better get toilet paper since I don’t think we bought it last time.” Um, well, we did buy it last time. 🙂
2. Online shopping – Part 2.
As you all probably know, I love to exercise and I love everything about exercise, including the fun accessories. I am a part of the Amazon Vine program. This is not to be confused with Amazon Prime. As a member of Amazon Vine, I get access to lots of free stuff to review. And oh happy day when my list has a lot of exercise related stuff on it. So with this latest take I got a resistance band and some cool, pink weight lifting gloves and a pretty new band for my Fitbit.
I also love experimenting with different face creams. And this is all for free!

So, that’s where the global supply of toilet paper has gone 😉

I’ve done the same thing with the toilet paper. Twice now, I’ve picked up an extra mega-ginormous pack when I’ve spotted it. I forgot we’d already bought a giant pack pre-pandemic, and being the only person in the house, it’s going to last forever.

Hi Crystal,
I don’t think you and I are the only ones that have done this! 🙂

We too miss the free food sampling at Costco. We get most our major grocery items delivered from both them and Smart and Final. Fortunately, being retired, we also have plenty of hobby/home projects to fill our days. Be safe and have a wonderful day, Nancy.

Hi Art,
It is funny you should mention hobby and home projects. My husband, who is very handy, has completed and started many, many home projects since we’ve all been stuck at home.
I hope you and your family are well. Take care.
Nancy
