My
Rambling Thoughts
A
friend called last night with a request...TP. Three in the house are
down to one roll, and the kid is 2 years old. They have tried for a
week to find some. I agreed to go to Walmart during senior hours
beginning at 6a. I found a big pkg of TP and some Clorox wipes.
Thankfully for myself I found distilled water (for the CPAP) and rice.
Picked up a few other needs. In and out in about 20 minutes. Lots of
elders shopping and lots of dedicated workers still stocking shelves.
As I passed the workers I thanked them for being at work. Walgreens
has an app that you can pay for your scripts and use the drive up.
Amazingly it was open on my way home and I picked up my thyroid
medication without having to leave my vehicle. Then I got home just
after 7a.
By
nine I had received two long phone conversations from friends. Both
are doing fine, and with all this social distancing, that was nice.
Not
expecting many April Fool's jokes. Seems like we are living in the
all-time best prank.
