I went grocery shopping in person for the first time since early December -- it felt good to check out a number of items before putting them in my cart. Many empty shelves were present across all aisles -- so no commonality between missing items. My favourite brand of oatmeal had nothing on the shelves, while other brands were fully stocked. I encountered a friend and colleague while shopping and we had a short visit. We haven't seen each other in person since the pandemic began! We met virtually a few times and sent messages by various methods. It was so nice to just pick up where we had been way back then. <smile>
In the afternoon, I walked out to a local store for a treat -- a white chocolate-caramel bar. I will eat it a square at a time so it will last a while. The first taste is always the best and eating it all at once makes me feel uncomfortable and I lose the amazing flavour after a couple of squares. I then met a friend and we had some tea and a visit. We also walked out to Main Street and back. The sunshine and above freezing temperatures today made the sidewalks much easier to traverse than they were earlier in the week. I still spread ice melter today to help with erasure of the major ice in the front walk and driveway. I am so ready for this all to be over <sigh>.
The weather and visiting with friends gave me smiles. Walking on my own and with a friend felt wonderful in the warm sunshine. The song chosen for today is an upbeat tune with lyrics describing happy times. Keep safe. Enjoy!
