Last week for the first time in 7 weeks, I masked up and went to Walgreens. Randy has made all the Publix runs keeping my asthma afflicted lungs safe while supplying me enough Pinot to weather this nuttiness! I was out of extra strength pit juice and deodorant is very essential in 90 degree temps- even if you are 6 feet away from me. You would not believe (as I didn't!) my crazy reaction to be able to 'shop!'
Total sensory overload with a side of mania. ALL the 'overs' flooded my system and woke up the dormant shopper in me. I MUST PURCHASE THINGS!!! Easter candy still left and at 70% off? I'm in and I don't even like those bird egg things. Wow, shark hand puppets. I tried it on and did the Jaw's theme for a bit, causing a few knit eyebrows over their masks. 'Get out of my aisle you big old fun sponge'! Hey, Walgreen clothes are kinda cute! I should have purchased that floral muu muu. With a belt, a hem job and a deeper cut neckline, it could have been a look. If there would have been a matching turban, I would have been all in for a little Mrs. Roper quarantine style! Mercy me, Cheetos now makes popcorn? Another perfect accessory for my muu muu-and the loud print will even hide my cheese dust!
I finally made my way to the checkout counter where a very blase' cashier rang up my purchases. She thanked me and told me to stay safe. Safe from myself? I was a total menace as I reveled in the feeling of normalcy-well, sort of normal. But these are not normal times and desperate measures were called for!
Later at home while 'whining' and eating crab claws, I once again reflected on how blessed I am to be healthy. I hope you all are finding something to giggle about-it helps to ease the stress. See you next week in Michigan. Hopefully NOT 6 feet apart! XOXO
P.S. Thank you Luis for the crab claw hook up. They were ahhhhhhmazing! xo
P.P.S.S. I'm going back to Walgreens for that muu muu........
