GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I am not exaggerating the font size she used.
Then I hear from my mother. "You should really be walking and not staying in all the time. You can get blood clots if you just sit around."
Today is a cloudless, gorgeous spring day. I give my self a purpose in going out.
I have been looking unsuccessfully for the past two weeks for baking powder, both on line and in store. Flour too is hard to find. Lots of people baking these days.
I armor up and go outside. I have several types of masks varying in protectiveness. When I plan on going inside a store, I wear the strongest one. It's also the least comfortable and most annoying.
But still, I wear it. Though it looks like more and more people are not.
Don't they know how selfish they are being? Wearing a mask protects others from you. I feel like shouting, "PEOPLE. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO LET UP ON THE RESTRICTIONS WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO FOLLOW."
My first stop (and as it turns out my last) is Gristedes. Fortunately, inside everyone is in compliance.
And there, on the shelf, I find it. The very last one.
At $4.99 I am sure it's overpriced. But it's a whole lot less than what I could find it for on Amazon:
Rather than continue my walk on this beautiful day, I come home. Mission somewhat accomplished.
