I really wanted a particular ingredient for a baking project (plus a couple other things) so went to a grocery store I haven't been to for a while. It's just as close as the big Shoprite near me, but in the other direction. First I parked in the smaller lot and headed to the door and a woman told me that entrance is closed, so I had to go to the main entrance. I got what I needed, but it did feel so odd seeing everyone wearing a mask (required now in my state). I hate the mask because it steams up my face. I can't wear my glasses with it, so I wandered around with nearsightedness.
That store also has the plexiglass shields at the cashier aisles. I think all do now. I wonder if they will remain even after this pandemic has passed. I started to bag my groceries into my own canvas bags, then the cashier quickly said I had to bag directly in my cart (not put my bags on the cashier counter). I forgot, momentarily, when bagging my second bag then realized and apologized. A customer behind me heard my apology and practically yelled "What happened?" at me. Gotta admit that shocked me. I simply replied that it was nothing to be concerned about.
As if unloading groceries isn't annoying enough, we are wiping them down in the garage before bringing them in. I just hate all of this! I hope it eases significantly soon.
Easter is this Sunday. What a sad day that will feel like! I'll have a fancy torte for it. Not sure what I'll make for dinner...for just hubby and me. In the past, I invited my dad and brother for a feast.
