Essential workers often don't seem to get the appreciation they deserve Things wouldn't function without people like you.
Here, weekends feel like house arrest since we can only go out for 2 hours (once, not both days). I really needed to buy new shorts, but I can't buy them in town on the weekend since clothes is classified as non-essential. I don't have time during the week, since I am busy with work. I was trying to figure out the logistics to go to a city to the north that has a mall that is allowed to open during the weekend since they are in phase three, so I could try them on. In the end, we weren't sure if we could get there an back in time between driving, parking and potential lines to get into stores due to capacity restrictions.
In the end I had no choice but to order online and hope they fit. I found a size chart from the manufacturer but somehow it said I'd need an XL when I am usually S or M. I went with two pairs of size M, and fortunately they fit. It's just annoying that you can't do something similar like try on clothes before you buy them.
