My patience and tolerance are on their last legs. I truly do wish, sometimes, that I could have a period of time to be the queen of my own universe. Since this pandemic started, and especially since moving, I feel too much like a dependent or almost a guest in my own "home". Piddly stuff adds to it all. For example, I feel like my husband is constantly in my way. I go to the vestibule to straighten up my shoes, and predictably he shows up and gets in my way so I can't do what I wanted. I have to literally leave, temporarily, to wait for him to get the heck out. Something similar happens in the kitchen. In my way, especially always blocking the trash. Or I'll be cooking and want to throw something in the trash to find he removed the trash bag and didn't replace it. Yea, maybe he meant well, but it's still a pain to me. Or I'll load the dishwasher (for the umpteenth time) and he'll arrive and put dirty junk in the sink. If I was a violent person, I'd like to literally push him out and lock the door for a while.

There might be a country-wide lock down again soon, where we're living. And possibly in other European countries. I mean, people just have to try harder to nip this by the bud. "Denying it away" or being cavalier is not going to work. Everyone must take precautions. Must! No more baloney about this! Please, please, please, please! Pretty please with a cherry on top. A strong resurgence could occur in the US, for sure.

A very nice woman we know here in CZ keeps bringing us potatoes that her mother grows. That's kind, but I confess it's overwhelming me. I like potatoes, but good grief! We put them all in our cold garage. They are not washed, so that will also help keep them long, but I told Hubby to tactfully find a way to tell her we have plenty. It's only Hubby and me eating them, for the most part. Hubby sort of refused to say anything. During our trip last weekend, I noticed what looked like a giant hill of rocks. It took a moment to realize they were potatoes in a field, dug up. Insane! It looked like this: potatoes-huge-pile-1200 - Spud Smart
