The roots of the tree extend under the narrow walkway next to the house. At one end, the widest part of the walkway, the cement has lifted. This makes the sidewalk drain all the water down to the backdoor which, since it’s level with the sidewalk, will cause flooding into the house.
Gee, lovely. So we bought a thing to slip on the bottom of the door to help prevent flooding, and we will have to remove all this sidewalk and redo it before winter. Hoped to get it done before spring but not happening.
Shopping again today, got enough distilled water now for a month. This is a big relief. Son asked if we could find hand wipes-nope. No TP. Got some canned potatoes, beets, peas, and chili. Oh, and corn. No green beans. But Winco had ramen which was exciting to some shoppers.
It is interesting to see some which stores are out of what stuff, while other stores have plenty. Saw some bread shortages at some stores but plenty at others. We don’t eat much bread but have four loafs in the freezer for J as he eats a loaf a week. Need to go check on my other son today.
A CNN projection today said that if was possible for a million people in the US to die of the virus in thirty days. Ugh. This reporting fuels the panic. The neighbor of my son’s boss tested positive for the virus. Since my son was in contact with his boss, he is at risk. But neither my son nor his boss can get tested.
Meanwhile we go about our lives as usual. Wipe our hands after shopping, wash throughly when we get home, but the reality is, like the flu, if you are going to get it-you will. I had the flu shot, yet I had the flu. It is what it is. Daughter says no bananas in her area. I hate bananas. Lol.
Now, hopefully I can get more TP at some point. Lol.
