What have you bought recently?

As I've said before I still am scared of going to stores or we'd be up to our gills in stuff. I enjoy buying stuff for the home.

I went out yesterday. First I went to the post office to mail a package. Then I went to fill up the car with gasoline. Then went to the grocery store.

While out I stopped at Dollar Tree. The cashier was coughing up a storm and I froze. I could see her coughing up droplets. I came home and washed my face and hands.

Why do people who are sick go to work?

She wasn't wearing a mask. She didn't even try to cover her mouth.

I still wear a mask and wash when I get home just to be safe. Still have not caught it but when I do hope it will be mild. I am vaccinated up!

@PamfromTx - I'm still cautious when venturing out anywhere. I'm in and out as quickly as possible and keep my distance from people when I can. From what I've seen, it's business as usual for most people. They're not wearing masks and are crowded together. Where you used to get strange looks when not wearing a mask, now you get the same looks if you're wearing one.

As far as the cashier coughing up a storm ... some people go to work when they're sick. They don't get paid if they take a sick day and they need the money, or management gives them a hard time about calling out sick because they're short handed. I don't know. I think if you have a sick employee, you'd want them to stay home so they don't infect the rest of the staff and the customers. You'd think that she'd at least cover her mouth when coughing. It's only polite to do so. Some people are oblivious, or thoughtless, or just don't care. If they're sick, you might as well be sick, too. :rolleyes:

I'm vaccinated fully as well.. but I don't wear a mask when I'm out at the shops.. I just keep my distance from people. If I knew there was going to a heavy crowd anywhere I'd wear my mask then.. but otherwise I don't...

You're up so late, Hols. Too hot to sleep?

yes it is a little bit hot, I've got the Fan on full blast... but for some reason, I'm just not tired.. This happens to me sometimes when I've had a full day.. my body reacts the opposite of how it should. Instead of being tired earlier in the evening, my body acts like I've eaten a big bag of Blue smarties....

I've just been sitting here updating to Mac Monterey 12.5...
 
Ah. Well if you can't sleep, you can't sleep. Fretting about it won't help so you might as well do something. You'll get sleepy sooner or later, hopefully sooner. 🥱 🤗

Do you buy your glasses thru Zinni?
My wife just bought her new prescription sunglasses thru them.

I have to buy directly through my optometrist. I have very limited vision. These are my regular prescription glasses that I could have ordered with the auto darkening feature. Because I got them directly through their office, they just sent them away and replaced them for normal cost for of this feature. Many years ago I had this feature and hated them. Every time I had walked in a building they stayed dark for a minute or more. The new ones change very quickly.
 
Bought a pinky-peach shag area rug for underneath my leather couch and ottoman/ coffee table...just beautiful, happy I found it.

Bought a glass top curved desk and my pub table a few weeks ago.

Doing a boho, eclectic, tropical kind of vibe in my new place, almost done furnishing it from scratch.

Been driving to different towns to get to know the area since moving and living in a new state. Lonely, but pushing back on those feelings.....real hard. My last rodeo, so....do or die.😉

As far as safety goes……I still wear a mask, still social distance…..so many now have thrown all the safety away…..good for them, not me yet. Have had 2 vaccinations, 2 boosters.
