#WednesdayWisdom: Better Late

So I ran around doing errands today, and it was less fun than I expected. It’s stressful to try to maintain distance, especially when other people aren’t considerate. People who don’t take turns. One guy reached right next to me in the meat case, and I had to tell him he was too close. He…

One guy reached right next to me in the meat case, and I had to tell him he was too close. He looked surprised. He didn’t apologize.

It’s a strange world where our well-being can depend upon people who really don’t care. Whose thought at making someone ill would be a mere shrug. Who think the rules somehow do not apply to them.

Who’d have thought the apocalypse would be so fun?

And so while I thought it would be good to be out for a while, it turns out I just couldn’t wait to get home, where I’ve been for weeks now. And yet, with the internet, it doesn’t feel so limited.

Anyway, I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself. Have a fantastic Wednesday, however much Wednesday you have left.

Buy me a cup of coffee!

I made a dash to the shops and accidentally bumped into someone (I think she bumped into me). She was very apologetic but even so I couldn’t wait to get home, strip and shower. From now on its all home delivery and I wash all the fruit and veg in warm soapy water. My husband has just had an operation so we are being very careful. Actually I love being home. My exercise group is now online with Zoom three days a week, my Book Club is using Messages on FB and my daughter is sending lots of videos of the grandchildren home schooling. They were washing the windows this morning. Plus hubby needs a lot of TLC and I’m doing the A to Z which is time consuming by the time I read what others have written and reply. How different this isolation would be without the internet!

  Yes, the internet really makes it much more bearable. How fun about your exercise group!
  
  I know exactly how you feel with that woman. What a strange time.
  
  I’m glad you’re keeping safe and busy! I decided against a to z this year, but I’ll have to see what you’re up to, it’s always interesting!
