I went shopping
- Went to the pharmacy to pick up my generic Zoloft.
- This was terrifying.
- I suited up in a
- hoodie,
- surgical mask,
- goggles,
- gardening gloves over
- vinyl gloves,
- hoodie,
- long socks, and
- pants
- Rite Aid was not crowded. Maybe 10 people total. I got my meds and a few other things (pepto bismol for my constant upset stomach, snacks, seltzer water, Flintstones Chewable Vitamins with Iron)
- I gave up on the goggles because they kept fogging up
- I next went to the Trader Joes next door
- It was a bit more crowded. I think they were limiting the number of people in the place because there was a greeter.
- There was a “2 per customer” restriction on items they were visibly low up
- Starting tomorrow, it’ll be a “2 per” on all items
- I picked up more snacks to add variety to our soylent diet.
- When I got home,
- I picked up a package from the Amazon Hub
- Stripped my outwear directly into the laundry machine as I walked in
- Put non-refrigerated items into a closet to quarantine for 3 days (the virus can live on plastic and stainless steel surfaces for 3 days)
- Washed the frozen peas in soapy water before putting them in the freezer
