jennlkErrands yesterday. More crowded than usual for a Thursday, and most places are running with fewer cashiers than usual, but no really long lines. Still gaps, mostly the same as last week's, and it's apparent that the local grocer has different vendor supply chains than Meijer, as there are things there that aren't at Meijer and vice versa, even though there's shelf labels/space for them. I am hoping to stay away from Meijer next week altogether, but I may not be able to.
There's enough snow on the ground that the birdies are eating birdseed rather than poking in the fields, so the birdfeeders are half empty in the morning. I did get a nice shiny galvanized bucket at the local feed store -- it looks a little odd in the kitchen sink in the morning, but it's easier to use than the pitcher I'd been using, and holds more water.
J is outside clearing the inch+ of fluffy snow off the solar panels - heavy snow will slide off, but the fluffy stuff just sits there.
I called the optometrist's office yesterday to check on my new glasses, and turns out that they're closed. "we hope to open on Dec 16." Well, then. Can you say 'positive test for covid'? No point in calling them again - they'll call me when they get through the shipments after they open again.
Christmas will be quiet here - I have no idea on gifts for people. DB just got a new winter jacket (his old one was from his junior year of HS, and his shoulders have gotten wider since then); J just got a hand-me-up pair of boots (DB's from sophomore year, when he wore a size 10, which still hadn't made it to the donation center). I usually get J sweaters for work, but he's mostly been wearing old hoodies. I did find a little thing for Mum, but it's not been shipped yet, so she probably won't get it until February.
