I know DR CHAS SMITH - what they have and don't have is frustrating.

DR George I was referring to a "attempted delivery notice" left on the door of your library. Then you could go to that post office & pick up the package before it was returned to sender.

DR TCB are you on a list to call if the vet has a cancellation before next Thursday?

My brother who is the manager of the Greencastle Aldi says that old folks shopping time is the WORST time to go - no social distancing and LOTS of people.

He says that other times of the day there are only two or three folks in the store......

And what times of the days are those?

DR JRand, we saw some news footage from a Kroger store that made me suspect as much. We are now thoroughly sold on pre-ordering for curbside pick-up and I've been coaching, via text, my friend Rebecca on how to do that. It would be so much easier to show her in person...

My problem is I do not want any substitutes. Keith likes to check expiration dates. For some reason many of the foods we buy are expired or have too short of an expiration date. As for vegetables, we want to pick our own.

For now we will continue to go inside the store and do our best to avoid people. We are going less often. I purchased cabbage I didn't need yesterday as it lasts a long time.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Guess I'll get dressed and do the banking thing.

DR JANE the slack times seem to be in the late morning or mid-afternoon.........

Did Miss Barbara Steele and Miss Hazel Court seem to embrace their statuses as Horror Icons?

Back from the banking. The first bank I went to in Studio City was Chase, to cash my pension check because BofA hasn't been cashing them for the last three months - they want to deposit and hold and I won't do it. But Chase branch is closed, so on to the second bank, which went quickly, thank goodness, and then on to BofA, where I put in cash and tried to cash the pension check, which they couldn't. I told them Chase was closed and I'd have to go to Sherman Oaks then to that branch of BofA and I was sure BofA wouldn't want me out and about that long, and she cashed it and I was done. The whole thing, with walking, took about fifteen minutes.

Every time I've decided to make something here this week I've ended up ordering in, but every time I order in it's $25 so I think I'll hang tough today.

Interesting thing: To use Postmates, which I've only done once, and get a small (and I mean small) pepperoni pizza (9.99 in the restaurant), and the antipasto salad (10 in the restaurant), with taxes, delivery, and "fees" - forty bucks. To get a filet mignon, creamed spinach, and a half order of garlic cheese bread from the Smoke House via Door Dash - forty bucks. I know which one I'd go for first.

Bad pun of the day:
I'm a big fan of whiteboards. I find them quite remarkable

Listening to the soundtrack of the horrible film version of 3Penny Opera. Terrible lyrics from Menachem Golan, who directed. And the orchestrator seems to have thrown accordion at every song. (What is the squeezebox version of “More cowbell!”) But Julia Migenes, Roger Daltry, Raul Julia and even Richard Harris give it their all.

Yes, substitutes are an issue. The system we're using at Kroger gives you the option to not allow any substitutes. Or, if you do allow them, you're given the opportunity to accept or reject the proposed sub. It's not perfect, but for now it's the best option for us.

I've developed a deeper understanding, though, of how powerless my mother felt when she started relying on others (mostly me) to shop for her.
