Oh wait. Friends at one of the regional theaters have a live streaming set of one-acts I need to watch, so supporting them by being there will be at least part of my evening.

Later today I’ll also check out the streaming BROADWAY CARES benefit.

I’ve started Bondarchuk’s War and Peace. It’s only seven hours, not nine. But it’s probably 10 with the extras.

I woke up at 5:30 am

vixmom · « **Reply #34 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:38:59 AM »

Since my alarm went off (by design)

vixmom · « **Reply #35 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:39:09 AM »

And went to the supermarket.

vixmom · « **Reply #36 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:39:56 AM »

Mom had given me a list of things that she needed/wanted

vixmom · « **Reply #37 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:40:14 AM »

And I needed to replenish milk, bread and eggs

vixmom · « **Reply #38 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:40:46 AM »

So I got there for old people shopping hours at 6 am

vixmom · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:41:05 AM »

Not too many people there

vixmom · « **Reply #40 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:41:54 AM »

I managed to get Lysol cleaning liquid for Mom

vixmom · « **Reply #41 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:43:08 AM »

They had a limited supply if tp and paper towels but no napkins. But since I have an adequate supply to last at least a month I left it there for someone else

vixmom · « **Reply #42 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:43:37 AM »

Mom and I both needed eggs, she only wanted 6 or 8

vixmom · « **Reply #43 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:44:30 AM »

They had a big sign that you could only buy one carton of eggs ...so I bought a carton of 18 and split it between us

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:46:27 AM »

They also had a few bags of sugar for the first time in weeks so I bought a 5 lb bag for Mom

vixmom · « **Reply #45 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:47:05 AM »

There was absolutely no chopped meat and no breakfast sausages to be found

vixmom · « **Reply #46 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:50:27 AM »

I like this supermarket because I get a scanner at the door and scan and pack my groceries as I shop, then at the self check register ( they have 10 of these besides another 10 staffed registers) you just hit “check out” on your scanner and a bar code pops up, you scan your barcode at the register , you pay by card and the receipt pops up and you are in your way!

vixmom · « **Reply #47 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:50:51 AM »

No need for human contact.

vixmom · « **Reply #48 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:53:12 AM »

It’s also a lot faster and since your scanner shows you exactly how much the item is and keeps a running total there is no sticker shock at the register. If you decide something’s too expensive or if you go over budget, you can delete the offending item tight there in the aisle and put it back on the shelf

I like that scanner idea DR VIXMOM - I don't think we have it anywhere I shop.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:53:31 AM »

DR JANE why did you get up so early?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #51 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:53:41 AM »

Nice cool, sunny day today.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #52 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:54:07 AM »

I made some cheeseburgers for today and tomorrow.....if they last that long.

vixmom · « **Reply #53 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:54:18 AM »

By time I was done there it was 7:50 and the BJs next door has senior shopping at 8

vixmom · « **Reply #54 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:55:00 AM »

I pulled up and there was a huge line of people standing out in the drizzle, but they looked younger than 60 to me

vixmom · « **Reply #55 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:55:34 AM »

So I sat in my car and listened to NPR until 8 then strolled up to the door

vixmom · « **Reply #56 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:56:05 AM »

This is the first time I was proofed at the door to check my age

vixmom · « **Reply #57 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:57:57 AM »

I thanked the young man for thinking I might be too young to enter (it’s been about t 35 years since anyone’s proofed me)

Jennifer · « **Reply #58 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:58:44 AM »

Major vibes for DR TCB and Nicky!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

vixmom · « **Reply #59 on:** April 18, 2020, 09:59:01 AM »

They had a full stock of TP and paper towels but again I have suffcient.
