The Easter Bunny and Toilet Paper
With everything getting cancelled (especially school, Ailey too) and my ill-fated transaction, this has been a stinging-painful week. I feel like I'm reeling a little bit. Most of my upset over everything isn't about me personally, it's about Daya and what she's losing and going through. As a parent this is just what happens. And I'm genuinely feeling for all the kids, especially the seniors.
Daya has a close friend also from LaGuardia dance that she has been pretty stuck to every day, and I'm very glad about it. This would be so much worse if she didn't have friends to be with.

In shopping news, I did find a bag of rice AND toilet paper at the store.
I also got some of my favorite tea.
Losing a good cup of tea is more than I can really deal with right now.
Thank goodness too, I was starting to get nervous about the toilet paper.
It has been a month since I bought any.
The local neighborhood grocery store seems to get stuff in more consistently than the larger stores, although it is still hit-or-miss.
While I did not panic-buy, I had us stocked up ok for a little while- but my tower was getting lower than I like, even under normal circumstances.
I can't believe I'm writing about toilet paper on my blog.
This is what we have come to, I guess.

I did order another PS4 for Daya thru Ebay (again) so there's buyer protection there and I expect this time it will work out.
It's hard to forgive myself for being so dumb, I'll get there in time.

Just seeing those chocolate Cadbury eggs made my mouth water. ;) I am glad you found some of your tea. What kind do you like? I am curious about that.
ReplyDeleteI agree that when your children are disappointed and under stress it affects us too. Darn!, it is especially bad when you can't do anything to alleviate the situation. Bah humbug.
Unusual times makes us do unusual things like write about toilet paper on your blog. ha..
I dragged out my sewing machine and made some masks. I hate to sew. My sewing usually is hemming pants or sewing on buttons. It did make me feel a little bit better making the masks. I hope they help people.
Stop beating yourself up for making that risky purchase. Just chalk it up to a lesson learned. I hope you have better luck this time.
Hope seems a theme here in my thinking. Cheers...have a good week.
