Me, too. Went out both of the last two days. My body just cannot do that. Needed to go out today for a different type of errand and just cannot. Too physically wracked with pain and exhaustion. However, I've collected most of what came to mind. Have to order just a few more things on Amazon - I want to patronize locally-owned stores and forget Walmart, etc, and do little online, but right now isn't the time to switch.

Two things I have not yet been able to get and need: an old-fashioned orange juice squeezer - you know the type I mean - and a couple more boxes freedom seeds. Found one store locally that has a good brand of my odd size always in stock, so I picked up a box every month or two. Very unexpectedly in this quiet little town, in a store not at all a shop of that type, in the smallest section of this store, suddenly there is a constant run on freedom seeds. I didn't ask about the shiny things, long or short, but didn't see as many on display as usual. She said some weeks they receive no freedom seeds at all, and other weeks only a few, or only a few sizes, etc. I am surprised as I expected to be able to go on purchasing there. Thus I have made an unfortunate calculation and will have to call every Thursday to see if the truck is carrying what I need. Oh - and now they have a sign up limiting purchase to only two of any one caliber.

Yesterday that store was my last stop of the day, as I could not continue, and of all things, once inside I realized I'd forgotten my mask!! With so many risk factors I am and must be very careful, and there I was as though I hadn't a care in the world! I could not force myself to go back out to my vehicle to retrieve it, so I had to just wing it and pray.

Please continue to take all precautions, Cyberpunk, as we are now entering such a dangerous period. Hope you are about done with the topping off and ready to hold still. I'm going to look on eBay for the orange juice squeezer, and not go back looking for the freedom seeds unless having telephone confirmation first. We really have to be extremely cautious now - far more than earlier in this covid disaster. Hope MC understands and will exercise extreme caution himself.
