Picked up curbside order from Wallyworld first thing this morning. First day of school so hoped to get in at the last minute before the next outbreak. The county is down to 86 active cases. That’s waaay below the beginning of the month at over 200 (that’s the adjusted number minus the prison cases they dumped in all at once).

Disinfected most everything but hubby couldn’t stand that I hadn’t gotten to the freezer stuff so he put it in without disinfecting anything and putting the plastic bags in the bedside trash... sigh. Two hours later and he’s still not showered or washed his clothes. Honestly, I might as well talk to the cats for all the good it does. Of course, he only made the trip to the store so he could stop at McD’s and stuff CV straight into his mouth. Yeah, mama’s not happy this morning.

Speaking of cats, finally was able to get the treats they like but couldn’t get the dewormer. Have one who can’t seem to get rid of worms. Doctored her every other week for 3 times (directions say it works the first time) and it’s not doing the trick. Guess I’ll have to UPS something else.

Glad to hear cases are going down in your county. Mine are still ramping up and hitting records with the schools opening. The upside (maybe) is they will peak and fall before the cold months set in...

We have a few of those conversations at my house, not fun.

Old Bay was out of stock today at Kroger. I did manage to score some tp, but it’s the tiny rolls that last about 2 days lol.

Woo hoo, got celery early for the holiday dressing. Chopped up and in the freezer. One would think there’d be celery in the stores around the holidays but not here, ugh. No corn syrup either for holiday baking but have some in the pantry from last year (not low carb friendly). There might be some cranberry sauce in the pantry but will have to order some next month or it’ll be too late.

Turkeys are usually in stock but you have to make sure they’re priced correctly. Can’t remember if we ate last year’s extra turkey or not but I’m not going worry about the bird as we can make do with chicken already in the packed freezer.

There is one can of sweet potatoes (ick) in the pantry along with some pumpkin. Some homemade rolls and the holidays are done. Have to think ahead here even though we’re not that far from the city but somehow we’re at the bottom of the food chain.

Just a bit worried the case numbers will rise from schools opening. Bought hubby some powdered creamer for his coffee this time in case he can’t get to the store for the real stuff. I can drink tea or water. Dang, prices still keep going up.

” county is down to 86 active cases. That’s waaay below the beginning of the month at over 200 “

My rural SW Va county cases have risen 10 fold in the last three weeks Earlier we had practically no cases). Growth seems to be levelling off last few days though. Hospitalizations doubled.

Strange about our different timing.
Expected rural outbreaks to be closer in the timing. Not a big difference I guess.
