Got no complaint
None of my jeans fit. Not one pair.
I ordered the next size up last week.
When they got here I raced to try them on.
I waffled between elation THEY FIT! and despair THEY FIT!
Guess I shouldn't have eaten that whole package of cinnamon rolls myself.
(They were so damn good)
And also that bakery box full of mini-brownie bites that I bought for the grandkids
and then never delivered to them. (They had chocolate chips in them!)
And 4 vanilla Oreo cookies every night after dinner dipped in a cold glass of milk.
And an occasional piece of Ghiardelli Chocolate Square with caramel inside.
I am aware that a certain percentage of the population is hungry.
I'm not hungry, I'm just bored. And lazy. And gettin' kinda chubby.
I haven't been inside a grocery store since March 20th. I grocery shop on-line now. Do you?
I really like it although the produce I get is just a smidgeon subpar sometimes.
I grew tomato plants from actual seeds and transplanted them outside in my garden.
It has rained 8 inches since then...........so, uh, yeah, no more tomato plants.
But my flower garden looks like a big green jungle. The blooms are huge and lush.
I haven't gotten a pedicure since last year...oh boo-hoo. Poor me, right?
I gave one to myself today. And now I know why I pay someone else do my pedicures.
What a disaster!
I haven't gotten my hair cut since February. But I will NOT attempt to do that by myself.
I did buy a tiny little hair piece on line called a Messy Bun. I adore it!
My page boy hair style has grown out so I put my hair into an unfortunate tiny pony tail every day.
After I attach my little Messy Bun, my hair looks like I have it up in a bun. I love this thing!
I am a privileged white woman who can order anything I want on line,
from groceries to jeans in a bigger size, to Pulse Ox Meters (just in case) and have it delivered to my home in under 7 days using Amazon Prime and Instacart.
I don't say that with any sort of pride though. I want you all to know that I am aware of how privileged my life is.
I'm not complaining. I ain't. But I am awful lonely.
How are you all handling the loneliness of this pandemic?
Thanks for reading,
Love, Lolly

THIS.MAKES.ME.SMILE!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you my friend. Hoping that connection is on the way.
My hair is longer than it has been in years and looks scraggly. I am an introvert so haven't found the isolation as hard as others I know. But I have struggled to find a daily rhythm. I'm flitting from one thing to another. Gah. I hope your loneliness is eased soon, dear one. So nice to read what you've been up to. xoxo
