Quarantine update #9 - because I may be a bit crazy 😜

This week, I planned to redo the shelf paper and declutter and deep clean my kitchen.  I started it yesterday evening.  

Then I got frustrated with Walmart grocery pickup because so many items (and items I’m wanting) are not listed on their app.  

So I left this morning with my mask and gloves and sanitizer and went to a Neighborhood Walmart. - yes, Right in the middle of a strewn out kitchen! 

I could tell by the parking lot it wasn’t too busy.  I was able to go right in,  no line to stand in to enter, and did my shopping.  

I wasn’t looking to buy meat and it’s a good thing as the meat counter was almost empty.  So was canned soup.  

But I did find dry beans, rice, cereal, bread, toilet paper, flour, sugar, rubbing alcohol- all things that I haven’t bought in a month because I’ve done all my grocery shopping on Walmart pickup but those things couldn’t be bought there.  

On some items like flour and toilet paper, it asked customers to only buy 1.  

Many customers wore masks and gloves though they are not mandatory in Oklahoma.  

Every shopper I saw was just a single shopper,  no families hanging out together as they shopped.  Everyone was keeping their distance from each other too.  

And yes,  I took all shopping precautions as suggested by the medical people in the know.  

Below is my kitchen- torn apart 

And the dining table covered with kitchen stuff and today’s groceries.  


I don’t think I’ll get done today,  but hopefully it will be done tomorrow.  But who knows? 

Nobody is coming over so those piles can wait.  

Are y’all doing similar projects?

Quarantine update #8

Well, today was even less exciting than yesterday but I’m going to blog about it anyway.  

I did not accomplish much at all.  

Lowe’s delivered the pavers we ordered to put in our garden around the raised beds.  We were so glad the Lowe’s driver had a nifty fork lift and put the pallets in our backyard.  There is an empty field behind our house and he drove the forklift through it right into our back gate.  

Our son came over for a distanced visit and brought us some plants.  He bought the coleus at a school sale and he started the spider plants from baby ones on a big plant at his office.  I sent him home with some of those big cookies I made Sunday.  

Supper was simple -

Fried steak, Ore Ida fries cooked in an air fryer and California vegetables.  

And ketchup 

Our daughter and 3 grands came over for a short, distanced visit.  I sent them home with the rest of those cookies.  And masks, just in case they need them but they are staying home.  Our son in law teaches at a university and is teaching online.  The school has already announced all summer sessions will also be online.  

My big job today was starting to deep clean, declutter and rearrange my kitchen.  I didn’t take a before photo but I will show finished photos- whenever that is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Somedays lots gets done,  somedays it doesn’t.  

Hope you’re all fine

Now I’m going to have some hot tea and play a few rounds of Candy Crush Soda.
