Groceries!

April 5th, 2020 at 01:51 pm

My local DIL did some grocery shopping for me yesterday. I paid her $60 (electronically) which was a little above the cost of the groceries. She was able to get toilet paper! I now have 12 rolls. Also a variety of other things including canned cat food. I feel I am set for a while.

She also sent with the groceries a face mask she had made and some art work from the boys. My son carried the bags over and set them down outside my door. Through the door, we said "I love you!" Strange times.

I finished the jigsaw puzzle and started another. This one, though made by the same company, was lower quality. I had to tear paper off the back of many pieces to get them to separate. Very annoying. But I got all the edges done and today I'm ready to fill it in.

I should be finishing my ebook today. I still have 2 1/2 books from the tiny library (the half book meaning I've read half of it), and there is a book coming from Amazon, due to arrive the 21st. If I run out in between, there are my college textbooks! I was an English major, so lots of reading material. I could have sworn I had a copy of "War and Peace" that I was going to read someday, but I can't find it. It must have gone in the garage sale.

If I get desperate for reading material, I believe I can order books from Barnes & Noble and pick them up curbside. But I'm really trying to stay in as much as humanly possible, and reading isn't really an emergency.

Meals today -- the rest of yesterday's soup, and a homemade hot pocket from the freezer. For breakfast I had a bacon biscuit from the freezer. I don't believe I'll do any cooking today, but I do have a load of laundry to do.

    Have you been borrowing ebooks from your library? Lots of libraries are reallocating money to buy more ebooks since they aren't open. I know that I often prefer physical books, but ebooks from the library are (corona virus) free!

    Did you hear about the National Emergency Library? I don't know any details but saw this recently:
    Text is https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary and Link is

    Our library has been freeing up ebook copies too. Thankfully, in conjunction with that they now give us an option to pass on the book for 2 weeks or 4 weeks or whatever. All the books I had on hold for many months were suddenly ready. So I set a couple to be available in '2 weeks' or '4 weeks' because I didn't have time to read one book right now, let alone 5.

    Do you have a Bible? Even if you aren't religious, there is a ton of reading material in there, lots of stories, and many people have one kicking around. That's how many kids learned to read in the olden days as it was often the only book their parents owned.

    I borrowed my ebook through the Libby app. I just "returned" it yesterday, and since I still have a few physical books to read, I'll wait before I get another. I took a look at the National Emergency Library. It looks interesting, but you have to know what you're looking for. Not great for browsing! The Bible -- I actually started reading it last year, intending to read it all, but bogged down in Exodus, so I didn't get too far.

    Don’t feel bad, I’ve been on a one year Bible reading plan for about 5 years now. I’m stuck in the OT as well, but have made it to Ezekiel.
