I got there a little before noon b/c I had other chores and the grocery store was the last stop....

I legit ended up going in without a cart or a basket and juggled a 12-pack of sparkling water, a loaf of bread, and some frozen food lol

just the essentials but enough that an old lady tried to stop and help me and I was just like..... there is no helping me unless you can magically manifest a cart

like what the fuck

I more or less got everything I needed but. at this rate I really might try the mexican market next time, this shit was ridiculous

in better news: got a step stool! installed NoNo brackets on the blinds in my living room so I can hang a curtain over them! I'm thrilled that for once installing something was easy

the curtain was supposed to be delivered today but it was in Nebraska an hour ago so I don't think that's happening... typical FedEx fail

I also picked up my packages at the post office... I bought a little desktop temperature monitor just to confirm what I suspected: the humidity in here iiiis definitely too dry

my sinuses have been bleeding a little but I wasn't sure if it was the air or just allergies after being in a new place

so figuring out what sort of humidifier I'll need will be next on the list... I was already doing some minor research and it seems like just about any kind I get will require periodic cleaning to prevent mold, so that'll be fun 😩

oops I also bought myself something stupid

omg sweater

this is why my mom swore by her folding cart though

I do have a big reusable shopping bag in my car, I just didn't think to grab it ..... I suspect this grocery store doesn't keep extra carts out b/c it's near the bad part of town

but it just impacts them negatively, I would've bought a lot more if I had a cart to use lol

That sweater's so cute!!

ty it's from Harney and Sons which is where I buy most of my good-quality tea, a lot of their other clothes are stupid tea puns but this one's cuter

Tea clearly know what tea're on about 😛

plz
