For years I managed to awaken between 5 and 5:30 in the morning so that I could get myself to work by 7:30 or 8:00. For me, that was about 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night which seemed to be all I needed until the year before I retired. That year, I got a really bad case of the shingles. The stress of working under an incompetent, lying coward was too much for me. After that I absolutely needed 8 or 9 hours of sleep a night.
After retirement, it took awhile to start sleeping later than 5 in the morning. Now I have gone back to my normal. I am more of a night owl and go to bed between 11 and 12 and am up around 8 or 9 in the morning.
So, what has happened and why am I up this morning at the ungodly hour of 5:00 again? Senior hours in the grocery store are between 6 and 8 and we are getting dangerously low on paper towels and disinfectant wipes. I have been told that the stores have reduced hours to clean and restock, so the chances of there being these objects might be greater as they open their doors.
Please! This had better be worth it. I will got to at least two stores so I don't have to do this again for awhile.
The weather was better than 70 here. We hit 81 yesterday. Downright Hot! Should be the same today, but back in the 60's tomorrow. My two young lady gardeners were weeding on Saturday in their woolen caps and winter coats. Yesterday, they were in shorts. Ah, Spring!
Nice pictures Sadie, KJ and Nancy!
I look forward to hearing if you were successful in your quest.
ReplyDeleteBad trip. They don't seem to be restocking before opening so had to go to three stores to get paper towels and wipes. Won't do that again.
ReplyDeletebe grateful you found them - hope you stocked up, without hoarding - probably limits now, right? nobody here has wipes - but pretty easy to make bleach solution - just don't mix anything else with it. I remember once about knocking myself out, mixing bleach and some other cleaner with water - not good - thought I burned my nose hairs out.
ReplyDeleteNormally, I buy the three pack of wipes and when I get down to half left in the last one, go get more. Those 3 last a long time. I am not hoarding, just don't like to shop. All they had left was one lonely one at Kroger and limit one in Walmart, none at Price Chopper. Both off brands. Guess what? There's no bleach anywhere either.
ReplyDeleteMy home supply of wipes is nearly gone but I happen to have a couple of bottles of isopropyl rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, both in the appropriate strength for disinfecting.
ReplyDeletePour some of either on an old wash cloth and I'm all ready to clean doorknobs etc.
