It’s Saturday, and that means we’re at the bar, trying to help our sanity outlast the virus and weaving in a thread from Linda G. Hill, who gave us the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, yesterday:
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘practice/practise.’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”
I think Linda’s right, we need to “have fun!”
If we were having a beer, we might just want to keep it light.
“How’s it going my young friend?”
“As well as can be expected, David, under the circumstances, that is.”
“Under the circumstances is how I feel. Like they’re a weight that’s pressing me into oblivion.”
“Oh my, David. You sound like a man in need of some John Howell’s Bourbon.”
“That I am, Cheryl. That I am. I just finished grocery shopping and I thought I’d sneak in here on my way back to prison.”
“You better not let the Missus hear you say that, David. That would imply that she’s the warden.”
“Not the warden, but clearly “Swimbo,” if you catch my drift, Cheryl.”
“Oh, I’m familiar with the term, she-who-must-be-obeyed, I carry that moniker in our house.”
“But you’re a benign despot, Cheryl.”
“I am, Dan. Are you still following orders?”
“Yes, I am, Cheryl, although my wife is easy to work for.”
“Well then, I’m sure she’d approve of your having a cold Corona.”
“She would, but David would probably appreciate it if you poured it into a glass.”
“I would indeed, Dan. How are you doing with grocery shopping?”
“I’m getting better, David.”
“Well, like they say, practice makes perfect.”
“Or, in my case, practice makes for a large AMEX bill.”
“I thought she was sending you off with a list.”
“She makes a list, but I still don’t understand the nuances of shopping.”
“Nuances? What are you talking about? You go to the store, you suit up – mask and gloves on, credit card at the ready – and you buy what’s on the list.”
“But there are shortages, and sales, and you have to improvise on sizes and brands. And then, there are things on the shelf that haven’t been there…”
“Like toilet paper?”
“Yes. I confess, sometimes, when I see it, I buy it, cuz you never know.”
“Here’s your beer, Dan. Are you hoarding Corona as well as toilet paper?”
“I’m not hoarding toilet paper, Cheryl, we’ve always bought it in bulk. And, as for beer, that’s my one complaint.”
“What, that they stopped brewing Corona?”
“No, that they open the stores at six-thirty am for seniors, but you can’t buy beer until ten am.”
“Haha – It’s hard to feel sorry for you, Dan. David, here’s your bourbon, your ice and your snifter of seltzer.”
“No cherries…?”
“None that I can see. I’ll have to check in the back.”
“Don’t bother, Cheryl. I can live without them. I mean, we are all in this together.”
“Cheers, David.”
“Cheers, Dan. So, you’re not running short of anything?”
“No, but I’ve had to substitute brands of cat litter, the stores are running low on that, too.”
“Feline toilet paper?”
“I guess so. I mean no one wants to run out of litter, David.”
“Well, at least cats aren’t picky.”
“You don’t have cats, do you, David? By the way, I found some cherries. They’re a bit past the ‘best used by’ date, but…”
“I don’t have cats, Cheryl. Are they picky?”
“They are, indeed. Changing brands of little might result in your bathmat being, um, defiled.”
“Eeew. So, how old are those cherries?”
“Not so old that I’d worry. Besides, the bourbon will kill most anything, let ‘em soak a bit.”
“That old?”
“It’s not like there’s a cherry tree virus, David. Best-used-by dates refer to flavor.”
“I know that, Dan, but flavor is important.”
“It’s a Maraschino Cherry – for crying out loud, it’s not like it’s even a real flavor.”
“But I want the ‘real’ artificial flavor.”
“And you say I’m nuts.”
“Are you still binge-watching the same shows, Dan?”
“I changed it up a bit.”
“How so?”
“Given that I had time, this week I watched some hour-long Twilight Zone episodes from season-four, and some of the two-part Star Trek episodes.”
“That’s not really a change.”
“It’s huge!”
“Dan, how is an hour-long Twilight Zone episode different from two half-hour episodes?”
“It requires double the attention span.”
“Well, I can see how that would be a problem for you.”
“You boys want another round?”
“We do, Cheryl, but maybe you should bring Dan a Coronita, in case he can’t concentrate for twelve ounces.”
Remember, David and I are meeting Cheryl in a virtual bar. I thank you for joining us and I hope you can all stay safe and stay well. The gallery is becoming increasingly local, but I’m still looking for images that make me smile.

Suiting up mentally and physically to go grocery shopping requires a full sized bottle of beer. :-) I’m trying an online order today with pickup this afternoon, but it takes almost a week to get a time slot and then there are a lot of things that you can’t choose online which is going to require going to the store anyway.

Hahaha! There’s just so much to say..but I won’t. We have been using online shopping and either pickup or delivery for groceries. We recently did our first instacart shopping and I must say it wasn’t bad. Perusing the ‘aisles’ on mu ipad showed me things I might have missed in the actual Publix where ‘we’ are so easily distracted by other shoppers, spills on the floor, smells, expiration dates, well…imagine shopping with a human Maddie. 🤭 with Instacart you have a personal shopper who texts you when something needs to be substituted and often you get a more premium product for the lower price which, at Publix, doesn’t always say much. Still…the beer situation there is dismal. It is 7 am here. My knight in Shining Armor actually donned his makeshift hazmat gear to go into the liquor store for my lockdown sanity requirements. He is my hero.
As for cherries, Dear John, I only thought I liked cherries until I started buying premium Merry Cherry brand. I can’t even look at a run-of-the-mill variety the same way now. I make drunk cherries when it is cherry season and that is heaven for a whiskey drink. Lol whoa!

The state has relaxed some laws, but not others. Restaurants can now sell alcohol to go, but they can’t deliver it with meals. Target opens from 8:00-9:00 for seniors, but the pharmacy opens at 10:00. We have always bought certain things online, but we’ve also bought things at Costo (which is a zoo). Most of the things we get at the grocery are perishable items, meat, cheese, veggies and fruit – nothing we’d want to get online. I would have to believe that the shipping of cat litter would cost more than the litter. We normally buy TP in bulk (45 rolls to a pack) – those are impossible to get, so I buy what we’re allowed to buy, when it’s in stock. So far, we’re staying ahead of the curve.

Amazon used to be really good with shipping. If you have Amazon Prime membership your shipping is free. Right now shipping is definitely slower. Costco here ships as well. Grocery stores here will deliver and that includes alcohol. Right now we do not shop at the store in person as has been recommended here in California. I am getting better at figuring out the system. There is about 1 week delay for the order to be filled because so many people are doing the same thing. I got most of what I ordered from one store. I used to use Whole Foods because of free delivery with my Amazon membership but they have had problems with delivery recently. I have had trouble ordering TP because the stores are saying they are out. Today I asked the shopper working on my order if he could check if any TP available and he found the last package of 12 rolls. We used to buy the big pack from Costco but we don’t want to go there at present and they haven’t had any available online either. We still have some TP left over from Costco but have been using it and needed to get a re-supply. It’s hard to figure out what I will need to last for about 2 weeks. We go through fresh fruit and vegetables fast. Milk can be hard to get sometimes.

So far our senior lines at the store last so long, they blend right into the normal hours of shopping so the seniors looking for beer seem to be content.
