I was bad today.
Apr. 20th, 2020 01:00 amI just couldn't take it anymore, and neither could some of my friends. Three of us met up for coffee, which is challenging when you have to wear a mask in public. It was just gonna be coffee... but then we saw the Farmers Market and, well, we stimulated the local economy just a tad.
Then one friend really needed to hit up Home Depot for some DIY supplies, but the line was TOOOOOO long to get in, so I introduced them to my favorite locally owned, 50+yo, small-but-still-has-EVERYTHING, magical hardware/housewares/garden/candy store... and we all stimulated the local economy just a little a bit more.
On the way home, we got hungry 'cuz the Farmers Market can't give out samples or sell tacos right now (and we'd all drooled over, but passed up, the chocolate truffles at the magic hardware store), so we tried to find a good pizza or taco place that was open and accepting walk-in/drive-thru orders. After several failed attempts, we hit up Chi'lantro, which probably isn't local, but was SO DARN GOOD, and ate it in the car. Here's hoping the Kimchi and Sriracha killed anything potentially lethal that we might have come in contact with.
Yes, we were bad (though we did have masks and hand sanitizer and took all the recommended precautions). But we'd all been so good for so long, and it was nice to feel NORMAL again! In my defense, I think it could be helpful (even necessary, if you're an Extrovert, like me) to let yourself have a little SAFE once in a while so it'll be easier to go the distance.
Otherwise, stay the fuck home!
