Omicron Peak
Woke up at 7:30 AM. Decided to get up and have a leisurely breakfast before work.
Mimi is not happy that Zara is sharing my desk chair. She's asking me to go lie down with her, but I'm explaining to her I need to work. She doesn't think that's a good reason.
When I went to take my COVID test, there was a sign saying that the pharmacy was closed because of staffing issues. And Walmart is reducing their hours, presumably because of staffing issues. Eeek! It looks like the Omicron peak is here.
Okay, I'm going to put in a grocery delivery order at Aldi tonight (though there's an ethics issue with sending someone out for me). And then I will put in a pickup order for Saturday at Walmart, which is the earliest time that they have open. I'm going to hold off on the haircut for now.
I have a new COVID test scheduled for Sunday.
The grocery order went well, except she was waiting for a response from me, and Instacart didn't pop up the message. Now I know to refresh if nothing seems to happen for a while. I could get hooked on this, but it costs more money. But perhaps spending my time decluttering rather than shopping would give me more bang for my buck. I've submitted my pickup order at Walmart for Saturday. The cat litter and soda need to be shipped, but that's even better. I just got enough for free shipping. I added more diet cola to the order so that I don't have to go to Dollar Tree.
Got the groceries put away. The only downside is that I have even more reusable Aldi bags. Next time, I'll ask for paper bags.
Maybe I'll get some stir-fry veggies in my next Aldi order. I want to eat more veggies. Also, I should put sweet potato-black bean burritos on my list sometime.
I'm wondering if I should hire a cleaner to come every other week, but I want to get more organized first.
I have a good edited draft of my essay. I posted it to Dreamwidth/LJ and to my Facebook beta reading group. We'll see what comments I get.
Time to go clean. I think I'll post this though because I'm at my computer. And then turn my desk chair over to Zara, who will appreciate it.
