MiniPlu says she still wants her cap and gown Do you have to buy your gown? We rented the gown, and bought the hat - so we got to keep the hat but turned the gown back in - which made sense to me, because you aren't ever going to wear the gown again!
Poor kitty - hopefully he responds well to the antibiotics!
Hooray for acquiring toilet paper and paper towels! I just finished off a roll of paper towel - I should look in the garage and see how many rolls I have left - I don't go through paper towel very quickly - UNLESS I am having microwave baked potatoes for dinner :) So I hadn't been panicking about not seeing any on the shelves.
With seven messy people in this house, plus animals who periodically puke just to annoy us, we go through a fair number of paper towels. We weren't out yet, but I was definitely on the lookout to restock soon!
Caps and gowns are purchased at our high school (as they were for my HS, as well). The rental happened (for me) at the college level. MiniPlu is irked because for a jillion years, the girls had white caps/gowns and boys black. The school colors are red and black, so that would have made more sense, but the middle school requisitioned the red gowns (no caps) for their 8th grade graduation and, anyway, white and black was ok (and better than the randomly green drapes senior girls wear for pictures). And then ... this year ... after having had kids pose in the respective white/black caps/gowns for senior photos, TPTB decided everyone would wear red caps and gowns. Why? I have NO idea. This means that it is absolutely non-special as just about everyone will have worn red already for 8th grade grad, and some kids will have

Huh - all the schools in my town had identical gowns for boys and girls - either dark blue, black or dark wine red, and then a stole in the school colours

Maybe it's a Canadian thing? College graduations here are usually all-black (for everyone). My college didn't do stoles but maybe some places do

It's the same with yeast here ... definitely strange. And very strange this doesn't happen only in one country but everywhere. I went shopping with my mum today - first time since the lockdown for me - and the shelves were all surprisingly full. A huge pile of tp and lots of hand sanitizer/antibacterial wipes etc. Only 1 per customer, though.
If the yeast shortage is that widespread, that speaks of supply-chain issues of some kind. I wonder what's going on? Has a major yeast factory shut down somewhere?
I'm surprised you haven't had to go shopping until now! How were you getting groceries for the past 6 weeks? Lucky you with the antibacterial wipes - I've only seen those once, in one store, since this all began, but since we still have some (that we already owned), I didn't buy more. I figured others had needs greater than mine.
Oh - my mum did all the shopping since I've been working. I'm having all my meals with my parents these days. And tbh - my mum is still the healthiest in the family.
Aww man ... prom is one of the single most important events for kids. O_o She must be devastated. Crossing all my fingers that the cat pulls through! Though, 15 is a good age. The cat that I grew up with went across the rainbow bridge last year, aged 18.
