For April 24th

Dad barbecued today, and wanted to send some of the leftovers to my brother and SIL; I volunteered to do so on my usual Pokémon drive. Unfortunately, they did not answer texts, door, or phonecall (I was masked up and retreated from the door immediately after trying the bell), so I ended up taking the BBQ back home, having left my car for no reason. Otherwise I mostly slept today 😅 Or, well, mostly slept after not-as-accidentally-as-I'd-like staying up until 8am... 🙄

For today!

I picked up my prescription via drive-through; I did manage to "pre-pay" on my phone (I'm on Medicaid and my prescription is 100% covered through them), so the pharmacist only had to put the prescription bag in the delivery unit thingamabob, and I was good to go!

Don't know about Mom and Dad; I may cease reporting on them unless I know for certain whether they went out or not.

For today ✌

Just the usual Pokémon drive for me; no idea about Mom and Dad.

For today 😊

Dad took three of the bread loaves I made "last night" to Jewish friends, since today is Holocaust Remembrance Day; luckily Passover also ended recently (IIRC), so leavened bread is back on the menu!

Mom took Chester out to the dog park.

I did my usual Pokémon drive, and that's it.

For today!

Just the usual Pokémon drive for me; I think Dad went to the grocery store, since it's Monday and there's new food in the fridge. Not sure about Mom.
soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Default)
Wait what? I'm actually posting this today?

Only went on my usual Pokémon drive; dunno about Mom and Dad. Will be baking more bread shortly.

For April 18th:

Turns out Dad did most of the bread delivery, rather than Mom; she did hand one off to our mail carrier, who is also a neighbor and one of Chester the dachshund's favorite people (yes, really), but otherwise he did the legwork.

Mom went to the dog park and the grocery store after to pick up some not homemade bread, which, whatever. I also went to the grocery store on a separate trip and picked up a couple of things I'd been craving and some more juice; I wore one of my masks the entire time.

For April 17th:

I did my usual Pokemon drive; don't think anyone else did anything of note, but can't swear one way or another. Also hello, I just finished baking off some bread, so Mom is probably going to deliver some of that today.

For April 16th:

I took Chester out on a very short walk; just a block and a half to the nearest Pokéstop. Mom went out to McDonald's to get us dinner as a thank-you for me taking Chester to the dog park on Wednesday; she wanted to order through the app, but couldn't get it to work, so she ended up going inside to ask for help (with apologies). In the end she had to go through the drive-thru anyway.

I don't think Dad went anywhere?

For April 15th:

Mom asked if she could bribe me to take Chester for a walk; I usually take her up on the offer in exchange for little things, like her loading the dishwasher instead of me. Anyway, I took Chester out to the dog park, which was practically deserted; I came within twenty feet of maybe one other person the entire time I was there. Social distancing success!

For April 14th.

I couldn't resist; I went out on a very brief Pokémon drive, mask on every second I was out of the car. Don't think Mom went anywhere; Dad used one of the masks I made to wish a friend happy birthday from a safe distance, but I think that's about it.

Side note, I used the pattern that's mostly rectangular rather than more fitted; I think I'll try the other pattern out once I've used up all the cloth I have ready, because the rectangular masks get under my chin in a way that feels like it's restricting my airway, even though I know intellectually that it's not. Put your finger under your chin right where it meets your neck and press up a bit, and you might get what I'm feeling. It's also hard to find a good way to position the mask with my glasses so the latter doesn't fog up, but that's also a problem with scarves, so I don't think it'll change much just with mask shape. Maybe if I add a nose wire, but I'm not holding my breath. Worse comes to worst, I can navigate the non-driving world reasonably well sans glasses, and the car is a closed enough environment that, as long as I'm the only one in it, I don't feel like I'm endangering anyone particularly from not wearing a mask.

And we're back to the status quo 😅

I'm pretty sure Dad went grocery shopping, but I only went for my usual Pokémon drive, and Mom probably only walked Chester.

I might be done with even Pokémon drives for a while; I've got an epic sore throat at the moment. It could just be allergies and post-nasal drip (hopefully, even), but who wants to take that chance?
soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Default)
Oh hey, I made it today!

I think Mom went out somewhere today, but I'm not certain, or where if she did. I'm pretty sure Dad stayed home. I stayed home except my usual Pokémon drive.

For April 11th:

Mom and Dad went to the bulk food grocery store; they found a lot of instant yeast there, to the point where they called and asked what type I might want. They brought me home a pound of the kind we use at work, so I think I'm set for a good while! I should at least be able to get through the rest of the bread flour they bought me last time.

They also picked me up some table salt. Dad was apparently unable to resist the half-gallon sized bulk bag. "It was only $2.50!" says Dad. (Mom tried to talk him into a smaller batch, to no avail.) Barring contamination, it's not like it'll go bad in my lifetime. And even then...

I went out and did my Pokémon drive; I got back just as Mom and Dad were leaving to drop goodie baskets off with my brother and SIL, so they invited me along. Mom handed the goodies over on the porch from arms' length, and Dad and I waved from the driveway; my brother and his wife work at one of the local hospitals, and see a lot of people on any given day, so they're being extra super duper cautious.

I finally made myself some cloth masks tonight! I've got five done, and cloth cut for another four. It's from the fat quarters I'd originally gotten to adjust some of my pockets, but I think this is probably a better use for it. Plus, I'm pretty sure I've still got enough in scraps to extend at least ten pockets, so I should be set.

And that's it for today! Er, yesterday. I got real close to updating before midnight this time 😅

For April 10th: Mom went to the dog park with Chester. Dad didn't end up going to the grocery store; the one he wanted to go to is run by the Amish, so it was closed for Good Friday. He's planning to go later today instead.

I ended up going to the local grocery store myself. I wore a bandanna I managed to unearth in my room (since I haven't gotten around to making proper masks yet) and a pair of gloves Mom got me for Xmas that I'd never worn previously (I already had a pair of gloves I really like). The grocery store actually had yeast available—in ziplock baggies, likely from their own bulk supply. I got enough to refill my jar, but I'm still planning to switch to a lower-yeast bread recipe.

Speaking of, with my dad's order finally filled yesterday, my mom put in an order of her own for ten more loaves of bread. Looks like I'm not putting away the mixer yet 😜

April 9th, I did an hour-long Pokémon drive; dunno if my parents did anything special.

I also baked four more loaves of bread, using up the last of my instant yeast. Dad's planned to go to a bulk grocery store tomorrow (er, today), and I put instant yeast on the list, but I'm not particularly expecting him to bring back much (or any). I should try and get up on time to let him know that. Either way, I'll be switching up whatever bread recipe I use for the future; the "pan bread" recipe from work is delicious, but 1Tb per loaf is definitely a bit much.

For two days, because oops.

April 7th: Mom took Chester to the dog park, Dad stayed in/did gardening, I went on a Pokémon drive and left the car for about five minutes to do a raid.

April 8th: No idea, I was asleep for most of it. Oh, aside from doing my Pokémon drive.

See, this is a major flaw in my "Do my log before going to sleep" plan; what with my fucked up sleep schedule, my updates are tending to happen after midnight.

Anyway. Dad went grocery shopping, I did the driving thing, don't think Mom went anywhere. I also crocheted some stingrays and may share pics later, because stingrays.

Nothing to report today, I think? Mom did dog walking, Dad did gardening, I did Pokémon driving, that's all I'm aware of.

Today, Dad did gardening stuff, Mom took Chester to the dog park, and I stayed in the house except to do some Pokémon driving. Nice, simple day.
