Pronoun Trouble

Welp, my paid time off has been extended through early May, so that's. That's a thing. The hotel was using the quarantine as an excuse to complete renovations with no one around, and now renovations are taking a bit longer than expected. We were previously scheduled to open back up right after Easter (so no Easter brunch, and not having to worry about that was already a load off my mind), and now there's another three weeks on the end of that. So. Wow.

I was pretty close to going to the grocery store today; I might actually go tomorrow. I'm on my last container of my favorite juice, and there are a few practical things I want to pick up. (Also maybe sushi, because our grocery store sushi is actually not terrible.) Otherwise, it was business as usual: Driving around to visit Poké-stops.

Dad went out and delivered three more loaves of bread to various people; no-contact drop-offs, all of them. He got a free oil change from the previous bread drop-off, from some elderly neighbors who weren't going to be leaving the house any time soon to get it themselves, which worked out well for everyone involved, IMO.

I've gone through about half my jar of instant dry yeast so far, which is considerably more than I expected to, and maybe a third to half of the 20lbs of bread flour my parents brought home a few weeks back. It's still nice to be baking at home. I may have to start thinking about alternate leaveners, though; keeping a sour in the fridge is definitely an options, but not a terribly viable one at my house (our fridge is usually a mess and/or over-full, and not infrequently both at once), but there are other methods, baking soda and powder among the easier of them.

I think Mom's only been out to walk Chester, but I'm not sure. And that's everyone!

I can make it on time today! I remembered before midnight!

I took Chester out for a walk at a small park; there were other people there, but we didn't get within six feet of any of them, so we're good.

Mom took Chester on a loooong walk before that; not sure about her interactions.

Dad had food charity stuff to do today, so he went to at least one grocery store.

He's also paying me to make bread for some of our neighbors. Not a lot, but it's getting the bread flour used up, and I like the gesture of making stuff for the neighbors anyway, so I'm good.

Aaaaand... done!

Successfully stayed home and/or in the car today.

Mom ordered McDonald's via the app and went to pick it up, which I think, aside from dog walks, is the most "outside-y" thing any of us has done today.

Yay?

I was about to go out on a Poké-stop drive when Mom was leaving for the dog park, and I gave in to temptation. Chester had a pretty good time, as did I (though I ended up wishing I'd left my jacket at home), but Mom...

...Mom. Mom, I love you, but that is not a distance of at least six feet from all humans outside of your household. They were all "just" pass-you-on-the-walkway type interactions, and they were at least three feet away, but still!

Anyway, that was my "leaving both the house and the car" trip for the week. I don't think Dad went out at all today, either, but I'm not certain. At least it made Chester happy.

I don't think Mom or Dad went out today, though I can't say for certain.

I personally decided to walk half a block to the closest Poké-stop instead of driving; get some fresh air, stretch my legs, actually be touched by the sun's rays, etc. I ended up passing by six different humans (and one dog) on the same side of the street as me, and while I did my best to maintain distance, the distance between the curb and the sidewalk was a little narrow in the place where I passed every single one of them, WTF. Lesson learned; I'll be switching back to driving to Poké-stops tomorrow.

Just trying to keep track of this for my own sake, or... something, IDK.

I'm currently debating whether to post these under a locked filter or not; I am vaguely planning to keep doing them for at least a while, at any rate.
