Wednesday (tomorrow) would be two weeks since I left the house in the car.  I've done my first round of 14 days.  I think this morning I'm going to pull the car out and Avery and I will go for a ride.  I certainly do not want the battery to die, so there is purpose there.  I'm not sure where we'll drive to.  I know I'm going to stay off the highways.  I can't tell you how often the thought goes through my head to be extra careful cutting something or when Avery is running that the last thing we need is something that warrants a trip to the hospital or medexpress.

I did get another grocery slot, this one for pickup from a local Aldi.  So I want to make sure the car is running before that pickup day!  Of course, Aldi uses instacart and they're striking at the moment (along with Amazon) so... yeah, this too adds to my anxiety because it makes me think about what happens when all of those workers start getting sick.  I'm going to have to cut out grocery shopping.  It would be hard to go without milk and fresh fruit, but I do have some frozen of each.  I've started looking around for a dairy around here that still has milkmen, but no success yet.  I'm hoping to hear back from one that is north of me.

I've seen pictures of long lines at banks and food banks lately.  That stuff all scares me even more, but yet I'm compelled to watch the news a couple of times a day just to check in.
