hey, hey, hey

I've still got a couple hours work to do, but I just remembered something: It's Friday!!!

It was a nice day today; a little cool but nicely warm in the sun. I cut a shoe box to provide a shade for my laptop screen, then took a chair outside and sat and worked on my laptop in the sunshine for quite a while. First time I've done that. There wasn't as much glare on my screen as I thought there might be. Will probably do that more days in the future as long as the weather is right.

Ah. It's the season for these little red running mites. I've had more of them crawling onto my arms from the desk while working inside than outside.

The yellow irises have bloomed, tall.

I don't really need anything right now (not yet), but keep wondering if I should go grocery shopping. I haven't been to a store since 3/15. I might run out of soymilk in 2 weeks, and that might be the worst time to go out. Although... if that webpage was right and our peak here will be on Apr.24, then now 14 days before the peak, might actually be a bad time too. I dunno. It's not like I can't do without soymilk for a while.

On that last shopping trip, I went to a Food Lion I hadn't been to before. (There used to be a Bi-Lo there before it shut down.) They had a lot of Passover items. Boxes of good-looking dark-chocolate covered orange peels, but with no price listed. I figured it would be expensive, so put only one box in my cart. It didn't ring up any price at the cash register either though, and the cashier ended up charging me only $1.50 for it! If I'd known, I'da gotten 3 or 4 boxes.

In the frozen food section, they also had eggplant cutlets, vegan schnitzel(!), potato "bourekas" (puff pastry squares with seasoned mashed potato filling), and bialys. I haven't had bialys since Rosewood Market stopped selling them. I hope this Food Lion stocks them year-round and not only for Passover.
