Maddening, disappointing and downright upset.

On Saturday the 25th we headed out to a couple small stores for items that I can only get there. We were in and out so fast it made our heads spin. Then to Target because we were told that they had things that WM was always out of and not many people there either. Again in and out in a heartbeat. Why did we leave the stores so abruptly? Because not even 5 people in any of the 3 stores had masks on and not one person respected the distancing of 6 feet or more. It's no wonder the virus is still spreading so heavily. We will no longer take chances like that again. I will not go into any store other than Fry's, when we need meat, until mid summer, if then.  There are still too many people not caring about the spread of the virus. Most were younger people, but too many of the older adults were just as thoughtless.

After the disappointing start we went for a nice long ride. We took different roads and just enjoyed being out of the house. We no longer care about doing anything outside the house or car. Riding around looking at the countryside, was very enjoyable. The ac works well in the car so we were quite comfortable.

We stocked up on meat last week since  many packing and processing plants are closing because of employees, coming down with COVID. Our little 7 cube freezer is almost too full now. Sadly a lot of it is chicken, augh, I hate chicken.  But beef is still so expensive and the cuts of meat are poor quality lately. We did manage to find 4 t-bone steaks that were on sale and looked good. We also got two chuck roasts that I grind up for hamburger, it's cheaper to do it myself.

Yesterday and today we are in an excessive heat warning. Sunday we hit 106º and today 104º for a high. It's way early for these high temps. Maybe that means an early fall. 😃 The sunscreens that we had put on have really done the job that we were hoping for. So we ordered two more for the other two windows on the south side of the house. They do darken the rooms but it's worth it to keep the heat from the sun and glass out of the house. I've noticed that the a/c isn't working as hard as well.

More snowbirds from Washington and Oregon left before the hot weekend. They all said once the heat came, they were leaving. We hope that the rest of them leave soon and maybe the pool will be opened then. Although none of the residents follow the social distancing guidelines. We often have to put up our hand and ask them to stop and stay the distance. Then we get funny looks.  Our space our rules! Our life and our health.
