Run errands yesterday, grabbing things for the holidays so I can relax this week unless upon point of death I need something to complete dinner. Get home after hitting multiple stores because we make fried turkey breasts around this place and store one was out, store two had them completely defrosted which would be great on Wednesday but seems super creepy on Saturday plus they were in a container that was smelling kinda funky, and store three had old friends and a recent fellow murderer (long story you'd have to be there). Unpacking the goodies and as I have gotten semi settled I'm asked where is her milk. Her very specific skim milk that is the only milk she will ingest no matter how much more milk is in the house. Well, that wasn't on the nifty shopping list even though for some reason a curtain rod was. She tells me that she asked Alexa to add it to the shopping list but Alexa said it was already on there. Downfall of AI I tell you. Ice milk was on there and after asking for clarification of what that meant last week (salt to melt the ice just in case you were wondering) she didn't take off the wrong item. So as far as Alexa was concerned milk was on the list except it wasn't and I had to run back to the store again to grab water with a dash of milk in it.
This year has been a hot mess. COVID19 has not gone away and in fact is on the upswing again. Campus did make it to our predetermined face to face stop point which was amazing. We did not have a massive outbreak throughout the system really. We did have people get sick but to my knowledge we haven't lost anyone on campus due to COVID. I am counting down my days till my quarantine ends. Thankfully it started as we were already planning to be home so next week when classes start again I'll be in the clear. Navigating this with the nice lady who lives here has been tricky as I thought it would be. Mostly because I still have to interact with her a bit to make sure she's eating, has the groceries she needs and gets her insulin once a day. Insulin you may be asking. Well yes because in addition to my close contact, we are almost four weeks out from mom's last hospital stay. She's fine and I am not sure she'll need the insulin ...
