This is extremely minor but I miss shopping. In person. At thrift stores. We can’t really afford to shop at regular stores and you can’t visit thrift stores online and I am sad. I miss my regular life. The end.

I can’t believe I was like, “We need to stock up on things now before the end of the world,” & Conor was like, “I don’t think we need to worry about that,” & I was like “You’re right I guess” HE WAS NOT RIGHT

I genuinely had decided that for lent I was going to give up living in a scarcity mindset where I was afraid that everything was going to run out and not be available in the future

CAN YOU BELIEVE

I am messaging my local secondhand store on facebook and they are setting things aside for me and I am sending them money and I love them.

So the good news is I’ve been facebook messaging/instagram messaging/texting/chatting on the phone with so many lovely local business owners. The bad news is now they are all my tender friends and I need to buy something from all of them!!!!!! rip @ my budget

I miss TOUCHING THINGS. I miss not having a panic attack when I go to the grocery store. I miss not being afraid of getting too close to other people.

I’m so sad about the loss of community. Not being able to take my daughter to library story times or the community pool or the rec center play time. Not being able to visit local thrift stores. We’re being creative and innovative but there’s still such a loss & I’m sad.
