Adorkable rockstar!
I forgot salt at the store and I want to attempt kimchi. Whoops. I have never tried to make it.

I went to the Dollar General and forgot coffee and coffee filters! I had gotten some coffee at Big Lots the other day but it isn't very good. I am going to get some I know I like and mix it together. That cheap "generic" coffee at Big Lots is not recommended!
I don't know if I've ever run out of salt! Or for that matter, when I last bought salt. I buy the typical Morton canister, and when I can tell it's low filling up the shaker I buy another. Seems like it lasts for years, maybe it does.
You're getting an Aldi right? They have good coffee! Not as cheap as cheap coffee, I think I pay like 5 for a 17oz bag of the German roast- they're all about that price, ground and whole bean. I also get the Cafe Bustelo espresso to sometimes mix, that's even cheaper, though I've seen it elsewhere a good bit more!

The Aldi's opened this past week and I will have to go there when the excitement dies down. I am sure it is very crowded!

My favorite. I like to mix it with a Starbucks or Peet’s dark roast when they go on sale. I can get them for $5.99 and I try and stock up. It’s an amazing blend.
I pay 4.89 for the Bustelo. Occasionally it goes on sale for 3.99
Every spring I get the gardening bug, and nothing much ever comes of it....
I was quoted $200 for a 4x8 raised bed with 10" premium soil. For $380 it includes 7' deer fencing.
I'm tempted

I get the bug too but then I don’t follow through. I hate that. For it’s that I don’t enjoy the act of gardening. I want the fruits without the labor lol.
^perennials. Plant em once and don't worry about them again.
My ex responded to my email. I hadn't expected a response... I sent details to him on a practical matter, it wasn't emotional at all. He has been ignoring me for the past year, and now he responds? I dunno what to think.
Congratulations! That's fantastic.
I hope the one near your new home is better. I love my Aldi. It's about 5 or 6 miles from my house.

Why are young children so destructive? Send help, hahaha

I heard this on the news and it made me laugh. A mum in the UK didn't tell her children (don't know their age) that it was
the Easter school holidays, so they did their school work all week long.

I am about to do some stretching on my yoga mat and I am going to deep condition my hair afterwards. Properly, when you wet your hair first. I'm usually too lazy to do that but it's not like I don't have the time now!
I have only used that mat about 10 times at the most and I bought it in the summer of 2017!

It's a new day, the weather is mild and warm (48.2°F). Mom is making fried eggs which riles me up, because this stinky sunflower oil is flying over the flat and making me nauseated. I ditched any oil now (when the LD started), and i feel a lot better. (I used to consume it only in store-brand pickled yuba, but that was a nasty feeling). Why can't mom understand that not everyone likes being covered with flying particles of stinky oil?? Why can't she close the door to the kitchen and open the window while frying her eggs??? She was even trying to beat me with a broom, but i ran away. I also said that if she breaks my finger again (like she did once), it will be her fault.
I feel grateful to her though: she has crawled to Magnet grocer this morning and bought some food. I hope she has bought something for Unghshu too. When/IF i get my wages, i'll need to go the the pharmacy shop, and that is stressing me out. OTOH, if i call there beforehand, if i come at 8a.m. and have a list of what i need,- i'll probably won't meet anyone, or a couple dudes/dudesses inside the pharmacy shop.
Gala has been calling. She said that old baba Tamara (my aunt's MIL) had died this morning. She died while sleeping (she just didn't wake up), so, i hope, she didn't suffer too badly. Poor mite...
She had lived with Alzheimers disease her last years, and her life was really miserable. We all knew her well, as she'd always lived with my aunt and her deceased husband. She lived with Natasha, grandpa and Gala lately. I'm worried about two things now: first of all, how are they going to arrange her cremation in conditions of quarantine? When Gala was calling, they were waiting for doctors, and maybe police. Having strangers at their place is dangerous for Gala, and everyone else, including us. Second: i'm worried that now, when Natasha has got rid of Tamara, she won't need Gala anymore, and will try to get her out of the flat. Gala has almost nowhere to go. I understand that Sumerian gods have taken Tamara (it's the best thing they could do for her in this situation, and it's the best way they could do it), but i'll miss Tamara.
Her last photo (i didn't take it): Natasha is giving her a bouquet on the International women's day. RIP, baba Tamara.

We have only one takeaway delivery option in our area, which is fine as we don't get takeaways anyway so makes no difference to us. Maybe once/twice a year we will order for a special occasion.
BUT a small local vegan business that we have supported from their very first day are offering local delivery on Tuesdays so here is what I'm having tonight:
Burger - black bean, walnut & mushroom patty with tamarind peppers, cheeze & spicy sauce.
Air fried fries with rosemary salt & hickory bbq sauce.
Mustard slaw.

Morning/afternoon y'all! It is going to be a beautiful day today though it will get very warm, probably the upper 80's. I am going to Target today since I didn't go yesterday. I like my small gardening. The flowers make me happy and fresh tomatoes are awesome! I don't spend that much money. I do need a new shovel now cause the handle on mine broke when I was digging the dirt!

Sorry to read that.x
Sounds lovely!
I'm so disgusted with American doctors (because I only know of American doctors)
First I get referred to a doctor when I said I needed to find someone closer to my home, when I finally get the online appt he tells me he's retiring and gave me another name . I get to listen to him telling me the very same information I get every time I turn on the TV about covid, doesn't listen to anything else, but will fill my prescriptions. I then find the meds I've been taking for years aren't covered with my new ins that was just changed. I spend about all day last Fri trying to get it changed to one they will cover, NOT the same ones sent to another pharmacy 
.
Since I went home yesterday I need a doctor to confirm whether or not I can go back to work. The doctor I tried to transition to wants me to call my last doctor, who I had only seen twice and wanted to change more because she just doesn't hear what I say more than the distance. I get an online chat with her and again all she does is focus on me saying my digestion had been weird and I had stomach pains which sent me home. Not the fact I slept for hours with chills, or coughed at night, or used my inhalor more than needed. She kept telling me I should take probiotics.
I don't know if I'm sick or not, but the disgestive issues were not the issue I was concerned about. I once took probiotics I'd gotten for my son and OMG they gave me exactly what they were touted to cure!

Hello everyone!
It's a very warm and sunny day (evening), and Unghshu is heading out for a walk.
Mom went to "Magnet" grocer in the morning, but later, she decided to have a walk and dropped by that small Azeri market. This place has become the only spot where we can buy fruits and veggies, except those rare occasions when she goes to shops. But in shops she buys mostly her carnivorous greasy stuff and those items that can't be bought in small kiosks. She got some valuable items today, like cabbage, apples, pomegranate juice, pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, grass, etc. I asked her to peel the beets, as i'm craving beets and want to devour them raw.
Nasty students and their parents p#ssed me off again, and i spent half of the day explaining to them the same old things over and over again.
Screw them... Unghshu needs to stretch his limbs. Off i go to the river!
I haven't tried that new route again, as my average route seems more safe to me, so perhaps i'll try it tomorrow. ...But i expanded my current route! Later, i'll count it on my navigator and tell you how long it is now.
Unghshu's walk (yesterday evening).
Couldn't help taking a photo. I liked this car that stands at our house.
Ducklings are running towards the humanoids to beg for food. (Humanoids have this permanent tendency to make crowds out of nothing, uugghh).
