So I venture out, alone, to get groceries with a massive list. I am experiencing the CV 19 stay at home orders with “team estrogen”; wife, two daughters and a female dog. Wife and one daughter are both gingers which increases the anxiety of failure on this by several magnitudes.
I hit 3 stores and get everything but one item. Any bets on what I couldn’t get? That’s right, TP. I got hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, feminine hygiene products, meat, chicken... it was a big win. I even got paper napkins if we run out of TP. We still have 8 rolls. I was felling good about the mission until I got home.
I walk in and start dumping bags, the girls are assembled and begin unloading. They ask me questions about the crowds, keeping my distance from people, wiping the handles of stuff prior to touching... then my wife asks where the TP is. When I said all three stores were out the look of disappointment on all their faces was bone crushing. You would have thought I had failed miserably.
I have retreated to my man cave and am avoiding them. I thought they would have been happy, I mean I bought pads and tampons. I even got the right ones (i didn’t know there were so many different variants of those gizmos). Some days you just can’t win.
