Shopping Question

Other than going to work, grocery shopping or picking up food curbside, have you shopped at any other stores since the stay at home orders have been in effect? If you have, were you comfortable going there?

I went to Lowes yesterday and I was very surprised that most of the customers weren't wearing face masks. The employees weren't either. It made me feel uncomfortable and I couldn't wait to get to my car and use some hand sanitizer.

I have been to Lowes and Walmart as well as a grocery store. I don't wear a mask. It doesn't bother me not seeing masks...I'm more bothered by seeing them to be honest....mainly because many people are wearing them incorrectly or pull them down when they talk to someone. I feel I'm more likely to get hit by the virus when someone flips their mask down to talk than when they walk by me without one. That being said...the other reason I don't wear one is that I have a rash that has broken out on my face (I'm allergic to something floating in the air in NC) and the mask irritates it and makes it worse which makes me want to scratch my face more. I am also in a very large county where there have only been 12 cases confirmed at this point. If I was in a more congested area I would probably wear one.

We haven't. DH does all the grocery shopping and runs into the stores to get my prescriptions. My iron did go out today, I knew it was happening but today it just died. DH said for me to look online and he would do store pick up for me but I think I am ok to just get it from Amazon. All my ironing is caught up but if I have to make more masks (did 9 more today) than I can use the one I had at the cabin that still works but isn't a professional one like I am used to.

I still go to work once a week but usually nobody is there but me and if they are they are working on a different part of the building.

I go to 2 grocery stores around every 10 days. I wear a mask. I went to target around Easter to get basket stuff for my kiddos and more tp.

I go to work and home. I have gone on two quick drives with Shawn to fill up the gas tanks, and or to just get out of the house. I went to the grocery store with him the other day for the first time to see the empty shelves for myself and take a pic or two in case this pandemic drags out longer, and I actually do decide to document it. Right now I've only done the one page of G doing his homework online . . .
