These days we carefully plan our few trips out to the store to last us a while, but sometimes you have to run out for an emergency plumbing part so your new sink doesn’t leak, which is what E did.

Tennessee just opened up for business, so Lowes was packed with stupid, clueless people.  It was like running a gauntlet through a war zone just to get one part and get out.  The lines were extremely long, people weren’t distancing, and employees weren’t wearing protection.  Her checkout person said god would protect them.  Seriously.  It’s like they live on a reality show zombie island, with a barbaric pig in charge.  Who could I mean?

Anyway, aside from the horror (the horror), it’s a beautiful May 1, and we’re staying busy and productive with our respective plumbing, gardening, and cooking shows.  There’s no lack of things to get done.  And no shortage of spectacular flowers and plants.  Misu the Mascot is the only one lounging I mean supervising, when she isn’t maniacally galloping back and forth, finding new and creative ways to get attention.
