Still watching Avatar.

Zuko was getting better, and now he's worse again. I want to shake him - why are you chasing after your dad? He should be on his knees begging your forgiveness, and you should listen more to your uncle, who actually gives a rat's ass about you!

Sigh. Also, rewatched that episode where Katara goes to the prison ship because reasons, and gives a lot of inspirational speeches without doing proper groundwork first or even taking the time to effectively scope out the situation, and in retrospect I think the Fire Nation soldier who accused the lemur of earthbending wasn't a damn fool, he was trying to protect this dumbass kid from the consequences of showing off her earthbending directly in front of a squad of enemy soldiers. To no avail, but you can't blame him for that.

Well, grocery delivery has turned out to be surpisingly convenient

and there are some things I can order that I can't easily get without a long bus trip - blintzes, Ben and Jerry's ice cream*, butter at a decent price** - but I'll be delighted when I feel secure going to the store myself again. The tips are really cutting into the grocery budget, and I don't begrudge the delivery guys their tips - they earn them! - but....

Also, it was impossible to even get a slot for ages, and I've been buying two weeks at a time, but that's died down and I think I should be able to start buying for one week at a time again pretty soon, especially if I'm buying in person (no tips!), and that'll clear up a lot of fridge space.

Now, NYC is talking about starting to reopen June 8th. Give it two weeks to see if cases spike, that puts us now at the end of June so I think I won't make any changes at all until the third Monday after July 4th. If there isn't a spike at the end of a partially reopened holiday weekend then we should be pretty safe. Safe to go grocery shopping, anyway, in the mornings when it's not too crowded and I'm all masked up.

Still not encouraging my mother to go out and about even a little. Hahahaha no.


* I know, it's a travesty.

** All I ask is that they don't gouge!
