Advent, Day 18

[wiseheart]

I had a very busy day. First I went to school to drop off Elise's cookie box - unfortunately, I haven't managed to actually meet her; instead, I met a whole bunch of the other girls... masked and from a proper distance, of course. Gosh, how I hate that part! But at least we could wave at each other.

Then I went to the nature shop and brought stuff to treat the fairly ruined skin on my face. The harsh sunlight in the years when I had to stand around on the school yard and keep the kiddies from killing each other didn't have a good effect on my skin. However, argan oil helps a bit with the Moon surface effect.

Then I went to buy my next monthly ticket for public transportation. From there I went to the post office to fetch my parcel. The queue stood till the end of the street. It took me 35 minutes to get into the actual office. The ad on their door said: Parcel Point - get your parcel quickly and easily. Yeah, sure...

Then I went to the only one of the groceries where you can buy meat - and I mean real meat, not the pre-packaged sort. I bought chicken wings and chicken joints (is that what their upper leg is called?) as well as a great lot of other things that were bloody heavy, like potatoes and stuff.

Then I came home and we had breakfast... at 11:30am! Mum was already dressed up for a walk outside, so we went to the Lidl at the next corner to finish our shopping. It was half past three when we finally got home, so we skipped lunch in favour for coffee and some ham pastries. I was truly drained by then.

After some dozing off in front of the telly, though, I realized that I needed to process some of the meat we bought, so I did that. And then the day was almost over, save for two lovely phone chats with Sandy and Elise.

My Good Thing of the day:
Meeting my girls. It beats everything, every single time.

" (is that what their upper leg is called?)"
Chicken thighs. If cooked right I think they're the best part of the chicken.

I know how you feel. I went to my post office (one of the main distributing centers) to mail a package only to find out they closed it due to Covid, so had to go to one further way. This was a much smaller one and the line was halfway out into the parking lot. Took forever to get to the counter. At least, there was an attempt to practice social distancing. Hope I don't have to go again in the near future. Coffee and ham pastries sound like a grand lunch to me.

I am so glad that you got to see some of your girls, even if it was at a distance.

Also - coffee and ham pastries sound like a nice lunch to me :)

Ah, thanks! I used to favour them in my youth, too. Getting older, I tend more towards chicken breasts now. *g*

They were yummy. Plus, I bought them ready-made, so I didn't have to work with them. On a day like this that was a blessing.

Over here lunch is usually the cooked meal of the day. But on a day like this I was happy to have something ready-made that didn't require much to do. *g*
