Vacation Journal Day 1!

Today I\’m mostly staying home. Not that my abode looks anything like the pic at left; I\’m nowhere near that tidy. My place isn\’t nearly that fancy, either.

It was a great luxury to not get up until 7:30 am. I needed the extra hours of sleep. Then I put a pot of brown rice on the stove, and washed yesterday\’s cycling clothes while the rice was cooking.

After that, breakfast; then a walk to the nearby Walgreen\’s. Remember how people were buying toilet paper like crazy when the COVID-19 shut-down began? I was not immune to that craze, and took to buying the stuff whenever I could. Today I got more. There was plenty \”TP\” in the store, so I guess the panic has subsided.

A small restaurant near Walgreen\’s had been listed as a drop-off place for glass jars for recycling. Before going to the store, I went to look for the drop-off bin. It was nowhere in sight. I asked at the restaurant, and was told that they aren\’t participating any more.

Speaking of glass jars — some years ago I bought an 80 oz jar of whole dill pickles. I wanted to use the jar to store rolled oats. I put the pickles in smaller jars so I could have the big jar for my oats right away.

I\’m glad I did that before plastic containers became so common. Plastic absorbs and holds odors. Other things stored in such a container also absorb the odors. Pickle-tainted oatmeal doesn\’t sound very agreeable to me!

After lunch, I began editing work on some of my site\’s pages. One of them is driving me crazy. I\’m having terrible time getting a Good readability score!

So that\’s Vacation Journal Day 1.
