Good intentions are coming to naught, yet again.

I had planned to skip all grocery stores this weekend; but now I see that such a plan isn\’t quite practical. I ran out of scallions several days ago, and really miss them. I have part of a yellow onion; but it\’s getting too old. I\’m out of bananas; and I want a cauliflower. I\’m running low on bread, too.

I thought of going to Whole Foods; but the lure of the salvage store is hard to resist. I never know when they\’ll have a lot of goods that will let me stock up big-time; and I\’m reluctant to miss an opportunity. I\’m also reluctant to miss the ride!

Of course I can order online from Whole Foods. Doing that would let me ride to the salvage store tomorrow morning. I don\’t like trying to hit both stores on the same day because of traffic concerns; and the later I go, the more people will be at the store. I had my second COVID-19 vaccine dose day before yesterday; but why take chances?

Another factor is that ordering groceries online seems a lot more costly than buying them in the store. That\’s no surprise; I\’m paying for the convenience. There\’s no such convenience attached to the salvage store, and I don\’t expect that there ever will be; so if I want stuff from both stores tomorrow, I have to order online from Whole Foods.

Yesterday morning I saw that my ride plans were coming to naught when I suddenly felt light-headed and very tired. My arms and legs still felt achy this morning, so I headed for the local park and rode five easy laps. It was good just to get out and ride; and we all need to take it easy sometimes!
