One of the bigger stores did that, one day, and by the time that was sorted out and I had come home, the carton of ice cream was already half melted and I was not happy!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-37557976468806713912021-12-04T19:43:26.085-08:002021-12-04T19:43:26.085-08:00Yes, I've lived in a couple of places where et...Yes, I've lived in a couple of places where ethnic food stores weren't within easy access. It really is a blessing to live where there are several ethnic stores. We've become quite spoilt!<br />Thank you, Bushlady; my daughter is feeling a little better, today. :) <br />You are absolutely right - we are still in the middle of a pandemic, especially with a newly identified variant making the rounds! I felt safe enough in the church because almost everyone was masked, but, as I told one of my cousins, this was the biggest gathering I've been to in over 2 years and I felt that was enough! <br />Glad you got to stay home, where it was warm and cozy. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-41655025017339847472021-12-04T19:22:37.215-08:002021-12-04T19:22:37.215-08:00Yes, fortunately, my daughter gets paid sick leave...Yes, fortunately, my daughter gets paid sick leave, so she didn't have to use vacation time off, but she has saved up vacation time off, too, which she will need to use for the week between Christmas and New Year - her office is closed during that week and the staff are required to take mandatory time off! <br /><br />I think it was a blogger issue with posting the photos. I should be able to post them, today. Yes, I stocked up on my tea! The Sri Lankan store does curbside pick up; the Armenian grocery store where I used to go for the cheaper produce, doesn't. There are a couple of other Asian grocery stores I used to go to pre-Covid, but, they don't offer curbside pick up, either. We were thinking that once we've both had our boosters, we might venture out to a grocery store, but, not sure now, with omicron spreading around! <br /><br />Glad to hear that your retired bookkeeper's heart was pleased! :D I didn't feel guilty about what I spent at the Sri Lankan store because I was stocking up with money I had already budgeted. There's a little more left in the unspent grocery budget that will go to get a few more holiday treats and the rest of the cake ingredients, etc. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-47278910085075315452021-12-04T18:10:51.272-08:002021-12-04T18:10:51.272-08:00Thank you, Eileen; my daughter is feeling a bit be...Thank you, Eileen; my daughter is feeling a bit better, today. I would have liked to have gone to the reception, but, I would not have felt comfortable being unmasked, indoors, with so many people. I hope I will be able to post pictures, today. Glad you and Tilly had fun during the last training class. Looking forward to seeing the photos. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-69709382056103019122021-12-04T17:23:26.299-08:002021-12-04T17:23:26.299-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Ratanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046315580220721815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-23757432719651042242021-12-04T16:44:36.044-08:002021-12-04T16:44:36.044-08:00My daughter is feeling a little better, today, tha...My daughter is feeling a little better, today, thank you, Eileen. I think it will take another couple of days for her to recover fully.<br /><br />Ha, ha, I just might have enough treats to last till Christmas, but, just to make sure that I do, I might order a type of coconut pudding (watalappan) from the Sri Lankan restaurant, closer to the date! :D <br /><br />The memorial service went well. There were quite a few people at the church, too, but, they were all masked for the most part. Even so, I felt a bit uncomfortable being among so many people!

Even so, it was the largest gathering of people I had been to in the past two years! It felt OK, but, I am glad I chose not to go to the reception, afterwards.

I hope your daughter will soon feel a lot better. I guess the vaccination is busy boosting her immune system! You are so wise to avoid that huge gathering. I don't like any situation with the possibility that the initial safety measures may deteriorate beyond my control. We are still in a pandemic, booster shots or not!<br />It was snowing when we got up and below zero, a good day to stay in and catch up on some housework and Christmas preparations.

I hope she is feeling better today.<br /><br />And when she does feel better, see if she can help upload the picture of the food from the Sri Lankan store. hahahaha<br />I'm always curious as to what you've bought especially when it's food I don't normally have. <br />I know your favorite tea is from there so that's good you were able to stock up.<br />I didn't think that particular store was doing curbside pickup? Is that a new offer from them?<br /><br />And you were able to use your excess funds in the food budget to pay for this shopping trip. <br />That pleases my retired bookkeeper's heart. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-74756182656875393272021-12-04T04:42:46.331-08:002021-12-04T04:42:46.331-08:00I hope your daughter recovers quickly from the sid...I hope your daughter recovers quickly from the side effects of the booster jab. It's a shame you'll miss the reception but understandable not wanting to join such a large gathering. What a shame your photos aren't uploading to Blogger. I've been having a few problems with comments not publishing unless I log out then log back in again. Just returned from the final dog training class which was good fun and hoping my photos will upload.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-67060360094308449632021-12-04T04:34:52.183-08:002021-12-04T04:34:52.183-08:00Sorry to hear that your daughter wasn't well a...Sorry to hear that your daughter wasn't well after her booster jab and hope she is feeling much better now. It sounds like you are well stocked up on treats from the Sri Lankan store and also as a result of your friend's generosity ... will there be any treats left for Christmas or will you need to buy more? 😊<br /><br />I hope the memorial service for your aunt goes well. Eighty people attending for the reception meal is a big group and I definitely wouldn't be at ease staying for the meal whether I knew them or not. I think you're making the right decision.
