Of course there have been some items that were snatched up by hoarders and aren't available from the usual stores. The items we haven't been able to order are flour, rice and yeast.
Instead of getting upset, I chose to turn it into a scavenger hunt. Rob scored 10 pounds of flour last week. He was in a store for something else and checked out the baking aisle. There it was, one lone bag of flour. Got it. One item off the list.
Today I found a restaurant online that was selling supplies. When we called they had rice. We now have 50 pounds of rice snuggly stored in the pantry.
The last item is yeast and this one is really tough. I'll keep looking but I may have to ask for help eventually.

We got some toilet paper too. It was the greatest thing I have done all year
There's been flour lately, and it's like hitting the lottery when Ma finds hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, and paper products! Though, she is okay of the TP for nows, so she isn't worried, cause her Target has had at least some brand available the past couple of weeks. I thinks FINALLY peeps have stopped panic buying! Paws crossed! And last week, Ma didn't even have to stand in line to gets in the store! WoooHooo! Anyhu, nows that Ma got an email that charity donations will be opening again soon, she can finally clean out some crap...um...stuff, and organize! BOL!
If Ma sees some yeast, she'll send some your way ☺

We're fine....way out here in the middle of nowhere. We can get out for exercise, do essential shopping and get takeaway from restaurants if you want. For a few weeks, now the shops have had full shelves--hoarding seems over. People still sanitize and social distance. You seem to have put a positive spin on everything...good for you!
it's interesting how much things changed... but we hope for good news today and a good plan if they really want to expand the time to 7/24...
Staying home is the usual for us so it's not much of an issue. I had an issue finding rice too but I scored last Tuesday with rice and tp. yay☺
Well, Momma working from home is REALLY messing with my sleep schedule! But she says she finally got in a routine and is happier for it. We definitely spent some early days laying on the couch and feeling pathetic.
Mom doesn't mind staying at home because there is always something else to do, but she really missed not getting to spend as much time with the family, especially the grands who are all growing up way too fast.
There are a few things she hasn't been able to find either, but so far nothing critical. We think things might get worse before they get better; meat will be next:(
