Braving Costco

Most of the time, I do not need the large, economy size that will expire long before the contents have been used/consumed/whatever. Usually my local Safeway is more than adequate for everyday. But there are those times…

Example – where else can I find large. storage containers, coconut bars, laundry detergent, and two-pound bags of coffee at one stop? If my memory serves me correctly, since I try to forget the journey as soon as it happens there also might have been beef jerky and granola in the cart. No clothing items were touched, mauled, or purchased. Neither were there any pet items or dairy. Wait! I forgot. There was that large package of string cheese?

Anyway, I was more than glad to get home, away from the crowds (all social distancing pretty much and masks are ubiquitous) and back to my nest. I added another 1100+ stitches to various projects and headed to bed at a more than reasonable time.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
