AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT’S ANOTHER COVID-POST!
Well, over here in Germany they wanted to implement a law that would force everyone to wear face masks…. but the German military somehow lost a ton of them in Kenia and therefore we don’t have enough to supply all citizens and all the hospitals. So instead…. there’s no law like that, yet.
Another bigger change over here that actually got implemented is the fact that people need to take a shopping cart with them when they are buying groceries… and that’s what this post is about.
Shopping carts are weird. They are clunky and you need to have small change with you in times like these where you don’t really use change… so usually, I’ve got a bag with me that I use to carry the ingredients home. After all, I’ve got no car. But since I’ve got to use a shopping cart now, I always am tempted to buy more as more stuff can fit into the cart but not necessarily in the bag…
And therefore, I ended up having to buy a paper bag last time around to fit in the extra ingredients… which is quite annoying.
I guess, it makes it easier to count people if they are forced to use shopping carts. It’s also easier to disinfect them as they need to stop and wait in line and whatnot. For me personally, it’s just a tad annoying but I guess I can live with doing that once per week when I’m buying eggs and toast, I guess.
Apart from that, life in shutdown works quite well. Due to me being on cold turkey I’m a bit less productive than usual… but I get to produce blog posts and they are a goal that I work towards every day, which is overall quite nice.
As I’ve noticed, the worst part of cold turkey is the fact that you’re missing a certain ritual that you do after everything. After waking up, I went for a smoke on the balcony. After finishing up a chore or blog post, I’d go for a smoke. The usual stuff like post-dinner or after-sex-smokes, etc. are popular rituals, too, but now I need to find something to fill in the gaps. When I play a game of League, I now am going for a drink instead of a smoke after the game (not necessarily alcoholic, but every now and then in the evenings).
But I feel like I’m confident that I’ll slowly be able to quit without eventually turning into some sort of grumpy young lad or an alcoholic.
Oh well.
Either way, I hope that you all are doing fine and I wish y’all a nice day!
Cheers!
