DAY 4

Hi my name is Peyton  and my Mamaw thought that I should do the blog today.

People think this is the end of the world. But it is no where close to what I think is the end of the world. I think the the world will end if trump is are president for a year again. No joking I think the world will end when we all die or when all of the world is shut down we will run out of stuff.

HERE ARE 5 WAY TO HELP THE COMMUNITY

*cough in to sleeve
*use tissue
*DO NOT SHARE
*wash your hands
*do not get stuff you don't need

Miss Nine Year Old has a lot of opinions and big ideas. It is a challenge to keep up with her. We have been struggling along with a ten year old, very slow laptop for her schoolwork. I went to Best Buy today and bought her a Chromebook. It is so much faster and totally suited to what she needs. She was over the top excited when she saw it.

Occasionally she prints a neighborhood newsletter called Peyton's New and Tips. After blogging today she typed up a new one, listing all of the things you should do at this time. Here it is in a nutshell:

For covid-19 

• Wash your hands
• Cough into your sleeve
• Use tissue
• Do not touch your face
• Do not get stuff you don’t need  

She immediately went to pass them around to the neighbors. I am sure that they will be happy to have this important information.

I have long thought about ordering groceries online, but have never done it. Today I placed an order with Meijer Thrifty Acres. I wanted to find out how the process worked.  I scheduled a time for pickup between 2:00 and 3:00. At promptly 2:00 I got a text from a young man who was doing my shopping. He asked if I wanted to add anything to my order, what time I planned to arrive for pickup and what I would be driving. He later texted me saying that a couple of the things I ordered were out of stock. No, it was not toilet paper. When I pulled up in front of Meijer, there he was with my bags in a cart. He loaded them in the car for me and we had a little chat about the craziness going on in the store. He said that early in the morning several pallets of toilet paper were put out in an aisle, never even made it to the shelves. Shoppers were loading up with their limit of five packages, some couples split up so that they could get ten packages. He told me that he had seen posts online where people were selling t.p.for $50 a package. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do out of fear and greed. I thanked him and went on my way. It cost me about $5 to have him shop and bring my groceries to the car. For $10 he would have brought them to my door! I think I am a convert to this way of shopping, social distancing or not!
