No One Around To Blame

Hello Everyone: I had a rather lovely day. After my morning run, my need for food overrided my need for a shower so I ran off to the grocery store. It seems I didn't have enough coffee (that should never happen) and was out of other staples. The downside of living alone, no one to blame when you run out stuff. Not the first time I've lived alone but it's been a while. At least I had a gift card for the grocery store. The last time I lived alone was when I lived in the South San Francisco Bay Area. It was by choice. It was my first pass at grad school and I chose to live by myself because I didn't want to deal with any room mate drama. I still don't want to deal with other peoples' drama, regardless of the situation. I'm pretty good at generating my own drama. Anyway, I have the pandemic to thank for someone not coming by tomorrow for a visit. Since mum's passing, one of her friends has been coming by every Thursday to chat and drop off some food. It's rather nice of her and I do appreciate it but I need a little break. She texted me this morning to say she can't come by until she's out of quarantine because her husband is ill. I'm a little grateful for that because I don't have to rush through my afternoon and keep an eye on the time. Good because I have to pay some bills. Now that I have a little more money, I can take care of some living expenses. I still haven't thought about the weekly lunch with the family. I'm not in any rush to spend it on clothes and make up, even though I do need both. First I want to spend some time cleaning out my closet and drawers to see what I have and need. I'm a little more methodical that way. I don't like to buy stuff for the sake of buying stuff. Too wasteful. The only downside in my day was having to deal with spotty WiFi connection. Again, no one around to blame. I need the Brit BF to hurry up and move in so I can blame him if something, real or imagined, goes wrong. Anyway, I need to start dinner.
