@anniepie I’m glad you are able to get your deliveries. I was having such a hard time getting a delivery in my area, I finally gave up and went to the market myself. With my gloves and Clorox wipes and mask, (which fogs up because of my glasses, lol). I worry about the time we start to re-open. I think people will stop being vigilant and it will cause another “wave” of illness.
I’m sorry you’re so isolated, but you seem to still be in good spirits. I will keep you and the rest of us in my prayers.
And for anyone else with the fogging glasses problem, I heard if you fold a tissue and put it under the nose piece it stops the fogging. It works! Although if it moves you start getting little piece of tissue in your mouth! You have to be VERY careful with the folding and placement. LOL 😂

@ginak ...Thank you for that wonderful tip on fogged glasses!!! Are you here in the US? (somehow I am thinking NY??) I am buying groceries online through Walmart. I drive to their designated parking spots and they come out and load them into my cargo space- no interaction whatsoever. I still do wear my mask as when they load they will lean into my SUV. It takes sometimes several days to get an order placed but keeps me out of the stores. Kate

@ginak Thanks so much Gina. Lots of people on this site have more difficulties than me -- so it's all no biggie, really.
True -- the food deliveries continue to be trial and error. It's really hard to tell what size things are. (So I ended up with huge meat trays when they looked so small in the photo! And giant bags of blueberries for my tiny freezer! Just crazy).
Yes! My glasses fog up heaps too when I wear a mask -- laugh. Thanks so much for the tip -- we'll see, but a stray tissue will also be good for a laugh anyway. You are such a balm, Gina. Please look after yourself. Annie x
