the grass is greener

 When I looked outside this morning the grass seemed greener, so I guess yesterday's rain was beneficial.

This morning I went to food basics. It wasn't too busy but of the people who were there their trolleys were very full, which I suppose is good to stock up for the stay at home order. But there were only 2 cash desks open so that slowed things down a lot. I had been going for meat, cheese and juice so I was relatively successful.

Then I went to shoppers for a couple of things. Not too busy but a lineup at the checkout as there was only 1 cash open. I used the self checkout so that went faster. The lady at the cash was buying lottery tickets. How can they be roping off clothing as inessential but yet lottery tickets are essential? That seems a bit ridiculous.

They closed Breakwater park because they didn't want the students to gather and so noone is able to enjoy this beautiful day there. However, this likely just pushes them indoors which is where the virus is more transmissible from what the information seems to suggest so I am uncertain how helpful this closure will be. I'm going to try to bike to lake ontario park. I feel like I didn't get much exercise yesterday so treating myself to a bike ride before getting back to work seems like a good idea!
