As expected, having the Walmart so close has been a game-changer for me. Sunday night, I wanted to make cr\u00eapes with my last egg. But I only had a little bit of almond milk left. I didn\u2019t have to make the choice between having a delicious dinner or having milk for my coffee in the morning. I made dinner, then I took 26 minutes to pop out to Walmart and get the almond milk and some dog food.<\/p>\n

But even more exciting than that, I now finally have a proper little produce store right around the corner from me! I\u2019ve been trying not to get too excited, but she seems to have a steady schedule and to always have quality products and expanding based on client requests. I cannot believe how much I have missed being able to get my fresh produce daily like this. It\u2019s almost like back when I was in Mazatlan and I had a veggie truck coming every day. The shop is about two minutes from me. So I\u2019m there and back in under 10 minutes. It takes me longer than that to walk to the Chuburn\u00e1 market.<\/p>\n

This morning, I wanted a tomato sandwich for breakfast! So I went and got tomatoes. She also had these beautiful guava that I wish you could smell. So I will also have those with breakfast as a nice treat. Her zucchini was perfect, so I now have a veggie stirfry planned for tonight. Today, I noticed that she added lettuce. She is very busy, so I can\u2019t be the only person in my immediate area who is thrilled that she opened up. We\u2019ve had a little veggie stand on that corner for a while, but it was very limited and not the best quality. All of her products are very fresh.<\/p>\n

My neighbour the mechanic mentioned to me the other day that he sees me more now than he ever did even before lockdown. Funny how being able to do my errands so close to home so easily has really changed my routine. Things are opening up here. There are a lot fewer cases and we have had days with no deaths. It\u2019s time to start going out a little bit. I\u2019m still not going to be doing anything like going to a restaurant or anything that\u2019s not strictly for survival. But I am comfortable with doing a little bit of my own shopping again instead of getting everything delivered. Getting fresh air and exercise off the treadmill has been good for morale!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
