I food shopped on Tuesday. In both local supermarkets the papergoods aisles were completely empty. It seems the toilet paper hoarders from last week were smart, lol. I have enough on hand for now. I read that they will be replenishing quickly, but that hand sanitizer will remain scarce.

We were able to get a little TP yesterday. Ironically a number of the hand sanitizers don't have the correct amount of alcohol to be useful.

On long bike rides, I'm the one who helps the end of the pack so they KNOW they can do it. I support them. I cheer them on. I sing. I ring my bell.

But, like the above poster, I am so content and so happy to be home and working out at home. By the time I get home from work, I am so "peopled out" that I am fine to just be here in silence. No tv, no radio. Just silence. and I have no desire to go out. Whatsoever. I was a SAHM for years and LOVED it. (one car family also) .... soooooooo

Is there such a thing as an introverted extrovert?

I'm similar, I think it's called a social introvert. Being around people exhausts me, I have to recharge. OTH, I have to be around people regularly, and have some conversations, or I get depressed.

Gotta buy top shelf non-sale items at ridiculous prices. And they still didn't have fresh chicken. I did buy frozen chicken breasts, but it has been years since I've bought those. I will say that everyone was calm and pleasant at the store, so that was a plus!
Trader Joe's is limiting to two items per person. I hadn't been there in over a week. I went yesterday evening and found few things I needed and good enough substitutes. I went first thing this morning and was able to get milk, eggs and butter. Still no tp, but I have a full package from Costco that I had bought before all this started.

It seems ironic to me that I'm not able to get everything I need, yet I've never spent this much on groceries!

I might go to Costco tomorrow and ask at the front door if they have Clorox, TP and/or soap, and if they do, I will pay for a membership at that moment.

Same here. Much of my career, I have been a trainer who led classes in person. People couldn't believe I am an introvert. I would go, have a great class, and then go home and crash. Do I want to go out after class to socialize? Ha! No!!

I do get antsy if I don't talk to anyone or get outside at all during all of this "new normal". I'm trying to figure out who I can start video chatting with in short bursts.

Alton Brown has a video on youtube telling why handwashing with soap and water is better than hand sanitizer.
