For the first time in a almost a year, I went shopping. I was surprised to discover that I had missed it. When I was diagnosed with this dire disease, the good doctors recommended that I stay away from crowds of people in order to avoid infections, so I stayed out of grocery stores. But yesterday morning, while Doreen was doing the grocery shopping in preparation for our dinner party, I went to the liquor store to buy the wine. We decided that there would be very few people in the liquor store first thing in the morning. We were correct. I had the place to myself.
The grocery store and the wine store are adjacent so when I was finished, I waited for Doreen at the front of the grocery store in the sitting area of the deli section. And I drank a cup of coffee which was also a milestone as I have not been able to drink coffee. Don visited the hardware store and joined us for coffee before we headed home. I was delighted to discover that I actually enjoyed selecting the wine and drinking my coffee. And no one else was sitting in the dining area so I was alone, but I could watch the people walking by in the distance doing their grocery shopping. Simple pleasures bring satisfaction once again. I did not know I had missed the shopping.
