I don't know where you live. Many businesses here are still shut down,
people are still out of work and due to the 35 million dollars that was
given to Nigerian scammers, many people that should have been given
unemployment, didn't get a dime. The government lied and said all were paid.
Bull. Yes, there is an investigation.

Most of our cherry crop never made it to market.

Most people here have put on weight because they're eating crap now instead
of healthy food. Our diet has changed. Because I'm only supposed to shop
once every two weeks, I'm buying much less fresh produce. Good, fresh meat
is often not available. There were slim pickin's on the lunch meat at the
Walmart Neighborhood Market. We've been eating less meat. Most of the meat I
have been buying is precooked, Hormel or Del Real. Why? It's available.
Justin is eating mostly cold cereal, pasta with Parmesan and canned
vegetables. No, not all mixed together. We don't normally eat cereal. I've
been trying to eat some but I don't like it very much, nor is it good for a
diabetic. Cheese is now our main source of protein. I can always find that
but it might not be the kind I want.

My shopping now in no way shape or form is like it used to be. I order what
I can online, and when in the store, I grab what I can find.

We have lost weight. I've been working out a lot. He's just getting a lot of
physical labor type work.

I don't bring much home in the way of junk food. If I don't buy it, we can't
eat it.
