Blabbering Instead of Writing

Beards, masks, and legal pads

I’m not in the mood to write so I’m just going to blabber. Is that okay?

I went to the grocery store the other day. I noticed that way more people were wearing masks than during any of my previous grocery store visits over the last two months. The fear level seems to have increased. I also noticed that there were way more scarf masks than medical surgical masks.

Then I turned into the oil and spice aisle to pick up some raw, unrefined, unprocessed, organic coconut oil — one of my three favorite oils. I noticed a man walking in my direction wearing a gas mask. You know, one of those masks that covers the entire face with a very long protuberance coming out from the nose and mouth area. Someone could have let loose a tear gas cannister in that aisle and that person could have maintained their casual shopping.

I laughed. I couldn’t help it. Halloween in May. I quickly realized that levity is something we all desperately need right now.

I continued down that aisle to pick up some organic sesame seed oil — another one of my favorite three oils. Sometimes I wish someone would invent an organic sesame seed oil scented candle so that I could smell it all day.
