What drives me mad while I'm sick? That I can't grocery shop.

So I sent my parents to do the job. I thought my list was very clear, and yet they make a lot of mistakes still...

Next time if I ever need to send them out again, I probably should create a grocery list in the form of a fucking picture book.

I swear this might be my number one reason to hate being sick.

@trinsec I can relate to this on an almost spiritual level 😂

Do y'all have store apps where you can place a pickup order where you pay online and they'll just have it ready for you to grab outside?

In the US we have a "curbside pickup" for cars, and you can place your order in the app and they put it in your trunk (boot) at no extra cost. Maybe there's a rough equivalent?

@johnabs Technically speaking my supermarket chain offers that option... at pickup points in other towns. :/ Bit silly to drive 20 minutes out to pick it up while the supermarket is pretty much around the corner here.

@trinsec Oh, and I forgot! I hope you feel better soon :ablobattention:

@johnabs Thanks. Currently coughing my lungs out to get rid of the solid slime.

Well, at least the sneezing and nose leaking has stopped... Especially the sneezing was damn annoying.

Now I just have to deal with sore muscles around my ribcage while coughing... :P

@trinsec Sorry to hear about the slime 🤢 I've been there before: I had pneumonia twice as a kid and remember those weeks of hacking up gross gunk in the hospital all too well 😣.

At the very least, you should be able to craft loads of sticky pistons once you're feeling better, so long as you save the tissues 😂

And thanks for the info and maps! Here's hoping for an opportunity to put them to good use in the near future 😉
