Crazy shopping

I have to line up to get into Walmart when they open. Walmart used to be open 24 hours, but now restricts the hours that it's open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. They clean the store and try their best to restock the shelves.

I've been trying not to go to Walmart at all and just staying home as much as possible. We were totally out of perishable foods and so I got up early to try and get the items we needed before they sold out. I had to line up, 6 ft apart and wait to be let in the store. They are only letting a certain amount of people in the store at a time. So surreal.


Going to the store makes me feel like a crazy person. I see people wearing masks and there's a panicky feeling, I hate it. The thing that bothers me the most is how the news changes day by day.

 Masks will keep you safe.
Now it doesn't matter if you wear a mask.
Don't hang out with anybody outside of your household.
We think Corona virus is transmitted by touch.
Now we think it's transmitted through the air.
You should sanitize your groceries when you get home.
No you probably don't have to worry about it.

All the back and forth makes it really frustrating to try and navigate day-to-day life. I just have to keep breathing, and not watching the news.
