yeah I know you did not ask!
I don’t want to say that I am old, but I remember a time when all supermarkets had bag boys who carried your groceries out for you. And boys is correct. It was never a female, and they were generally young. If you had only 1 or 2 bags of groceries they would carry them out and put them in your car. If you had a buggy load they wheeled that out for you, and again loaded them into your car. People may have tipped them, but I don’t remember my mother ever doing so.
For various reasons, today for the first time, I used curbside pick-up. It was from the pharmacy at the Sam’s Club in Chesterfield valley. Hmm, I thought as the member of the Curbside Team handed me a bag full of drugs, COVID has brought back bag boys. Of course this time it is not restricted to males or the young.
The beginning of last week Señora became very ill. We thought she was having an attack of sinusitis or possibly the flu. A few days into it, she lost her sense of taste. Despite having had both doses of the Moderna vaccine, she tested positive for COVID. After a miserable weekend she had the infusion treatment Monday, and she is improving. She remains very fatigued and is still missing the flavor of food.
