Went grocery shopping this morning and picked up everything we wanted, however some people are starting to ignore the 2mt rule.

I went out yesterday to get gas for the mower. Didn't bother with a face mask, as it's a rural station and in 14 years, I've never seen more than one other car there. With pay-at-the-pump being the standard here, no need to interact with anyone.

It's a five-minute drive to the station, and there's a garden center along the way. The garden center (which has not been closed at all during this, just limited to curbside service) was absolutely overflowing, and I could see through the greenhouse that people were literally shoulder-to-shoulder, like a disco.

Also, in that five minute drive time, I must have passed 30 cars or more going in the opposite direction. Bumper-to-bumper. We're supposed to be doing a slow opening here, but I think people are ignoring it pretty blatantly in my area.

A 14g box of raisins contains 46kcal, that is less than a biscuit right

There's no point is asking me. I wouldn't have a clue what a "kcal" is, never mind 46 of them!

Depends which biscuit. Generally yes but there are biscuits with less calories.

I am trying to convince myself that they are better for me than custard creams, choc digestives, bourbons etc...

You should do what I do - eat a couple of the biscuits, then eat a handful of healthy raisins to pay penance.

Definitely. Even better is 15 grapes = 30 calories. Unfortunately, dunking grapes in tea or coffee doesn't really work.

My point exactly, you can dunk custard creams in tea, and bourbons

Lol. I dunk my Anzacs and shortbread bikkies. Can't beat them.

Going to have to have wisdom tooth removal by a dental surgeon next week.. yay. It's growing sideways and causing an infection. Sigh.
I have medical PTSD and these things just cause so much triggers. I know it will not as bad as my hamster brain tells me, but I still feel extremely anxious. Also not looking forward to at least two days of custard and soup

Never got the hang of shortbread.

I had all four removed at one time. I was under general anaesthesia, so I didn't feel a thing. I was pretty sore for a week or two, but nothing terrible.

Make sure to do all the rinsing they tell you to do. You will heal faster.

I thought we only had two!

Maybe he's twice as smart. Considering that, I don't think I have any.
