Trying to get simple groceries items like yeast is super hard to come by. At least there is flour now. I don’t really need them right now since I rarely bake anything.
I do miss eating in restaurants but for now I can still order stuff.
I’m trying really hard not to spend any more money in case the government decides they don’t want to pay unemployment anymore. Mostly non essentials like new games. Funny enough I was already planning quitting my job for full time student at the local University. Except the next semester is still months away and I only got enough to carry me until then.

I ordered some tea from China at the beginning of this month, but it’s still stuck in China due to reduced shipping capacity and stuff like medical supplies being prioritized.

What type of tea? My husband is under orders to bring me a couple of different types as well. I wish he was visiting Hangzhou this time, because I’d really like some dragon well.

Love Ming Qian Dragon Well. So good! It’s definitely one of the things I miss most about living in Hangzhou.
I went to visit my friends last summer, and one surprised me with 500g from her family’s tea fields. Amazing, but it only lasted us a few months.

By the way, I signed up for the karate club regardless of the lockdown, and it turned out they do weekly training sessions via skype. 
Had my first one on Thursday, and it worked quite well.

Lots off booze and threesome should solve the problem …

I’m revisiting past life declarations.
“I’m such a pasta lover, I could eat only carbonara and spaghetti bolognaise for the rest of my life!” No, I really couldn’t.
“I wouldn’t mind if I only ate ION almond chocolate forever!” Yes, I really would.

When we get back to work I’ll have to once again wake up early to get ready and commute, not just transport to the couch.
Summer in the Greek public transport is not a happy experience.

I’m the person that reads instruction leaflets, instructions on packaging, receipts etc (hate me later).
Now we throw away at the door anything that isn’t absolutely crucial to get inside the house, I feel robbed.

I had a good laugh today when I read this German article about tourism in Mallorca, and I think it’s worth reviving this thread (translation below):
Stefan ist enttäuscht. Er steht zusammen mit fünf Freunden an der Uferpromenade der Playa de Palma, alle tragen knallrote T-Shirts - ein Junggesellenabschied. Eigentlich war ein Besuch der Bier- und der Schinkenstraße geplant. Doch die Lokale dort sind seit anderthalb Wochen dicht. “An der Playa selbst dürfen sie aufmachen”, sagt der Tourist. “Nur an der Bierstraße selbst dürfen sie nicht aufmachen. Das finde ich schlimm.”
Stefan is disappointed. He’s standing with five of his friends at the promenade of the Playa de Palma, they all wear t-shirts in a bright red - it’s a bachelor party. Originally, they had planned on visiting the “Beer Street” and the “Bacon Street”. But the bars there have been closed for one and a half weeks. “Directly at the Playa itself, they are allowed to open”, the tourist says. “Only at the Beer Street itself they are not allowed to open. I think this is awful.”
While in other parts of the world… I mean, just look at the US. But Stefan here has it really bad.

I was told by a friend that she was thinking of going for a short trip to an island or something, but hotels only change sheets when you check out and you literally have to chase the server to get a second serving in breakfast buffet, so she just stayed in Athens. Too much hassle.
On the other hand, people in tourism opened up and expect at least some customers, otherwise they will be in debt hard.
I don’t know what is my opinion in this anymore, if things are open then they should be open-open, but then it’s hard to social distance, but if people can’t visit why even open? I’m confused. 
Poor Stefan, I can maybe understand him a bit, is he supposed to pay tickets to go somewhere and not be able to do anything? And the regulations, this bar is ok but that one isn’t. Regulations don’t make sense.
Or, he didn’t have to get a crazy bachelor party (booze+redacted), the idea the groom’s life ends when he gets married is so outdated, ugh.

Agreed - I always find myself having to consider whether it’s worth getting in the argument when people refer to wives as “ball and chain” or talk about how I should wait to get married because then it’s all over. Like, how sad is their marriage if that’s how they feel? Or is it just some misogynistic joke that they think is still funny? Probably both, I suppose.

Weeeeell, some of them “worked hard” to be in a tough situation right now. As an island dweller there are two categories of tourist shops that I do not feel any particular pity towards:
group a) the fellows that have the mentality “hey we already got customers coming every year, we do not need to get any better or advertise or fix any streets/buildings or even clean up the town or attract a new target group”
and group a) the fellows that have the mentality “locals can go jump in a well and drown. We are exclusively after the money of tourists”
Their common axis is that there is no need to invest ANY money in the place their business resides (as if the tourists are not coming to an island DUE to the island itself and its natural beauty/merits, but they fly half the way across Europe just to have the priviledge to eat at “Giorgo’s traditional taverna” 
there are some days that the owners of such places seem to honestly think so ) and they are essentially in the business for the cash-grab.
There are two “tourist oriented villages” like that near my town and they are both tanking hard this season.
Meanwhile, another village that works with locals as well as tourists and it is open “all year round” has its shops filled with quite a satisfactory amount of customers even on a Monday night, which is impressive in the corona-virus era.
Who would have thought that is a local is used to visiting a place/shop/tavern during the winter, will keep visiting it during the summer too, eh ? 
Or, he didn’t have to get a crazy bachelor party (booze+ redacted )
I cannot resist asking why would you redact “bacon” ? 
Like, how sad is their marriage if that’s how they feel?
Most marriages tend to be sad after some time (the list of possible problems that can arise is not trivial), so even if the whole ordeal and jokes around it seems outdated, that doesn’t mean that for a lot of people (regardless of their sex) a marriage really ends up becoming a situation they were not really equiped to handle before they ventured into it.

That’s true in almost anything in life, but it’s only men that treat women like a death sentence (when it’s not at all uncommon the opposite).
