my plans got foiled yet again this morning. i had some time when it became clear i won't be availing of the seniors hour. it meant though that i can let myself indulge in a nice breakfast of egg white omelette with asparagus, tomato, and red onion, with whole wheat toasts and a scant slice of apple smoked old cheddar.
it was raining cows and elephants this morning when i woke up at 6 -- strong winds and a healthy dose of lightning and thunder. i am stubborn but i am not stupid. i wouldn't risk getting a cold for something i forgot already what i needed to buy.
we had a brief sunday service this morning as we all try to learn how to navigate this digital technology thing. the sermon was about Judas complaining that Mary could've used the money to buy the expensive perfume she washed Jesus' feet with, to help the the poor. it got me thinking. since the other day, every time i pulled sheets from my toilet paper, i pause and consider the amount of paper i was going to use. normally, i would pull like there's no end to the roll. but with others who couldn't find toilet paper or don't have the money to buy if there was some available. i feel guilty that i have a lot in my cupboard -- i buy this local brand that is recommended by my plumber friend but i only buy it when it's on sale. the packages i have, 4 of them, were all bought last september. when it is on sale, i would buy one or two packages of 9 jumbo rolls. my pause is caused by "guilt" that people are hoarding and others are desperate to find toilet paper and there i am with so many, and i am one of those who feel sorry for those who now cannot afford these basic everyday household item. tell me, should i feel guilty?
i promise not to post food photos again (for this month!)
--o0o--
i have cleared away my stuff on the dining table that i've worked on during the weekend and set up my other laptop which i use for office stuff. i'm ready for work!!
Your plumber will thank you for buying them when you saw them - so I don't think you need to feel gulity - not for an incidental buy. Brekky looks yummy - but like Jackie - I was wondering about the whites only in the omelette. :)
i got my handkerchiefs out! i usually just use loo roll, but now i think twice. . I too have been stocked up forever, havent had to buy any yet this lockdown.
Lovely looking brekkie Vikki. You have absolutely no need to feel guilty about a well considered purchase that was made before anyone had even heard of corona virus. As others have said if it would make you feel better you could always make a donation :)
So you caused the shortage LOL. Sounds like you are a smart shopper. Your food shot looks good, and I think taking good pics of food is much more difficult than people think. I see pictures of food and think to myself, I would never eat that unless I'm starving.
Oh, this looks SO good, making me really hungry right now ...but I can’t have breakfast yet because I’m doing the intermittent fasting thing... started it, because I put on a lot of weight when taking this mandatory medicines(5 yrs 😣) but my oncologist told me with my last check up in november that my bloodwork was amazing and whatever I was doing, just keep on doing it ... well, 1 more hour now 😉

If you know of a food bank, or neighbour in need, you could donate ( a roll not a square)
