OMG - someone who enjoys food shopping at this time! @Snowie 😄 At least, the "by yourself" part...
Yes, I crave being outside in nature, among green living things.

@NatureLover sorry you didn't take your sleeping tablet at the right time. Hopefully is doesn't mess with your routine too much.
I'm ok

Thanks, Lee...
<speaking gently> I don't think you're really OK...you've said a few times that you're never really OK... I think it's more a matter of you being safe...I hope you are safe?
