While I still haven't been able to do laundry, at least we managed to make a grocery run tonight. I had contemplated just trying to order groceries via Foodpanda or something, as it wasn't quite as crazy in the morning, but in the end, we remained determined to properly resupply. The mall wasn't too busy, but the supermarket was very well-stocked too. At least cabbage was ridiculously cheap - I stocked up as it's a good source of roughage and it keeps pretty well in the fridge. Tobie got a good amount of lettuce, and we're trying to extend their fridge life by immediately rinsing and drying the lettuce, and storing them in an alternate container. I bought a dedicated salad spinner last 8.8 to help with this, and we'll see if it actually extends lettuce life.
In terms of the weather, Tropical Storm Bualoi/Opong should be around Metro Manila by Friday night and out of the country by Saturday morning. That probably means my chances of sun-drying any laundry this week are next to none. I may have to do a priority load for things like underwear with the help of the dryer, but we'll see. I just feel uncomfortable with how full the laundry hamper is. My laundry efforts center around avoiding precisely that, but things can't be helped with the weather this week.
Lastly, I gave in and made a new Alpaka purchase after being severely tempted the other day. But instead of the new Zip Travel Wallet, what I actually ended up buying was the limited Japan Edition Flight Sling. It is essentially the same as my existing gray Flight Sling, but in a somewhat muted but still striking Moonlight Blue color. I recognize this is one of my most aesthetic purchases in my life, but I really like this more than my current gray one, and it still has the same high-visibility orange interior lining that I also like. I will try to sell my existing one when the Japan edition arrives in order to make up for this - that and the fact I had enough rewards points for a $50 voucher. Anyone want to get on board the Akpaka train with me? hahaha
On that note, there are actually a number of items that I need to sell, including Transformers I accidentally got duplicates of, and some board games that we either own two of or are hardly playing. Will probably offer to friends first before going full Marketplace, maybe?
