I broke protocol today. Someone in the area was in desperate need of CBD juice, which he'd forgotten to buy before lockdown. He uses it for chronic back pain only. He's not a vaper, or a smoker for that matter.

So I met him in the parking lot of Spar - but I went shopping too, so that I could truthfully say that I had gone shopping if someone queried my presence. It was a very quick meeting. He pulled up next to me, I gave him the bottle through the window, and off he went. And I GAVE it to him - I didn't sell it.

Would u be willing to sell me ??? im really desperate
 
if anyone could help me it would make this stressful time so much easier
 
I went back to the pharmacy today, to see if the flu vaccine had come in yet. Zilch - and I was told that they doubt that they will get any. Great.

While I was there I thought that I may as well get a new thermometer, as I can't find mine. Just in case. I took the thermometer out of the box, turned it over and over but couldn't see a charging port. I asked the pharmacist how to charge it and she just burst out laughing. I'm just so used to charging everything!
 
Our local supermarket, Spar, has introduced a new system. One can Whatsapp your order and once it's ready, they phone you to collect. You park your car in designated parking bays and they bring your groceries to the car, along with the credit card machine. Cash is not allowed. I think it's a brilliant idea, as one doesn't need to go into the supermarket at all. Besides, the temptation of buying a chocolate while waiting in the queue is removed!!

That's how it starts. Few years later they make tv series about you.

Day 6
Got home past 6pm and probably got to sit in the office for 15min at most... crazy busy day.
We will be launching a massive screening and testing campaign around here tomorrow. A positive move.
Now I only want to sit and vape!
 
I agree! The last thing that I want is to be arrested as an example to others!!
I don't mind too much being arrested if I'm alone.
Car being impounded even is just material.
Wife will kill me if they impound the dog.

Echoing what @M.Adhir said
Thanks for helping us @Grand Guru
You are a champion

Agree! When I heard about that report my first reaction was dismay at the dog being impounded!
 
@Novo Boy Just a thought ... Clicks & Dischem are open and they even deliver, although they've asked people to shop responsibly. If you're craving nicotine, perhaps you could buy Nicorette (nicotine chewing gum) from them? Not sure if they're allowed to sell it now, but it's worth a try. If you can get it, get the flavoured ones - Mint or Fruit. The Regular tastes awful!!!!
 
I've been on the forum for most of this evening and it's been great. The forum is my happy place and my relaxing place. :h:

But I'd be even happier if some peeps would continue with our Vapers' Bedtime Stories - even if it's just a sentence or two.
Come on Guys 'n Gals - be a sport!

After the good rain last night , everything is fresh and clean in the garden , picked a few white roses and lavender to put at my Mom's ashes and photo , she would have been 99 today . There is no plans, depressed already and don't want to go read the latest news .
 
Don't even think of going surfing - unless it's on the Internet!

@ARYANTO No plans is a bad idea - you're going into a slump. Every night before you go to sleep, make a plan for the following day and stick to it. Even make a schedule for yourself and force yourself to stick to it. Don't think about it - just do whatever is on the schedule. Keep active physically and mentally. Doesn't matter what you do. Clean out cupboards; download audio books if you don't have real books at home. Stay away from the news for a day or two. Hold yourself together my friend.

Strength brother. Take comfort in the memories.
This too shall pass
