I have been more nostalgic and reflective as of late than I typically am. I had a talk with a friend who is in the same boat. She blames it on the pandemic.
My region will have many restrictions eased as of Monday. It has been in lockdown for over two months. Yesterday, I went into a different part of the province where stores were open again. I didn't have any inclination to visit them.
It is one change that I have noticed since this pandemic started. I don't have a desire to go shopping and browse. I like curbside pickup. I look at what I want online, pay either online or at the store, and pick up my order. Done!
I simply get groceries and items at the drugstore. I also get takeout.
I haven't been to major stores, such as Walmart and Costco, since this pandemic started. I don't feel comfortable in them.
Maybe the urge to visit major malls and large stores will come back once we are all vaccinated. Right now, visiting them isn't a priority.
