Strolling through the grocery together, masks and disinfectant in tow, is one of those exercises that help you realize you were meant for each other. You know like when you both unintentionally reach for the same jar of ice-cream or the same pack of hot-dogs, the smiles this brings we understand harbors pure love for one another; which we could see even through the multiple filtering face masks.
During this Covid Lockdown period, doing groceries was one of those essential services people did as an excuse to get out of being in the house all the time. Truth be told, our grocery Tru-Valu even provided a wonderfully efficient WhatsApp pickup service, yet we found ourselves having to make a grocery run at least once per week. Considering that we both are Essential Workers and weren't stuck in the house as much as other people, this was us basically living out our honeymoon activities going to a different restaurant every night given the circumstances. Except it wasn't the restaurant. It was the grocery. The same grocery. All the time. 😆 In local 'Trini' parlance, this is an apt moment for the use of the term "laugh or cry."
We made the best out of a cornered situation. Just like my friend Vish would say about him and his wife turning their Sunday evening Gas runs into a cool weekend drive. To cheat the saying a little, Love is in the eye of the beholder. Whether or not Kanye needs help finding Kim in any lifetime is debatable because of you know what. If you spend enough quality time with your significant other like we have there is naught to be found because you feel so connected and undivided, it's as if you've been together all of your lifetimes!

ReplyDeleteI'm from down the islands and even though the entire caribbean did well to keep the total number of cases down, there definitely were some "laugh or cry" moments. So happy for you guys that were able to turn these rides into some of the best memories of your life that you both would cherish forever
ReplyDeleteYour friend Vish sounds like a wise man. Nice way to keep a Sunday drive a cheap tradition!
