So today we have shopped online but most of the food we ordered was unavailable. So we took a trip to Aldi and managed to get meat, chicken and cat food. Most products are being limited now. There are distribution shortages of staff due to Covid.
There's a four hour queue to get tested or one can do a Rapid Antigen Test at home, but there's a shortage of tests and it's very difficult to get one. People who can't get tested are isolating and missing out on work just in case they are positive.
Our Prime Minister suggested that as most Australians will test positive soon so he told us to make sure we have paracetamol aka Panadol on hand so that we can manage symptoms at home. (Lotsa luck with that one!) So people went out and stripped all pharmacies and supermarkets of all brands of paracetamol.
To top it all off for me is that once again, my antidepressants haven't made it off the wharves. They don't know when they will be available again. So it's lucky that I have extra Panadol on hand for my fibromyalgia and an extra box of antidepressants. I am so grateful to the Proverbs 31 wife in scripture who was always prepared and laughs at the time to come.
A past Prime Minister of ours once famously quoted that life wasn't meant to be easy. You can say that again.
Big hug as you struggle through this time in Australia.
