A Whopping Nine Point One K.

It was time for supplies, my daughter and I geared for protective gears and headed to a nearby grocery. The rain was upon us, so the rain gear was fitting. Ha ha. But of course, it was still uncomfortable. The plastic clings to the skin. Doubled the supply purchase: ten cartons of milk, two packs of detergent, two fabric conditioner, two toothpastes, ten bars of Dove, two safeguard hand wash, the zonrox was limited to four, and so on and so forth. We used two trolleys, too. I was wondering how much we would pay as the carts slowly filled up. The tab showed a staggering PhP 9,100. I immediately thought about the potatoes that cost 97 pesos per pack and I took 3, and the papaya Tagalog that did cost a shocking 107 pesos. Oh well, it's either the pandemic inflation or you go hungry and just die. I consoled my self with the thought that my supplies would at least last a month. I have sky flakes and noodles for back-ups. I wouldn't have to troop to the grocery again soon. My daughter was oblivious. She was content with her fruit juice, and amazed at the wind and the rain like she's never known one. Glad she was home from the hospital.
