Lockdown (& Shopping) Life Lately
After being good about not shopping much this year, I gave in to Black Friday sales.

Hello from Day 239 of shelter in place. It’s been a while.
It’s been awhile since I’ve written a shopping diary. I just haven’t bought that much this year. When I set out with the goal of a low-buy year for 2020 back in December, little did I know that all this (gestures all around) would be happening.
Hello from week 19-going-on-20 of lockdown. Things continue more or less the same in my household with both of us working from home. We make weekly trips to the grocery store and farmers market.
Hello from week 7 of sheltering in place here in San Francisco. Just thought I’d write a little update post to get my brain working.
Wow, what different times we are living in since I last posted in early March. We are now in the midst of a global pandemic. Here in San Francisco we’ve been sheltering in place for the second week.
Oh hey there. I haven’t posted much lately because it’s been surprisingly busy work-wise. The upside to a lot of work, though, is that I haven’t had as much free time to think about shopping.
2019 marks my third year of trying to shop more ethically and sustainably. I look back over the year at the numbers — and the lessons I learned this year.
I’m writing this post later in the month than I usually do because I wanted to see if my Black Friday fashion buys made the cut. But, I’m still waiting for some of them to arrive. So, never mind. Onward.
A hazard of writing a blog about stuff, even ethically-made stuff, is that sometimes I influence my own damn self. While I was putting together my annual Ethical Black Friday & Cyber Monday list, of course I started browsing. So many tempting things!
