We did the BOGO X-Large pizza deal from Northwood Pizza. It is kind of fun looking for different pizza places since we usually overly rely on Costco.

I went grocery shopping, this time at Ralphs again. The situation was somewhat better. There was no line to enter the store. There was no flour, toilet paper or rice vinegar (I know, probably not a staple for most people!) The checker told me they are no longer allowed to bag groceries.
n also had a Zoom meeting with his soccer team.

It seems that the guidelines regarding face masks are changing. Before the authorities were saying they are not helpful, and now California is recommending them when you are out in public. However, they are also warning people to leave the medical-grade masks for hospitals. According to the California Department of Public Health,
A cloth face covering may be factory-made or sewn by hand, or can be improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels.
Using this tutorial and scraps from my fabric stash, I whipped us up some masks.
