my recent scare is when I go to the grocery store. Not only are prices up, but so many things are out of stock where I am. My store and microwave are aged and I don't know if I should try and get replacements now or wait until they are totally toast! My friend just got her new dishwasher after waiting for over a year. I got a new washer and dryer about a year ago and but I got a bigger one than I planned on cuz they only had a grand total of 5 in stock. I had a choice between 3 sizes, huge, a bit less huge, and tiny, tiny. So this is our new norm for now, lack of store inventory and ever increasing prices. Thankful for my huge stash of fabric, thread, and now sewing machines!
