It’s been a low energy day. I sleep in late and take my time going through my usual routines. I don’t have anything scheduled for today, other than working on some job applications. There have been a few new job postings that might be worth pursuing, and I make some progress on previous ones.
There were some items missing in my SuperValu grocery delivery on Wednesday… not just out of stock, but things that I paid for that weren’t in the bags that were delivered. I think one of the totes must have not made it onto the truck, which is the first time that’s happened. I’ve placed a couple of calls into their customer support line, and they’re supposed to refund me for the missing items, but I’m still waiting on that. In the meantime, I stopped by some shops yesterday to pick up a few of the missing items. I have some leftover buttermilk from the turkey pot pie recipe I did earlier in the week, so I decide to make some Irish soda bread from scratch. I had made some last year for St. Patrick’s Day using yogurt and it turned out really good. The recipe with buttermilk results in a much wetter dough, and basically looks like a big splat on the baking pan. Despite my doubts, however, it turns out fine… it’s mostly just a sponge for butter and soup anyway.
I’m still waiting to receive the results from my follow up COVID test yesterday. Out of curiosity I was looking up information about other testing options, and according to the Ireland Health Service Executive (HSE) website, public testing is at “full capacity” and being prioritized for people with symptoms. People who have had contact with someone who has COVID are no longer getting tested, and instead, are being asked to self-quarantine as if they were infected.
