It's Sunday again, and it's time to plan for the week. I'm thinking less and less about cooking elaborate meals, and I had planned to go to Fairway in Red Hook to buy the weekly order. In mid-morning, I set out to find my car, which I had last seen on Friday morning. I walked down the street, near the park, and it took longer than I thought it would to find it. When I got there, my remote lock system did not work, so I turned around and walked home. My husband reminded me that I could have used the key, which would have disabled the alarm.
On the walk home, it dawned on me that I wasn't going to be able to use the car today at all. There was a huge breast cancer awareness event across the street from our house and there were thousands of people in attendance. Not only would parking be impossible to find, but there would be no place to park and unload the groceries. There were three huge buses parked in front of our house.
I went upstairs and my husband suggested Fresh Direct, and online delivery service. I had tried it about two years ago and wasn't completely satisfied with some of the prepared foods, but I decided to try it anyway. This way, I would be less tempted to buy things that I really didn't need. It took me about an hour to find everything I needed and to further plan out 10 lunches and 5 dinners for the week. We really don't like the Fresh Direct trucks because they clog up the streets and the generators are loud, but on this occasion, it seemed like the best thing to do. The beauty of it is that they will deliver the boxes and bring them up the steps for me.
It's a little more expense, but once in a while, why not?
