Before I could just go for a quick run, now I have to time it so I'm not wasting gas going as often or my food isn't running out. Love living here so won't complain too harshly, have to adjust the best way possible. But I just get lazy and have to manage my food stash better to where if I want something I have it and don't have to make a special trip more than 1 a week.
I'm in the middle to Publix and Walmart Grocery on 466A one way and Winn Dixie the other way at LSL. Hubby teases me that if I miss a couple of days going to Publix, they are going to get a search party out for. LOL. I feel your pain.
