Same thing has happened here with many of our stores due to the pandemic

I also love this nostalgic setting with outdoor lights. Once finishing my garden I’m going to paint the fence and then add white led lights. It is certainly worth the effort.I treated myself to outdoor lights on a string for the screened-in porch. I’ve always loved the cozy, romantic look of fairy lights and I’m tired of waiting around for someone to read my mind and put them up for me! So I’m doing it for myself

Oh, I can understand why. I stopped in the Hendersonville store a couple of times and it was the biggest collection of frumpy over-priced items I've ever seen. Both times, I was the only customer in the store. I wouldn't have even done that but it's next to a great antique store that I enjoy.

I'm going to do nothing today. That's what I did yesterday, but I didn't get it finished.....
It will be sad if the only thing left when the smoke clears is Walmart....OMG....

This is our concern too about our supermarkets...It will be sad if the only thing left when the smoke clears is Walmart....OMG....
We've lost so many stores this last 14 months, including department stores which have been trading for 250 years
I have a feeling this pandemic is gonna bring our mall to it's financial knees. I haven't seen but one article about a local restaurant that was forced to close. One new one had just opened and I think they may have already closed. They didn't even get a chance to open their doors I don't think.

Yeah. After we got home I googled it and saw their story. Amazon is carrying some and a few other sites. Ebay, etc.
We lived in a town along the Cottonwood river and over the years before the Dam was built we had several bad floods in town.Got a lull in the rain. Went down to check the creek up close. Still rising, and more rain coming.

Some stores/restaurants that I know of were already barely making it and destined to fail, IMO. Not necessarily the fault of Covid that they went down. Probably there will be tax benefits for those that closed in the past year.
Going to my car dealer this morning to finalize the details for my wheelchair accessible Mercedes.
Later this afternoon the deaf/blind lady who's helping my girlfriend learn braille will be coming over for dinner (we're all fully vaccinated) to celebrate Walpurgis Night which is a tradional celebration to welcome spring in Sweden. Normally we have big gatherings where we light large bonfires but that's all been cancelled this year due to Covid.

Backfrom the car dealer and now I have a delivery date for my new car - second half of June. Then all I’ll have to do is learn how to drive it. Looking at the main control screen I think I’ll need a pilot’s license 
This will give you an idea of what the ”cockpit” will look like with my electric chair in position

That car is amazing Gloworm. Good luck with it. Would you consider an even swap with my Kia?

They brought the nest thermostats out, put it on, set it up, it worked, and they left. Ten mi utes later furnace came on amd wouldn’t shut offRight now, in real time, I am drying the towels, washing my muddy clothes from yesterday, and watching Handmaidens tale on Hulu. Another hour I will start my morning routine, take shower and medicine, put Bella out, make my breakfast, watch tv while I eat, go for my walk, and start working in the garden. Hopefully I can take Bella to walk with me. Depends on her attitude.
Yesterday the HVAC got fixed and the AC installed. They were the dirtiest workmen I had ever used. Leaving hand prints all over the house, tracking dirt in. Really had to clean up after them. But, a huge plus, they started at 8 am and finished at 7:30 pm.
I had to clean and scrub everything after they left with Lysol spray which kills the virus. Opened four windows to air the house out, they wore masks inside and social distance was maintained. We are both vaccinated, of course. They had three teams working at our house.
The nest thermostat was defective. I have a temporary thermostat and they will bring the new nest tomorrow. This company did not ask for a down payment and said they get paid when the job is done. Since the job is not yet done, I still have not been asked for payment. I will pay when the thermostat has been replaced.
. Tried everything. Called company, a new guy came out in about an hour. Tested everything and a short on one of the wires in the new wire they pulled down.Disconnected that wire, pulled a new wire down and connected it, set it up again. We shall see if it works.

I love fairy lights too! I have them in my kitchen as well as a small Christmas tree that I keep up all year (but don't turn the lights on all the time, just when it is gloomy or I'm gloomy).Today is stock-up, clean-up, cook-up-a-storm day.
also I treated myself to outdoor lights on a string for the screened-in porch. I’ve always loved the cozy, romantic look of fairy lights and I’m tired of waiting around for someone to read my mind and put them up for me! So I’m doing it for myself

Today I WILL finally get to my laundry. Yesterday I worked on kitchen cupboards most of the day. But they look amazing now! And I did not have to get rid of even one thing.

Sending positive thoughts your way Lewkat. (((Hugs)))
My husband went through radiation and chemo for lung cancer on the right lung. Just had his PET scan last week and we go for the test results today.
