Good Afternoon! It's sunny, breezy, and 50 degrees this afternoon, a beautiful day in the neighborhood as Mr. Rogers would say! I had to go to WM this morning for something I forgot on my last trip and I am pleased to say there were two longer checkout lanes with checkers in place! I was so happy! I went for my second COVID shot and so far so good, I feel fine. *fingers crossed* I visited with a friend who is wintering in AZ a couple days ago and she said they were told to swing their arm around to get the vaccine moving through their system faster, and to drink extra water. This morning another volunteer went in with me and she said someone told her to do the chicken dance and drink extra water. Bob offered lunch by the lake so we did a drive through from Hardee's. Most of the ice is gone and the geese are returning. The guys came to fix the seals around the garage doors this afternoon so another thing to cross off the list. Our local newspaper just printed the latest vaccine update and ONLY 40% of the local packing plant employees opted to take the vaccine shots. How STUPID is that since they are responsible for our being a hot spot. I would think the company would mandate they have it unless their doctor wrote an excuse not to.
Ceejay, I’ve been getting calls on my cell phone lately but never a message. I try to take the landline with me when I sit down, then press “talk” and “off” so it won’t go to the answering machine. I thought they would quit after the election but no such luck. Iowa is now open except it seems like the small chain restaurants are still drive through or carry out only. Our favorite “dining” restaurant still isn’t open because they lost most of their employees and can’t hire anybody. They also do carry out and delivery but it’s just not the same. Our positive COVID numbers are slowly on the rise again.
I have the gift shop money to count so guess I will get that done. Hope you are enjoying a nice day and have a good weekend!
