I woke up this morning to the news that Biden had been declared the president-elect. That is very good news even though I am generally a conservative Republican! I didn't vote for Trump the first time or the second time because he has acted like a lunatic from way before the idea of being president ever came to him. Hopefully now the country will unite behind Biden (I'm not a fan of his either but lesser of two evils and all that) and the country will experience some peace and stability that has been sadly lacking lately. I'm sure Biden's "to do" list is about a mile long, just to get the country back to where we were four years ago! So I wish him luck and hope all goes well between now and January. In other news...
...we had our first rain in 200 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even had to go stand outside in the rain just to remember what it feels like to be rained on (weird since I am from Seattle) but color me giddy when it started to drizzle.
...I went by our local store on my walk today and noted that the aisles look eerily similar to mid March! The news says this is happening at many places around the country. We are well set with food, bleach, toilet paper, etc. so we aren't worried about this situation.
...tf you or someone you know is a veteran, next Wednesday is Veteran's Day and there are lots of great deals for vets to take advantage of! We usually go to the free buffet for vets at the Southpoint Casino but I don't see how they could even fit that many people into the buffet with all of the social distancing happening now. We will see what happens...
...we got a call from hubby's family in Connecticut and several of them have tested positive for covid. Fortunately none are ill but they are all kind of freaked out because some are elderly, one is a doctor, and all have been taking precautions to avoid the virus and now they all have it! eeekkk
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
Peace is the thing we need now. I am glad you got rain. It would be strange not to be rained on at least once every week or two and usually many days. I have seen thin spots in the stores lately. I bought one more 48-pack of toilet paper even though I have plenty. Now, I cannot find pint freezer bags anywhere, so I will resort to Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI do miss the rain in Seattle a little. Come to think of it, we haven't seen pint bags either for a while.

ReplyDeleteYeah like higher unemployment and a large percentage of our jobs sent overseas.
Every company that can sends jobs overseas these days unfortunately, although there are some companies that have kept their factories in the US like Darn Tough, Weather Tech, and Fisher Space Pens which are some of my favorite companies!
DeleteHoping for peace, unity & a plan to get COVID under control! Also, we got rain here as well for the first time in close to 6 months. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteYep, covid is the biggest threat right now and the numbers keep increasing which is pretty scary!
