The Olympics are in full swing! NBC is broadcasting the events here and they seem to of taken over the total guide for programing on that station. Tina is glued to the set and is so excited when the ice skating comes on, the figure skating, the snow boarding and the skying. Also the tobogganing. Since she has to work, sleep and eat, she is recording it all and will spend her next day off watching it. Since she missed the news interview where they said that politics was half of the Olympics and sports the other half.
The other day we stopped in a small craft shop here to see if they did embroidering, or knew of anyone who did. Tina needs her name put on her Home Depot jacket as most everyone has one and they all look alike. She wants her name put on hers so she will know it is hers that she is wearing and not someone else’s. I guess there is a coat wrack that they hang their coats on or something. The lady said that she would check around and see if she could find someone. There are a lot of lovely things in that shop and it is fun to brows . Jewelry is a big item and so many people make lovely items I am sure sell well. There was some beautiful tote bags, purses, paintings, mosaic, photos and lots of other stuff. Not a great deal of any of it, but nicely displayed small areas of each. The prices are good and the lady that was there was very nice. I am sure we will go back.
I hope that the Covid epidemic goes away very soon and some sort of normality returns. To a degree I can understand people wanting to work from home, but not quitting a job to see if there is something out there that they might enjoy more or because McDonald’s pays more, etc. They are the same ones who, along with the rest of the population, moans about the empty shelves and the inability of not being able to get the items that they want or need. We are having a few problems getting the cat food that The Devi, Sierra, and His Highness, Milo prefer. They do like the dry food but prefer sharing a small can of Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Chicken Feast in Grilled Chicken Flavor gravy. They like this for breakfast and for dinner.
Us humans have a problem getting sugar free French Vanilla Creamora. But that is a small like, and I can easily drink my coffee black. We seem to be doing well with everything else. We have noticed the hike in the prices of everything and I doubt that will change for the better any time soon, if at all. Oh, yes, the truck drivers need to go back to work. They are begging for truck drivers, qualified, trained and ready to drive. We had one in Knoxville who had an wreck, killed a policeman, and destroyed several cars in the process. He was high on pot, had an expired LCD license, two tires on the truck were bad, one flat and one thread bare.. And a couple of other things. He had lost his license a year or so ago. The truck he was driving was a Knight Truck, but I believe he had just taken it without permission. It is a big mess. He was in court yesterday and I haven’t heard what all went on there, but am interested. Meanwhile the shelves are getting bare and supplies are sitting out in the gulfs, waiting to be unloaded and the warehouses are full, waiting for the truck drivers to come and carry the goods away.
Time to think about ending this and getting ready for the dinner, news and evening programs. Have a great rest of your day. Make it a happy, healthy, carefree, enjoyable and fun one.
