# 32 - Don't Like Deserted Shops

Sad Shopping Center

I carried my cellphone on my run yesterday morning. I took a detour to check out our neighborhood shopping center.
Picture
It was early, so I wasn't surprised to see the empty parking lot. It was sad, knowing that hours later, it would look pretty much the same.

Notices

I walked down the sidewalk and studied the notices on all the windows. We've lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years. We've used so many of these small businesses.

I looked at the sign on Dr. Closs's office. It made me miss our old pets, Molly and Figaro. Now is the time of all times, when I most miss having pets!

The nail and lash salons were closed. No surprise. The liquor store has not closed down. I guess that's essential. Curbside liquor shopping. Crazy.

Now Open

I'm sad for these businesses and all their employees. There are so many unknowns. How long will they need to be closed? Will they even be able to re-open?
Picture
The surprising news is, that right in the middle of all these pandemic closures, we have a new store opening. It's been over a year, since Randall's Grocery Store closed down. Now, Al-Rabba is opening, with foods from Pakistan, African, India... How about that!

At 7 am, I was able to peek at the clean grocery carts and look through the window, hours before opening. I'm so excited to have a nearby grocery store, with new and curious foods to try. But I'm staying away from stores right now. Guess I'll have to wait a while.

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!

    ​Navigating This Mess!

    The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016.
