I am sure Far Guy would agree with me...that I am a tad cranky.
My visit to the Dermatologist was a failure...biopsies of head, shoulder and chin ( betcha thought I was going to say knees and toes). Uffda. The chin one was something she called a pearl...and she doubts it is cancer. For the others we await the pathology report. Since taking all the biologics for Rheumatoid Arthritis...skin cancer is popping up all over.
Our town is changing, one of the grocery stores is closing. It was a store I only went into a few times a year...because the produce department smelled rotten all the time and the meat section had a strange odor.
One of the restaurants is closing. We went there once in awhile for breakfast. Since covid they have been closed Tuesdays and Wednesday.
Walmart did an entire remodel...I have not been inside Walmart since last Fall...I just order groceries to be picked up. Who knew...new floors...stuff stacked higher than a very tall person can reach...nothing is where it used to be. I went inside for Aileen's Clear glue...they don't carry it anymore or they moved it so far I never found it...Elmer's tough glue will have to do. It remains to been seen if it works as good as Aileens. I complained at the self check out when the gal there asked if I found everything...yum...NO. She said she was sorry but many things have been discontinued. Oh well...I am a Walmart Plus member so I get free shipping...so if Fed X has to deliver stuff a couple of times a week...
Then...get this...I noticed on Facebook that one of the small Mom and Pop restaurants in a really small town nearby was bought by a honest to goodness Chef. I saw their ad...it said half price dinners $60.00 I thought wow then half price would be $30.00 alrighty then. I went to the website...the regular price is $120.00 per person, they have two seatings a night and you should make a reservation with a deposit of $20 per person. The menu...lots of fancy stuff that I would not eat anyway...well maybe the brownie for dessert! This restaurant is located just off a highway that is going to be under construction all Summer. So much for fancy...then again maybe people will show up in limo's from Fargo and Minneapolis/St. Paul. I can just see ladies in heels walking through a road construction zone.
Needless to say I rarely spend $120 a week for groceries...so those prices are out of my comfort zone.
Other small town rumors: The old bowling alley was demolished last Fall and a new building is being built in it's place...it may or may not have event rooms and pizza. That makes four pizza shops in town. The Furniture Store in town that has been having a moving sale for a couple of years is moving into a different building...and the event rooms there may or may not be used. A new Ice Cream shop may open...that makes four ice cream shops in town not counting Dairy Queen. One eatery downtown may or may not have caused a whole family to have food poisoning. As far as I know there are no new auto parts stores slated to open...perhaps the max has been reached with four. So if you need auto parts, pizza or ice cream you should be able to find some in town....oh yes and candy...but there are only three candy shops to choose from.
