More Protests

This evening we went to dinner at Silver. While eating, a group of protesters started a protest across the street from the restaurant. They were very peaceful and didn’t stop cars or get in the road. They waived their signs and shouted their words and were fine.

I wore a new mask today. I’m not sure I like the fit and the little air holes on the sides. I think they could let the virus in. I’ll have to do some research about this kind. Also we have started seeing these menu signs. You have to pull the menu up on your phone. They are no longer handing out menus because of the virus. There are lots of adaptations to life with this virus.

Protests

There have been a lot of protests lately for the Black Lives Matter movement. We didn’t think we’d see much of it happening in our area. However, we went out to dinner this evening (sitting outside because of the pandemic) and saw some damage at our local CVS. We didn’t see any protests, just the aftermath of it. I guess they boarded up in anticipation of the protests. It’s a little scary to think this is happening in our area and during a pandemic.

New Things

We’ve had some bad luck lately. Earlier this week we got notification that there was a leak in our bathroom that was dripping into the bathroom below us. So we had to have a plumber come in today to figure it out. Turns out we needed a new toilet. The wax ring was supposedly leaking and the toilet was too old to fix. Luckily they had one on the truck and were able to fix it pretty quickly.

Last weekend our refrigerator stopped working. The top park was freezing everything to extremes and the lower part wasn’t cooling at all. So we got online and found out that Bray and Scarf was letting people shop with an appointment. We made an appointment for Sunday. We put our masks on and went. There were only two other customers in the store. We were able to buy a new fridge. It was delivered today while the plumber was fixing the toilet. The fridge was a bit wider than the space for it. One thing we didn’t do was measure the space. SO…I had cut a half inch off the countertop and take the molding off at the floor so it would fit. It’s a tight fit. It’s SO close to the wall. I’m just glad it’s done.
