...Without Much Enthusiasm

So our hopes to resume normal life after being vaccinated will not be fulfilled. We had a taste of normalcy and now we have to be cautious again. Of course, I am staying at home tonight, New Years Eve. That's okay, I'm not a party person anyway.
I do have some bright carnations to show you. This is part of an arrangement our neighbors gave us.

This evening I picked up a small meal at a drive-through. The dining room at Wendy's is closed, apparently due to a shortage of staff. I read that one reason so many places cannot find enough employees is that many people retired during the pandemic. When you consider that many "baby boomers" are now in their 60s or 70s, it makes sense that they would retire rather than risk catching covid at work. If I were not retired already, I would have done so.
I hope all my friends are doing well. Please be careful. Best wishes for a good year in 2022!
I'm hopeful that 2022 will be a better year than 2021. Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHope the new year will be a better year than last 2 years. Take care and stay safe. Wishing you Happy and Healthy New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a while before things really improve, I'm afraid. Still, we must keep hoping ...

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
...and too many employers think that they can pay starvation wages !
ReplyDeleteTom's point above is well taken.
ReplyDeleteI am also disappointed that our summer freedom has gone. Now I don’t dare do else than grocery shopping. Sad. But let’s hope for better times in 2022.
ReplyDeleteHappy 22 to you!!
ReplyDeleteA Wendy's Sky!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems the tables have turned on the power between employees and employers. I could go back to work tomorrow if I wanted, I just don't want to do so.
That dark sky is quite dramatic.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHaappy New Year Karen!
