I'm seldom out of the house in normal times but one thing I have missed is Half-Price Books. As an author, you might think I'd hate a store that cheats authors of their royalty. The truth is I love the place. A silly place I miss is Dollar Tree. Yep, love browsing in that store. I can afford anything they sell. LOL I have a book of crosswords if I get in the mood for one (they're reported to be good for the brain). I listen to Pandora music as I write. I love live music but don't get to the Bass for concerts any longer. Used to love seeing James Taylor and others live but it's too expensive now days. I miss just strolling in Macy's or Penny's, but admit shopping online is so much easier for people with my lack of mobility.

It is going inside at the library and Lucky Dog Books. The only plus is the fact everyone quit pushing me to go places and get out of the house.
