Outdoor only.</p> <p>However - it is just quite stunning how empty and quiet this city is. As we live in suburbs, which are normally pretty quiet, the silence and darkness of a city just barely coming out of lock down was more shocking than I anticipated. Locals say it's positively buzzing compared to what it was like in March at the beginning.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change/page/2#post-2127081 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 17:47:22 +0000 JAileen 2127081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, that’s good news. &nbsp;Does she go back when her tendonitis has healed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change/page/2#post-2126773 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 13:49:11 +0000 cindysmith 2126773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We DID get a 4th employee in produce. But that's not all! A girl from dairy has tendonitis and can't lift heavy objects so she's in produce right now too. We are STILL scrambling to keep up with demand, but it's only hectic now instead of brutal. I will totally take it and put it in the win column </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change/page/2#post-2125951 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 21:38:07 +0000 Angie 2125951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>, it's wise to stay as safe as you can.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125936 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 19:53:24 +0000 JAileen 2125936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, thank you. &nbsp;It was a HUGE relief.</p> <p>Angie, that’s actually good to hear. &nbsp;I wonder when people will feel comfortable. &nbsp;I am almost in the high risk group, and my husband is in it, so I’m in no hurry to get back to normal. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125927 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 18:50:09 +0000 Angie 2125927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>&nbsp;and <b>Andrea,</b> I was in the downtown Seattle shopping area &nbsp;yesterday with Greg and Sam (6 blocks walk from where we live). Nothing is open, and there are no signs of re-opening despite the green light for a modified phase 1. Everything is boarded up to prevent window damage and looting while the protests continue. So even though things <i>can</i> open now with very, very restricted capacity - retailers, businesses, and restaurants are staying closed for longer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125864 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 13:20:00 +0000 Jane 2125864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, this is really super news.

I found out on Tuesday that I am now vested in my company's pension plan.

We moved into a Modified Phase 1:&nbsp;</p> <p><i>"King County (the city of Seattle) can move to a “modified Phase 1, in which restaurants can offer indoor dining at 25% of capacity and outdoor dining at 50% capacity. In-store retail can operate at 15% capacity, barbers and salons at 25% capacity and professional services like accountants and attorneys can return to their offices at 25% capacity"&nbsp;</i></p> <p><i>"It also allows outdoor gatherings of five people or fewer, but that guideline has been essentially ignored in recent days, with public health officials offering their support of the mass protests that have brought thousands of people together"&nbsp;</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125598 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 21:21:48 +0000 Janet 2125598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s a relief for sure! </p> <p>Nice to see all the good news.</p> <p>Let’s see... </p> <p>I gave my first ever Zoom presentation to a photography group of about 50 people the other night. My topic was Frame of Mind: Creativity, Perception, and Mental Focus in Photography — a nice departure for the group to hear about mindful, contemplative approaches to photography rather than the usual technical how-to talks that seem to fill speaker series. It was well-received and I got lots of nice feedback afterward. </p> <p>Oh, and today in our little container garden on our patio, I spied our first pepper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125572 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 18:28:04 +0000 Angie 2125572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All this good news makes me smile :)</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, what a relief, and sending Ms. B healing thoughts and much love. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125567 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 17:51:02 +0000 JAileen 2125567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, congratulations on reducing your debt! &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Cindy, I hope the rumor is true. &nbsp;Fingers crossed!</p> <p>Brooklyn, what wonderful news! &nbsp;Poor Brooklyn in her conehead...</div><div><br /></div><div>Deb, I love chocolate cake. mmmmmmm</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125452 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 06:09:14 +0000 deb 2125452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, the Cheesecake Factory is on grub hub and you can order chocolate cake and carrot cake.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125436 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 04:19:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2125436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent news JA! The colonoscopy prep is awful!</p> <p>My dog had a lump on her face and my first thought, as with any lump, was cancer. It turns out it was a grass seed that had penetrated through her mouth. She had to have surgery to have it removed. It was migrating up her face. I’m sorry she had to have surgery (she just turned 9), but I’m SO glad it’s not cancer. She is recovering well. Best news. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125400 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 22:53:32 +0000 cindysmith 2125400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rumor has it we are getting a 4th employee in our produce department. That should make my job easier again.<br /> Saw the reiki healer today. Got told to be back at least once a week. What does the reiki healer charge? I perform odd jobs: organizing books, helping clear walking trails in the woods (Mollie LOVES those days), and matching up all the random tagless keys. I don't think it gets much better than that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125389 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 21:55:43 +0000 Anonymous 2125389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We should be able to have one of our cards paid off this week :)<br /> *depending on what the check engine light is for and how much the dentist and roofer charge* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125333 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 14:28:19 +0000 JAileen 2125333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, good for you! &nbsp;I wish my weight was where I wanted it. &nbsp;:(</p> <p>Kate, getting a good report on your mammogram is good news, indeed.</p> <p>Windchime, it must feel good, getting out and knowing your sheltering at home worked. &nbsp;</p> <div>Rachy, yes, parking - what a pain!</div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, our son left a couple of kettleballs in our shed. &nbsp;I used to watch him out the kitchen window, exercising with them. &nbsp;It looks like good exercise.</div><div><br /></div><div>Carla, thank you for reminding me it’s time to plant beans!</div><div><br /></div><div>Staysfit, your daughter sounds amazing. &nbsp;Good luck to your son.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125297 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 10:16:15 +0000 Staysfit 2125297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD sent me a picture of her grad school report card, (mom bragging moment)....all but one grade was an A+, the remaining grade was an A. &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;Also, DS just had his third in a series of interviews for a new job. &nbsp;He graduated only three weeks ago.....even if he doesn’t get the job, I am so happy that he made it to this stage of the interview process! &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125283 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 03:57:20 +0000 Carla 2125283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason, the beans I planted 4 weeks ago never came up. &nbsp;I replanted 10 days ago, and today saw the first signs of them breaking through the earth! &nbsp;All my ‘crops’ are up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-news-for-a-change#post-2125273 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 02:47:16 +0000 Suz 2125273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is definitely good news!!&nbsp;</p> <p>My good news: After 2 months of waiting, I finally got the kettlebell I ordered so I can resume my workouts more productively.
