Pier One was basically my #1 aspirational store for many many years. I loved nearly EVERYTHING in that place and could only rarely afford even the smallest tchotchke. I'm sorry to hear it's not doing well. I hope you come out of this OK.
Me, I'm skatin'. My employer, HUGE AEROSPACE COMPANY, is taking the first tentative forays into considering maybe letting some people go back in (some people, of course, never stopped, because you can't replace a fuel pump remotely). Conveniently, my department is planned to be the last to go in because we've cruised through this whole remote thing, aside from a few early bumps, with colors flying. I'm not the only one hoping that this means more of us will be able to work remotely more often with less pushback from the corporate muckity mucks (our actual boss, dear man that he is, is totally OK with it, but the corporation is snotty and fossilized about it). When I think about the reputation our group has for advanced thinking, this medieval attitude toward e-work is embarrassing.
My loved ones are all doing OK although a good friend's elderly mother passed away from COVID complications, in a nursing home (surprise). So as far as I'm concerned this could go on forever (except, obviously, for the harm it's doing to so many people).
