Okay, it did post, so another Apopka business has closed, and is empty. The clothing shop, Rainbow, that was in the old Apopka Land Regional Shopping Center. I went to buy some new hoop earrings. Maybe DeSantis shut them down for all of the rainbow clothing they sold, LOL.

My stitches have been removed, yesterday. The wound is looking much better, and is healing fast, considering I am a diabetic. The horizonal wound near my hairline has a way to go though. Surgeon said it should smooth down in a month. Still has some swelling and discoloration, but much better. Now Trump has been put on notice to be arrested, and I have drank all my beer up, depressed over this surgery,. and waiting on them to decide what to do with Mr. Trump. I think DeSantis is behind it, yeah, I do He is a snake. So Disney had a plan to fight back DeSantis, before DeSantis even knew it, wow, this is so cool. I couldn't believe Disney wasn't going to fight back DeSantis, but now I know why! I love it!

Read about cities in Florida going broke on the internet. Check it out. Miami and Jacksonville are so in trouble, and can't pay their debts. So extremely in debt! Tampa is doing great, and has a surplus, as well as Orlando. This should make city councils all over Florida think twice about wasting money and spending, spending, spending like money grows on trees.

I had just read that the Lake Apopka Loop was going to be close indefinitely until further notice, then see it is going to be open this weekend? That was fast.
