A round of No 'Rona for my friends!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed they don't close the schools or go back to online for a few weeks.
At the same time, I'm thinking of rescheduling some things from next week to a few weeks out, as I'm hoping for the quick surge/quick slope to Omicron rollercoaster.
Hmmm, I'm really craving poached eggs over hash this morning but not sure what I've got that's I can make a decent hash out of. "I'll make a hash of it!" implies that fucking it up is the proper approach so maybe I'll root around in the crisper.
Happy gnu ears all!
I also skippy-skipped through a bunch of posts, but enough to feel fairly caught up. Gonna do better in 2022!
I watched Consuela's off-road towing video, which was wonderful -- nice to see a dicey situation resolved with attention to safety. Reminds me of a guy I know who retired from the Navy to become a backcountry EMT -- his wife remarked that while he was an adrenaline junkie, at least he channelled it in a useful manner.
At work (assisted living) we've had a couple Covid cases, including two direct coworkers of mine who had to go home to quarantine in the middle of Thursday! We're testing twice a week until there are no new cases.
Good news: I made that hash.
Today seems to want to be particularly dreary. It's that post-holiday hangover times the Sunday before work.
Happy new year, all!
Good news, Dana! Apparently no one I was at church with on Christmas Eve has covid, which is amazing to me.
Timelies all!
Today it was grey and 60 degrees. It's supposed to start snowing tonight, and continue through the morning. Oh, goody.
Happy New Year, longtime peeps! I love you all (tempted to go into Bilbo speech rn, but I don't have the brainpower to recall correctly--madness). We have finally thawed and begun to melt out of the +/- foot of snow we've had just sitting around looking pretty since Christmas Eve. Of course higher temps are accompanied by 30mph winds gusting to 65mph, but hey, as long as it's not falling the mad monkey marimba band in my shower is quiet enough for me to sleep. Not having a job to go to means theoretically I can sleep anytime. Which right now my little bear-brain is interpreting as sleep alla time. Mmm sleep. I do note the daylight is increasing by the day, which, yay! Other than that, no news from here. Which, given the givens, is good.
My cousin Jay died this morning. If yall could send ~ma and vibes out to his family.
I don't know all the details of what happened with his decline. Every time mom and I tried to talk she didn't have privacy or was just worn out from talking about it. I think a will to love played a role in his decline. When he was in a coma everyone said he wouldn't want to be in the situation he was.
I hadnt seen Jay in decades and frankly when we were kids he often bullied (or tried to bully) me and I thought he always trying too hard to be...tough. But he was always kind and loving towards Mom.
Mostly I'm sad for his son and my aunt and his former step daughters and all the people who loved him and liked him.
Out of 8 first cousins Jay is the 3rd to die, all under the age of 50.
That's just awful, askye. I'm so sorry.
