buckle up… here we go again!

Seymour Schools are going all virtual beginning after Thanksgiving break. That means Colette has tomorrow with her friends in an “at school” setting and that’s it. Who knows how long this will go on? Everyone can speculate — no one knows for sure.

WASH YOUR HANDS, WEAR YOUR MASK, DISTANCE 6-FEET APART, and PRAY.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

In addition to the above, I’m staying home. More than most… and as best I can. Know why? I’m not bulletproof. Neither are you.

Wearing a mask does not guarantee you won’t get COVID! If you think that washing your hands, keeping your distance, and wearing a mask is a sure thing and you’re 100% safe, you would be wrong. These actions DO REDUCE your exposure risk — but please, stay at home when you can.

5 BENEFITS OF STAYING HOME TO ESCAPE THE RONA

1. I’m eating more, cooking more, and trying new recipes.
   1. Alisa’s cookies didn’t last long (especially since Colette confiscated a bunch of them), so now I’m on store-purchased butter cookies. This leads to #2…
2. I’m exercising more.
   1. I have more time and fewer excuses. I also need to work off all the grub I’m eating.
3. I’m consuming more books in digital and audio formats.
   1. I may need a loan to pay for more audiobooks. I’ve listened to everything Amazon offers for free and have used up my Audiobook credits.
4. My dogs love the attention (and the cookies).
   1. My dogs are making me bat shit crazy but also consume a whole lot of time. They make sure I’m never bored.
5. Because I’m not out galivanting around, I know I won’t be involved in an accident.
   1. Healthcare workers are doing what they can and not able to do what they can’t… why even risk it?

How severe the pandemic is in the places where people I care about are located…

TIL (Today I Learned): The CIA revealed a “heart attack” gun in 1975. It’s battery operated and fires a dart of frozen water & shellfish toxin. The official cause of death would always be a heart attack. Read more here…
