this happens now – in the year of 2020

Dec 18, 2020

Today on Facebook I read a post asking for prayers. The post was from a son needing prayers for four family members. He said his Dad would likely not pull through. The other family members weren’t doing great either and a couple were being moved to ICU with a variety of issues.

My 2019 brain thought it was a car accident most likely. My 2020 brain realized the family all has COVID-19. 🙁

While so many are gaining weight during the pandemic, Dharma has been on a diet. She has her girlish figure back, you guys! Wish I could say the same for myself.

Dharma post pandemic diet

She needed this nap after an exciting ‘house guarding‘ experience that started with a short siren whoop. I could hear Christmas music playing loudly outside before I got to the door to see it was a firetruck decked out with flashing Christmas lights.

There were several cars following behind — one with a kid that shouted at me… so I shouted back. 🙂

How severe the pandemic is in the places where people I care about are located…
Daily NEW COVID-19 cases (7 day moving average):
Indiana-90.2 (up); Jackson Co – 108.2 (tad down) — 7.77% infected (up); Florida 47.9 (up); Nevada – 79.3 (down)

TIL (today I learned): The Tin Man in “The Wizard of Oz” movie cried chocolate syrup. Actual machine oil didn’t show up well in film.
