If the peskies are in Florida, they love to talk to me and brag about their weather. Even now, when it’s 13 freaking degrees on a day I wanted snow — they made sure to send me a photo of what they got and I didn’t.
With the holiday behind us, I’m feeling more down in the dumps than I have in a good long while. I really look forward to Christmas, and then we always have a Disney trip booked to look forward to right after. This year, there’s no Mickey in my immediate future. Not gonna’ lie… I’m feeling pretty blue. 🙁
I know things will get better and figure we’ll make it there late 2021. Still, it’s depressing… and I’m just not one to get down over much of anything. I’m the one with plan B and C for back-ups — but there’s simply no back-up COVID plan other than having toilet paper and Clorox wipes. Isn’t it a crazy time?
This is the first year in the last 14 (or 15) I haven’t went with Perry to see his family on Christmas Day. Instead, this year he cooked on his new Blackstone and probably got frostbite on his ears. I did the prep in the warm kitchen and figure that’s fair.
I hope more people (including me) don’t get the Rona after the holiday. I wasn’t around anyone other than Ben, Colette and Perry (the usual trio) but noticed on Facebook a whole lot of people celebrating with large groups. I also noticed a whole lot of other people like me — just spending time with immediate family. I’m sure looking forward to the time we can celebrate the birth of Jesus with all our loved ones.
And finally, Mom spent her time in the ER this evening after injuring her arm. She’s ok, but I think Carl is ordering a couple cases of bubble wrap. I’m still trying to convince him to get one of those inflatable sumo wrestling fat suits instead. 😉 Her ER doc did say he thought they would have the vaccine available to them by late January. Who knows how soon people under 65 years-old and not an essential worker will be able to get one.
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-75.8 (down); Jackson Co – 81.4 (down) — 8.19% infected (up); Florida 52.8 (up); Nevada – 70.9 (down)
TIL (today I learned): There was only one episode of Seinfeld that did not feature George. Jason Alexander threatened to leave the show if the writers ever turned in another script that excluded his character.
