I wish you all a happy and healthy Tuesday, 27 December 2022. Today is the 2nd birthday of Lily and Rosy von Floof, daughters of Freya the Morkie and Snow the Hawaiian Pomeranian. The girls are currently sitting with my wife as she watches a docu-drama on the Oxygen channel about a nursing home serial killer. Always the warmest way to start the day.
Nah… the warmest way is with a cup of coffee and a fire in the wood-burning stove, and the coffee isn’t quite done yet, and I’m not ready to brave the cold to bring in firewood quite yet.
Late yesterday morning I received a nice piece of news – a negative COVID test for the first time in a week and a half. Others in the house tested negative as well, so we’re all working to get back into our regular routine. That stuff really ground me down a bit, and I am very grateful to have been fully vaccinated and boosted. I don’t want to think about the result if I hadn’t been properly vaccinated – I likely would’ve ended up in the hospital or worse.
The ant-vax crowd still rubs me the wrong way. Telling people to not get vaccinated is a form of evil – I compare it to telling depressed, vulnerable teenagers to harm themselves. Kids get mean to one another and tell them to do the most vile things, up to and including taking their own lives. The anti-vax crowd effectively does the same thing, telling people not to get vaccinated so that they can watch the ICU circus. I wonder if they’re creating side bets on who dies and who doesn’t, all for their own entertainment.
That’s evil, folks.
Today I’m going to get some cleaning and organizing done here. I’ve got some work to do back in the sunroom. No meetings today, but I know I have one tomorrow, a pre-delivery meeting regarding my class that starts next Tuesday and covers the month of January. I haven’t had a conversation with my delivery partner, but we have traded some emails and chats. It’ll be nice to hear the voice of the person I’m working with next month.
I need to read more books. 2022 was not a great year for reading fiction or non-fiction for me. I read a lot of articles, but probably fewer than a dozen books. I need to bump up those numbers.
Other than that, not much to share. I look forward to tacos tonight.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
