Good Evening my Corona friends and hope everyone is happy and healthy and enjoying our time here on planet earth. Well, I have to say that I did not see that coming with Techie taking over my blog and singing my praises and probably even paid the kids a few bucks to say nice things about their mother. I know my grandkids really do like me, as they don’t know enough yet and besides, I let them watch videos and eat all the junk food they want, so what is not to like?  I know through all this crazy shit going down this past year that I may be one of the luckiest women alive to have my most wonderful family.  So what do you think I did to thank Techie for such a very public announcement of love on Valentine’s Day, just said I few days alone for me sounds grand. Honestly, my daughter and family went up to Maine and wanted us to come for a few days. The idea of driving for hours and being buttoned up in another small house just didn’t get me excited. I can assure you if the weather was more agreeable and we could do some biking or hiking I could get on board. Techie said maybe I will go alone and I couldn’t pack his bag fast enough and send him on his way. The very thought that I could have this one big room to myself for a few days literally brought me to tears. Hey, the little things in life, being able to keep the volume up on the telly all night while I watch episodes of Law and Order that I have literally seen a dozen times before, HEAVENLY.  I know it makes no sense as what many of us have been craving during this pandemic is being among friends and family and not craving solitude. I had two nights where I only talked to the person doing my take-out and then my occasional shout-out to Benson and Stabler.

Well, I don’t know about anyone else but now the big news around here is did you get an appointment? Of course, I am talking about the vaccine and it is top of mind for Techie, me, and most of our friends. Used to be want to meet for drinks or dinner and now it’s about doing a deep dive on the vaccine hunt. Luckily most of us have just received the first dose and already planning our escape that will happen after the second. I renewed my Global Entry online today and techie was very impressed that actually did it all by myself. I think he may be worried he won’t be as useful if I can manage these things on my own, but don’t worry my love I still want and need you forever. I also did manage to make my own vaccine appointment and there was a lot of trial and error.  I booked an appointment and then when back on and got another appointment, so canceled the first one, but typical of how I screw things up, I thought I made it a day earlier but actually a day later.  I was all excited to go for my appointment and then freaked out when it wasn’t’ that day but rather a day later than the first.  Unfortunately, not the first time for me, have shown up at the airport more than a few times on the wrong day. You would think once it happened you would know better and triple-check, but the queen of multitasking will never learn her lesson.  I have my next appointment, it’s written on the calendar and my roommate promises me that he will remind me when it’s time.

I am absolutely giddy with excitement and feel like I just got a new set of wings and can fly away. I hope I am right about this vaccine and let the liberation begin. Look out world “the olds” are coming and they are ready to party and trust me we know how to do it. We partied pretty hard back in the day.

Just saying………….
