Good evening my Corona friends and yes it has been almost one year since I started this blog and I never thought in a million years, I would still be carrying on about Corona virus, WTF???? It was supposed to be like the flu and when the weather got warmer it would disappear, well it sure wasn’t and is still with us today, Mask or no Mask?  I know a lot of places are doing away with the mandates for a mask but I know I am going to keep them in place till it is safe to go back in the water. I went this long and hate to blow it now because of mask fatigue, so I guess I can stick with it a bit longer. Besides I just read a post that said don’t get all shook up about masks required for entry, because just imagine what it was like when the sign said “whites only” how would that fly today, you would be outraged so just suck it up, and walk in someone else’s shoes, it’s not that hard.

I am sure everyone does the same thing but I got to thinking of all the things I missed getting accomplished this year during a year of the shutdown and that list is pretty small. I did find a whole new genre of murder shows, and of course, the British ones have it all over us, with a lot of murders happening in these small quaint villages. Just goes to show things are not always what they seem and these idyllic villages have a lot of bad things happening, just ask Harry and Meghan. Seriously I often worry that when I retire I will be on the couch with a bag of Cape Cod chips binging on Law and Order but now I have a whole another genre of British crime shows and on Amazon or Netflix there are no commercials. This past year I learned that I can watch from my IPad with my earphones so I can be in bed and watch all night, before my discovery I was sleeping on the chaise part of my sectional. Speaking of which I got into this feathering your nest thing and got a new sectional, mind you the look is killer but there will be no burrowing into my chaise in the middle of the night and finding just the right spot to be at my moment of Zen.  No, this one is all about the look and trying to be cool in my loft, and guess what Techie hasn’t even noticed it yet.  He never watches TV or if he does it is on his laptop, he is such a millennial.  Mostly he spends a lot of time reading weird blogs or listening to podcasts that are more intellectually stimulating than Law and Order or City Homicide but murder gets my attention and my fantasy but lately, since the last election, I don’t feel like killing anyone and I will take it as a good sign. The weather is getting warmer and daylight savings time is coming this weekend and even though I know I shouldn’t be tricked into this Fools spring, I have lived here long enough to know snow could come any day by the feet, I can’t help but feel a spring in my step. I am getting my second dose of the Moderna vaccine this Friday and just can’t wait. When the last time people is were so excited to get a jab but hell we sure are and then some.  We heard tonight that we may get together with others who have been vaccinated and your grandchildren if the pod is safe. well, we are lucky as we all just got to celebrate Maisie turning three with fire pit and s’mores, so let’s not rush back to anything we used to do as I like these ‘Hot Toddies” and the campfire. Tomorrow night I will celebrate my sister Debby’s Birthday with 4 of my five sisters and we have all been vaccinated, up until now it was a good excuse not to see them, just kidding. Soon enough we won’t have that excuse not to get together but maybe can we scrape by with missing one more Passover or Easter??  I love hosting or attending but I have really grown to love not getting dressed on said holidays and just eating take out, maybe because with my Covid 19 I can’t fit into any of my clothes. I am trying to psych myself into going back to the gym but always think of a reason not to go, just don’t have the right mask.  Plus I do have that second shot on Friday and I heard it can be a setback so best not to overdo it before I am fully vaccinated.

In the meantime my roommate gave me a few days to myself and I knew just what to do with my free time.

 Just saying………….
