Sick and tired of being sick and tired
I have been a grown-ass adult for decades now and I cannot remember a time where so many terrible events were happening in such rapid succession. There is no respite. It’s all so heavy. Current events are terrible and I…
We caught Covid.
I didn’t catch it from HersheyPark last August, or the indoor wedding that I was advised to skip in October, or from the Walt Disney World trip in January. Or from going to see a show in February, or going…

Friday 5: Consumer Reports
Happy Friday! Today I was off from work for this momentous event: After which I TORE off my mask and licked the doorhandles. Nah. I kept my mask on and still used hand sanitizer because I care about most others….

Friday 5: A Clubhouse Ain’t Nothing but a Sandwich

Friday 5: Brr!
Happy Friday from my day off, which is being spent in the same place as where I am when I work. I took today off because I’m supposed to be receiving my first COVID-19 vaccine. ALAS… We have had winter…
