Good Morning. I woke up late -- but got a good sleep last nite.
So with that, let's go back to 3 years ago.

Morning 
Well I got mom and I scheduled for boosters on the 22nd, though right now I'm at the frustration level of what the point - repubs aren't going to be happy until we're all sick. And with trumpkin going into VA means its going to be worse here.
I hate everything right now.

Morning all.
If you didn't see yesterday - we are pigless. Miss Lemonade went over the Rainbrow Bridge yesterday afternoon. At least she made it through holiday break with Javi. He went back to school yesterday, having to say goodbye.

I am so sorry to hear this. It is hard saying goodbye to a pet.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I fear that history will judge how we handled the pandemic very harshly. Many who died would have lived if we, as a nation and a world, acted with better judgment.
I have online planning sessions but I am still under COVID-19 isolation. (I am not feeling too badly.)
Also, my heart goes out to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones in the fire in the Bronx. This is a tragedy.

One would hope that history will be a little more discerning than to judge the entire population by the horrible actions of a few.

I would hope so, but I think that many will ask how this happened. In mitigation of a harsh judgment, I should point out that many governors and regional officials acted responsibly. Unfortunately, we had a President and an administration that showed its utter incompetence.

Mornin' all!
Well I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection. Half my face is blown up like a balloon!

I hope you can get some anti-biotics for that.

I hope that you can see your doctor soon. In the interim, maybe a humidifier might help.
