Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Yes you knew what you were doing!!! And you still do!
I pray for those who must show up at their essential workplaces every shift to work, because these jobs cannot be done from home, placing ourselves at great risk just to survive.

Glad to hear you're getting some much needed pampering in during your stay - sounds like a beautiful place too.
Enjoy your dinner - it will be nice to be waited on!
Three hormone treatments afterwards, every six months and hopefully he is cured!
Say prayers please! Thank you 🙏.
Doesn't help when paramedics run through the speed bump, waking me at 1:30 a.m.
Very windy.
I just got a call from a friend of mine that just lost her husband to Covid.
He died after a week in the hospital. He worked in the medical field for 35 years. He was 70 years old.
His funeral arrangements have been made and will follow Covid protocols. They will also have a Zoom service.
It feels like a bad dream and I am waiting to wake up.
How do we even begin to comfort the loved ones that are losing their beloved partners?
He was a father to two children who live out of state. They have three grandchildren.
What a horrible time this is for their family. I pray that this nightmare will end as soon as it possibly can.
Please get vaccinated when you are eligible. Stay safe, everyone.
I debated in my head whether I should comment further due to not wanting to turn this into a debate about COVID with anyone.
But I want to put things in perspective, so here goes.
Every DAY in the US, there are approximately 7,500 deaths. Each of these death is terrible for his/her family. I read that there are more deaths in 2020 compared to 2019. No doubt, COVID contributes to the increase, but also no doubt there were more deaths resulted due to delay in treatments as people were fearful of COVID and not seeking treatments on time.
Although it is sad when someone dies of COVID, it's sad when someone dies of other causes, too. I for one don't want to highlight deaths. The more we highlight COVID deaths, the more it just puts undue stress and cripples us with fear. We should be careful, not fearful. The media has done too much of that already.
I am glad vaccines are here. And eventually most of us will be vaccinated. Let's be glad for that.
I am not afraid.
I am not afraid.
The wind is bad.
3 fires have started within an hour.
Electricity is out at the market that was getting ready to deliver my groceries.
The sun is shining.
Our electricity is still on.
Freezer is full of ice.
We have lots of food and water.
The paperwhite Narcissus are blooming since Saturday.
The fires are far away (over 10 miles.)
The car was paid for in December, is full of gas, and runs.
Nothing bad is happening to us right now.
Praying for others.
We just need to be vigilant. Keeping an eye out.
Being grateful.
It’s just seems so unpredictable. His wife caught Covid from him. She is on the mend. She is 69.
I am glad that she is going to be okay but so sad that her husband didn’t make it.
Of course, we all know people who have it or had it and we can’t go see them.
It’s awful. It hits home when it is people we know and love.
Yes, any death is sad, no matter what the cause is. It’s just so many people day after day.
I am finding it hard to deal with.
My friend that works at a car dealership said more than half of the salesman have it.
Sometimes I get afraid to answer my phone. It’s really hard hearing news of Covid cases so often.
I am very grateful for the vaccine and truly hope the majority of people will get it.
Internet has limited battery power.
But we have running water this week!
Srill gratweful!
Uh, correction..Still grateful!
I cannot see my keyboard.
Goodnight sweet caregivers! The strongest people I know! 🐿
(That means my electricity is back on today). 🍵
Do I sound bitter much? 🤨
