Is there an end to this in sight??

 Life in the time of Coronavirus has slogged on for a year now. It's not an original comment to say everyone is pretty much tired of it. 

Nobody saw it coming. Maybe Bill Gates did have a clue, but nobody listened.


It's been quite the adjustment. Bloggers have to stretch to come up with creative posts. I myself have taken to just scrolling through memes for hours on end and appropriating someone else's sense of humor.

Some of us are turning to crafts

sometimes to the annoyance of others.

There are always tasks that need doing around the house. Remember saying, "When I get the time I'm going to . . ."? And yet



Cooking, especially baking, has become popular. Of course eating has been elevated to a new status as well.




DIY is a thing. I do like to make a lot of my own cleaning products to avoid noxious chemicals in my house.

Not all accidents are bad, BTW.


TV binging is a life saver for some of us.



Self care schedules and routines have been altered.


But maybe we are saving some money.


There are times when you just have to get out. That means wearing a mask.

I remember this episode from The Twilight Zone.

And maintaining social distance.


But there are always those who can't follow the program and you never know where they have been.



I really feel for those who have to deal with home, work and their children's home schooling.


Some can cope much better than others.



Stay well. Stay safe. Get vaccinated when you can. Always be kind to yourself and others. laugh whenever you can.

    Humor is always welcome...even if stolen from elsewhere! That kitten was priceless, but maybe it is because I identify too much.

    These were great, Olga. I loved all of them... especially the first cat with the knit hat! So true. And the kitten! Our governor is thinking about taking off the mask regulation... believe me, I'm sticking with it for a while yet!

    You found so many funnies, you got me to smile. That last one is great. I got my two jabs, here in California, so I will probably go in a store and grocery shop next week. Yes, I am wild. Also I will have coffee outside at a friend's house soon, six feet apart, I will bring my own coffee. Whoopee!

    Thanks for the smiles! Without humor, where would we be?

    Lots of giggles here for me too. They all hit pretty close to home.

    These are all good! The one I identified with the most is the last one, but I must admit I've been a lot of time diy'ing.

    Take care, stay well.

    Olga, you are wonderful! I loved all of these, but I really realized I was like Clint in that last one.
    We got our second Covid shot this morning. We won't be changing our life style much for now. We are in for the long haul. But being vaccinated is a relief, especially since many in our age group are still struggling to get appointments.

    Hawaii has just moved to Tier 3 this week and suddenly everybody seems to be out. Sort of freaks me out. Had to deliver our tax things to our accountant today and she wasn't wearing a mask. The people who were with her before us were also unmasked. Once they saw us, they pulled up their masks though. Still, our accountant told us she didn't think she needed to wear one. Arrrghhhh! As we were coming home, we saw restaurants full of people. We were going shopping at the commissary, but saw all the people and decided to go home. This is all making me really nervous.

    Well, I am glad you manage to have some laughs. Laughter is the best medicine, isn't it.

    I hurt from laughing. You certainly found some great funnies. Where in 5 years? Hum? Hopefully looking at COVID-19 in my rear-view mirror.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
