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.

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

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
