Merry Covid Christmas

 

We had three shifts of Christmas guests: Christmas Eve Mya, Mid day Christmas Josh's family and later, Shanna's family. Naomi who would be all alone was there the whole time. Yes it would have been more fun to have everyone at once..Next year. I guess. I had the kids smile in their photos before they could open presents

Yes I am a sucker for various lights. I like the pattern these lanterns make
Maya and Nala
Our 43rd wedding anniversary came and went
more lights


Its turned cold and snowy so luckily we have a treadmill. With the heat off, the fan full blast and my music full blast, it is almost tolerable. Warm now is defined by me at least at 35 for bicycling


As in most of the world, I feel like I am in a holding pattern until we can get those vaccines. Also cannot wait until Trump leaves. I keep being afraid one of his dastardly plans might work. Now I can see why he wants to stay in office at all costs but why anyone else would.


And each day now gets ligher

Awaiting the vaccine

Went to an art show down the street

 This covid crap is getting old. It is more or less under control in our county but we are surrounded by maskholes. And the rate is going through the roof in the red states.

The vaccine won't come soon enough. Now there are debates who will get it first. I would like to suggest those who had refused to wear a mask will be at the end of the line but they probably have no interest in the vaccine anyway as they don't believe in science or already had covid.

Naomi's workplace was shut down and she has only 4 weeks of unemployment left. On top of it all, Maya's insurance was taken away. Technically low income families in Michigan can get free insurance for their children. She has received this since she was born but as of last week, it disappeared because her father who lives 130 miles away signed up for health insurance at his new job and was told he had to include her. Nevermind it is in a different region of the state and doesn't cover anything until a huge deductable has been met.  She is not even his dependent by IRS rules. The insurance costs his employer nothing and I am sure they get some sort of tax break . We are encouraging him to look for a new job. So frustrating. Very upsetting.


Trump still is spreading disease with his rallies insisting he won the election. I am hoping he knows he didn't but is just using this as an excuse to fleece his supporters who have sending him money for his defense. Rumor has it that he just pockets it. Now his slimeball lawyer is in the hospital with covid which of course serves him right.

Why decorate for Xmas when noone will see it? Just trying not to sink into despair.
