Fall is certainly here in full force, and I’ve been in a pensive mood. Day 231 of the lock down – I never would have thought… So I thought I would bring to you another round of COVID observations.
- Cheetos and pineapple hard cider aren’t the best food and booze pairing I’ve ever had. But it’s not the worst either.
- There is something inherently depressing about the first day after the time change when the sunset occurs before you are off work. It’s worse when you haven’t even put on shoes that day…
- There is something quite odd about realizing that you are very drawn to a man’s face in the grocery store… And then you realize it is because he doesn’t have a mask on.
- We are all unintentionally jerks sometimes. That’s just human nature. You are going to screw up and all you can do is apologize and hope they forgive you. But when you are a jerk intentionally, then it’s time to look very deeply into your own heart and reevaluate your values… Because something ain’t lining up. There seems to be a lot of this going around lately…
- I saw a wine advent calendar at the grocery store tonight. If I place it in a prominent location at home, does that count as decorating for Christmas? Asking for a friend…
- I think the black squirrels in my yard gained a competitive advantage over the gray squirrels this year. Maybe it has something to do with the bunnies.
- Raking and mowing the lawn in fall is the equivalent of bringing on the rain by washing your car. Except with wind.
- At some point I reached the point where my heart has been so scarred that I wonder if I will ever trust anyone ever again. I’m still trying…
- The fate of the world may one day come down to a battle between the people who put two spaces after a period and those who only put one. I’m a two spacer…
- Overall, 2020 still blows…
The red rocks of the southwest are sounding pretty good right now. I hope you are all hanging in there!

#5, does it have tiny bottles of wine in the advent calendar.
Yes. They are 1/4 bottles; 24 of them.
I was amused that your mood seemed to shift with your points. We could blame the virus for that, too.
I laughed at #10. I’m a two-spacer, also. Have you noticed that pasting to a different app sometimes erases the second space?
I’m so over 2020 Anne. My mood definitely does shift – sometimes by the minute! With the darkness of winter, oh boy, my sanity is on the line… 🙂 Two-spacers unite!
Yes! Two-spacers unite!
Got to keep a sense of humor about all this. Presumably, it will end.
One can only hope. I fear it will get a lot worse before it gets better.
Isn’t it strange how we’ve become so accustomed to masks? I was just chatting with a friend the other day about the fact that seeing people maskless and standing close together on TV shows makes the alarm bells start ringing 😂
It’s so weird. Not to mention how everybody feels like they now need to “clarify” if people don’t have masks, that the photo was taken before COVID…
