Tuesday before Christmas

I am having a hard time getting in the mood for Christmas this year. And I am one who most years does enjoy Christmas. I like seeing the lights and hearing Christmas music. Still this year while Christmas is only a few days away I am still miles away from feeling the season. And I don’t think it is worth the time to give why much thought.

I ordered a few corvid-19 tests yesterday. I didn’t know there was such a thing until my sister mentioned she had ordered some. Anyway I figured they might not be a bad thing to have on hand. I imagine it also might be time to order some KN-95 masks again. A while back when I ordered some I thought that would be the last time. Now it looks like we could be in for a rough time in January. I hope not, however it doesn’t cost much to be prepared. I suppose my main concern isn’t so much about getting Corvid-19 as it is that many of my family and friends have medical conditions that could require emergency attention. If the hospitals that provide such care are jammed with Corvid-19 patients then they might not get the quality of care that they need. So far we have all been fortunate and I hope that good fortune continues.

I have to admit that so far coping with the pandemic hasn’t been difficult for me. I am retired and I have never been a real social person. So not being able to go out and be around a lot of people hasn’t been something that I miss. I suppose the most trying part has been seeing how ignorant and gullible many people are. I was aware of this shortcoming in many of my fellows, however the pandemic has shown almost daily the tragic consequences of ignorance. Mostly I cope my remembering that I have no control in the matter and by trying to limit my exposure to the news.

Wish I did have more holiday cheer to spread. I will end with a photo of some of my holiday solar lights. Finding out how these things work was pretty interesting to me. You can do a Google search and easily find a few articles dedicated to the subject.
