.
You know the drill.
.
.
Sadly, we’re probably not far from this happening in real life.
.
.
Better than burning alive in my opinion.
.
.
I definitely need one of those.
.
.
And yet, we’re still dying by the thousands needlessly.
.
.
And if it’s good enough for Micheal Meyers….
.
.
Because I can’t believe we’re back here again and I’m finding it difficult to laugh.
.
.
I’m wondering how that works.
.
.
That it does.
.
.
Doubtful. But it will make a great bumper sticker all the same.
.
.
Jell-O shots!
Finally, a way for reluctant Americans to be persuaded.
.
.
I say we give them all a time out.

If there’s a one in a million chance of getting a weird side effect from the Covid vaccine? You know it’s going to be me.
.
.
So I got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, my arm was sore and I had a slight headache…. which was no big deal and to be expected. I went to bed at 10:00 and called it good. Until I woke up Saturday morning with body aches, sluggish fatigue, a bigger headache and an odd tenderness under my left arm. I was pretty useless all day, went to bed at 7:00pm but couldn’t sleep for the pain. By Sunday morning? I had a rock hard grapefruit in my armpit.
.
.
I admit I was a little freaked out and immediately hit the computer for some medical research. Yes, it is a possible side effect… though it’s rare and only hits 0.3% of the public. It usually lasts a week to ten days, but can be sore for up to a month.
.
.
Ironically, I had a routine doctors appointment scheduled for today and I just got back. They told me they hadn’t seen a patient present with it yet, but they did have a male nurse with a bad case. Of course he didn’t have to worry about wearing a tight bra, so my sympathy only went so far.
.
.
The doctor told me our lymph nodes are part of our body’s immune response system and they swell when they’re fighting infection. So the fact that mine are inflamed is actually a positive reaction to the vaccine.
.
.
Maybe so. But I’m here to tell you, it’s not a pleasant feeling.
.
.
Still here. Still laughing… even when it’s not so funny anymore.
.
.
Seriously, you’ve had a year to figure it out. WTH?
.
.
Call me crazy, but I still think that’s a good thing.
.
.
Yes, hang on to your Charmin…. toilet paper shortages could be just around the corner again.
.
.
I think I still have 45 rolls from the first Oh no, I’ll never be able to wipe my butt again! apocalypse…. so I’m good. The rest of you? Good luck.
.
.
It looks like home schooling is winding down now with kids going back to the classroom…. but something tells me mommy’s sippy cup might still have a bit of the grape left in it.
.
.
True that.
.
.
Because Covid isn’t funny… but we still need to laugh.
.
.
Guess the conspiracy theorists were right after all.
.
.
For anyone who has ever been owned by a cat, you know this is true.
.
.
If only…
.
.
Geesh. How bad do you suppose it has to get?
.
.
It’s been almost a year since we traveled.
A year! That just doesn’t seem possible.
.
.
Okay, on second thought ….I guess we don’t have it so bad after all.
.
.
Our resident projectile has melted halfway, split and refrozen.
.

47 inches and still anxiously awaiting an unsuspecting red squirrel to wander by.
.
.
In other news…. my husband received his first Covid vaccine shot this week. Yay! No side effects other than a slightly sore arm for a day or two, though we’ve heard most people are experiencing flu like symptoms after the second shot.
Shots.
.
.
Sorry, that’s where my mind went.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is starting to get used to having his picture taken.
.
.
But that doesn’t mean he enjoys it.
Yikes. If looks could kill…
.
.
It might be a new year, but I still need to laugh.
.
.
I’m speechless.
.
.
If it is? I’m doomed.
.
.
I have Prime. Yay!
.
.
This so reminds me of my MIL. She never missed a thing.
.
.
Funny, but also true.
And because I’m not always snarky?
A few words of encouragement.
.
.
.
Because so far, 2021 isn’t very funny.
.
.
That looks about right.
.
.
A groaner for sure.
.
.
I’ve always thought hot dog ingredients fall under the “you’re better off not knowing” category.
.
.
Well, that’s my plan.
.
.
And we all know the sequels are always worse than the original.
Damn.
.
.
Because we all need a little chortle now and then.
.
.
I hear ya sister.
.
.
This is a brilliant idea.
I shall be cc’ing the CDC immediately.
.
.
That’s pretty much been our last 10 months. You?
.
.
Rode hard and put away wet.
Yup.
.
.
This is almost too true to be funny.
.
.
Wish that happened when I tried it.
Though I do firmly believe in sanitizing from the inside out when it comes to tequila….
.
.
Because if I don’t laugh, I’ll hurt someone.
.
.
Proof there’s a silver lining to every cloud.
.
.
I’m not there… yet.
.
.
This, above anything else, is what I miss. Our plans of retiring and traveling extensively this year went right down the drain.
.
.
Whew. Glad I made the cut…
.
.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
.
.
Some people just shouldn’t shake their groove thing. Ever.
.
.
Better living through science? I rest my case.
.
.
Building a snowman?
Very 2019.
