My husband went to the bloodmobile to give blood today. When he got home, he said, “I had to wait in line an hour, they couldn’t find a vein, and there weren’t any Nutter Butters.”
“My day was worse,” I said. “The TV went off while Mama (my mother lives with us) was watching Bonanza, she spilled her Ensure on the carpet, I tried to go to the grocery store to get some more Ensure, and found out I lost my car keys.”
“I guess your day was worse,” my husband said.
Later I told my sister about the TV…
That is great advice Tina. So often we move on, forgetting to check back in with those who are grieving and, as you indicated, experienced a whole new level of loss now that the shock has worn off. Your article has made me determined to check in with some people a few weeks or months after they have buried their loved ones.
Wow, you don't think just getting the two doses will be good enough to take your trip? i would think if it was doctor sanctioned spacing, those few days wouldn't matter.
My partner and I were excited. A small pharmacy in Walhalla, South Carolina, had called to confirm that we could schedule an appointment for the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
We set up our appointment for April 20, then heard the news. The J&J vaccine supply would be cut by 88 percent, due to a human mistake at one of their vaccine production plants.

I got vaccinated on Monday and felt so liberated! On Tuesday, the vaccine I got was all over the news about causing blood clots.
I much prefer the English word
When speaking of an ass,
Bum sounds rather charming,
Whereas butt is crude and crass.
But whether you say bum or butt
You must be in agreement
That a finely turned out derriere is
A miracle of achievement.
We sit on them, we wiggle them,
They should evoke our praise,
Since whether dressed in thongs or jeans
They draw the lustful gaze.
And did you know that men account
For fully 10 percent
Of those who seek an ass implant
And call it wealth well spent?
Or did you know J Lo insured Her…
Lol. Thanks for reading, Michael. This ID thing has become quite controversial.
The new Georgia voting laws have elicited a national uproar, but is it warranted? Will the new laws return us to the era of Jim Crow restrictions designed to keep Blacks away from the polls?
“It’s backlash for Georgia electing its first Jewish and first Black senators,” according to U.S. Sens John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
President Biden described the voting changes as “an atrocity.” He told reporters, “They passed a law saying you can’t provide water for people standing in line while you’re waiting to vote. …
My popularity has soared during the pandemic, which might be why I am getting snarky.
Truthfully, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Popularity is not all it’s cracked up to be.
I was feeling beautiful and superior at first, when people began choosing me over the regular human cashier. Her formerly friendly smile was concealed by an unflattering mask and a plate of plexiglass, bringing a smirk to my normally serene countenance.
Abandoned and ignored by those who preferred human interaction, I was used to sulking and glowering in my corner of the store.
But the pandemic changed everything. Suddenly the…
