Goodbye November....

 

That's it for November 2021.  I don't have a lot to say good or bad for the month.  It just sort of was & not much more.  I think I've removed myself so much from things, I don't really feel much about them at all.  There's been so much beyond my ability to influence for the last couple of years, that I've just let go of it as much as I can.

With tRump, COVID, anti-vaxxers & all the other negatives I've just said F**k it.  Now there's a new strain of COVID,  joy.  Maybe this time it'll off the anti-vaxxers.  I'm starting to think that's only way this will  all end.

Goodbye November, you were alright.  Until next year.

Wrapping Up November...

 

This week will be a little busy for us.  We have a couple rounds of shopping & some errands to handle.  My roomie will have a friend over midweek.  Then we have to start 1st of the month stuff.  Most of that'll get handled on Friday, some will have to wait until the following Monday.  So far, Friday is when we plan to get our boosters.   We'll call later to make sure that's a go.  If not, we'll get them when we can.  

That's how November will wrap up for us & December will begin.  Unless anything else falls in our laps.   We're less than a month from Christmas & just a little over that until 2022. If you have stuff you need to handle this year, now's the  time.

Almost A Wrap...

 

November is almost over & that leads into the last month of 2021.  This week will be busy, it's  the 1st of the month during the holidays.  Sometime soon, we'll get our COVID boosters.   Hopefully it'll be the last round for this.  I'm not betting on that though.  The way these anti-vaxxers are going, we'll probably have variants until they all die off.  If that's going to be the case, I wish they'd get to it.

We rotated out decorations yesterday.  We went from our minimalist Thanksgiving motif, to our slightly more abundant Christmas fare.  We don't do a lot.  We have cats & don't want the cat/tree drama.  We put up a few things, where we'll see them & maybe they make things more festive. 

That's all for now, take care.

Not Articles...

 

Occasionally I see articles that sound interesting, except they aren't articles, they're unsupported statements or opinions.  Badly written pieces don't make articles, most of them aren't even well constructed OpEd's.

I saw a piece inferring it would cover racism in the  medical setting & how it impacted the treatment of HIV+ people of color.  The lengthy article said stigma & prejudice were present for ethnic patients, it never supported.    

When dealing with HIV; stigma, discrimination & prejudice are always a fear & too often a reality.   This article implied it was going to cover such matters, it  didn't.  It simply stated it happens & it's bad. 

There was little actual research noted & I'm not certain where the few stats  cited came from.  This wasn't an article.  It wasn't an OpEd.  It was a  distraction.  People, learn to actually write articles.  Start by learning to write basic essays; have a point, make it, support it, then conclude.  These articles should be as brief  & concise  as  possible.

Take care.

Chilly Friday...

 

It's the last Friday of November & it got chilly.   I'm glad it's bright out & that it's supposed to warm up a bit.  We have to go shopping, so this will be brief.

We plan on getting COVID booster the beginning of the month.  Seems like a smart thing to do.  There's a new variant popping up in Africa.  Who knows how that'll affect things?

I didn't notice any newer articles.  It may be the holiday stuff happening.  Take care.

Thanksgiving...

 

It's Thanksgiving in the US.  I have to get around & get ready.  Besides cooking, I still need to shower.  Luckily trash actually ran & for that I'm grateful.  Other than cooking & such,  that's it for our day.

Happy Thanksgiving & take care.

Last November Wednesday...

It's the last Wednesday of the month.  We need to call & make sure the trash is running tomorrow.  It usually does on holidays, but it's skipped it a couple of times.  There are a few errands later this afternoon.  Mostly, we just have to get everything ready for cooking tomorrow.

That's about it for us.  Looks like there's going to be rain tonight & it'll cool down a lot tomorrow evening.  It's not going to be fun on Friday morning.

Take care.
