Freeeedommmmmmm, finnnaaallllyyyyyy!

Howdy, y’all! OK, so maybe that headline is a bit dramatic — or unreadable (translation: Freedom, finally). But for the first time in a year, I feel free. The self-isolation that started March 17, 2020, will finally be over starting April 7, 2021, as I have gotten the COVID-19 vaccination. I got the Pfizer one.

I can’t believe it

Howdy! Well, I have some great news. Back in January, I signed up on a wait list in Virginia for the COVID-19 vaccine. It didn’t seem like I would ever get one. And it’s been very confusing as to how to get one. But last Saturday, I got a call from the local health department.

Spring fever

Hello! Finally, after months of craptastic days filled with snow and freezing cold, we had a nice day here today! Not only that, but it actually was on my day off! That never happens. It was in the 60s here today and sunny, and I had so much energy. I did yard work, fixed a

Isolation insanity

Howdy, folks. I am doing well today after feeling horrible yesterday. I am still not 100 percent sure what was wrong with me, but I think that a huge factor was that it was just too hot to go for a jog yesterday. That, combined with some other issues, made for a bad day. So,

What the health? Part 2

Hello! First off, I just want to say that my brain has resumed normal functions after yesterday’s full-on frazzled state. I wrote this blog and went for a jog/walk, and that was all I did yesterday. I just could not concentrate on anything. Today, I’m back on track, and I’d like to talk more about
