I’m going to advise you to find your own quote about laughter. There are about a million of them encouraging you to do it for your good health and state of mind, and these are times when laughing is hard. I was glad for today’s idol challenge:

Thinking about the effects of climate change courtesy of Hurricane Ida on the country, and the effects of yet another Texas law stripping rights from women and the poor, does not keep me from thinking about COVID.

I guess today’s household task to keep me too busy to freak out will be making Tom’s bathroom clean like mine. And I have one disk left in the Feel Flows collection to listen to.
That’s one of the things that I shared with Mum and miss so much. We used to cry with laughter together over the silliest things.
What are the death rates over there? I haven’t looked up John Hopkins lately.
What gets me about the people not wearing masks is – are they arrogant or naive? I know of a number and people who have contracted covid, despite being double-jabbed and have been very unwell with it. My mask is staying on!
As our vaccination rates have gone up, our death rates have gone down. We’re at a low point right now and hoping cold weather sending people indoors doesn’t reverse that.
Most are arrogant. People might argue that point, but they think they have something to prove about freedom. Freedom includes willfully endangering others, I guess.
It certainly seems like it. I wonder how they would feel if the passed it on to their old granny or mum?
How could they not be devastated? But maybe not. I guess I don’t really want to understand how people could be that indifferent.
