Day #313 ...winter storm warnings...defunct.

No walk today - see picture above, cloudy with snow and freezing rain, mostly freezing rain.

We've been having a warm and for the most part, dry, winter.

Crazy Workplace vs. COVID

[Personally, I think COVID is winning.]

Crazy workplace is stressing me out about the COVID vaccine. ( Read more... )

Meanwhile, crazy union keeps sending me emails of a few doses available at various sites. ( Read more... )

Although I don't know why I'm concerned, since according to the Governor's email and my work emails, I won't be getting it for quite some time.

New York vs. COVID

[COVID appears to be winning here too. Despite what our leadership thinks.]

MTA vs. Brooklyn Borough President, Late-Shift Workers and COVID

On FB, the Brooklyn Borough President (who as far as I can tell does absolutely nothing but whine about stuff on FB) was whining about the MTA not re-establishing 24/7 service on the subways. This round he posted an article about how it didn't save any money doing this. Which resulted in myself and about a million other people explaining that the MTA didn't halt service from 1- 5 AM for financial reasons, but to frigging clean the trains so that they would be safe and clean for essential workers.

Family

I seem to be crying every day about my Dad. Maybe by the time I actually do lose him - the grief will be out of my system?

The Rest of the World vs. COVID

Bad news? I think COVID is winning here too. We surpassed 100 million cases today, kudos. Way to go world. Great participatory effort all around, folks.

Good news? Except maybe for France that is, which is attempting to renovate the Louvre during its lock-down. But then France never did like to follow the crowd.

Other items?

* Apparently MLB baseball decided not to induct anyone into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020, everyone up for it was rejected by the voters. I don't know why - but they didn't like Roger Clemmons, Barry Bonds, and Curt Schilling - who'd been nominated. [2020 really wasn't anyone's year, was it?]

* The Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction was released online today. It provides the origins of words like Warp Speed, transporter, moon base, and deep space.

Sigh...I'm tired. Sleep is sporadic these days. I'm meditating each morning, so that is helping with the depression which hovers, along with the anxiety.
So far, doing pretty well all things considered. Wish work was busier, but it's probably just as well that it isn't.

There wasn't a winter storm, just rain. I wanted snow. But alas, rain.
