So You’ve Had Covid…

I’ve probably been overly obsessive about reading and rEsEaRcHiNg about Covid ever since the pandemic began – all aspects from the science of it to the economic and political implications to the occasional conspiracy theory (well, blitzed with them every time I open a social media site!) Now that I’ve finally had Covid, a lot […]

Music Monday – “You’d say I’m putting you on/But it’s no joke/It’s doing me harm/You know I can’t sleep/I can’t stop my brain/You know it’s three weeks/I’m going insane You know I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind”

Our family’s theme song this week… “I’m So Tired” – The Beatles

Secular Sunday – “And then Jesus said unto his disciples…sorry, wrong jurisdiction.”

I honestly sometimes don’t understand humanity – there are people living in tents in frigid weather and freezing to death in the streets and our decision makers, a number of whom claim to be Christians, could use their power to try to do…anything…but then they don’t. Uhm, Merry Christmas everybody? And then Jesus said unto […]

Saturday Snap – Stay Hydrated! (and a List of My Least Favourite Covid Symptoms)

Tea, pop (didn’t have ginger ale so using closest thing I had) and iced coffee. (Not pictured, a giant bottle full of ice water which has been my best friend the past few days!) My Top Five Least Favourite Covid Symptoms (these change from day to day) 1. My ears constantly feel plugged like I’m […]

Friday Fun Link – Annual Performance Review Time (For Your Pets!)

It’s the end of the year. You know what that means. Tweeting me your Annual performance reviews for your pets. Did they meet expectations, exceed expectations or fail to meet expectations? Please leave a picture of your non-human resource below with their performance review. — Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) December 6, 2022

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No Covid, No Covid! (January 2022, March 2021)

The good old days when I could mock Covid by making a giant “C” out of our family’s negative tests back in January of this year… …and even earlier in March 2021 which is when Shea was first able to get Covid rapid tests through her work to be used for herself and her family […]

After Two and a Half Years, The Big “C” Got Me! :-(

Shea was deadly ill (said it was sickest she ever felt) a couple weeks ago but never tested positive for Covid. So, when I got sick, I thought I had this… But tested today and it turns out that both Shea and I have this…   Fuuuuuuuuuck! Such a weird mix of emotions to finally […]

Covid Tweets Roundup

[Caveat: I post tweets that catch my eye but am not asserting that the claims they make are factual or not.  You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]
