THE POD SQUAD

Not to be confused with that really cool show from the 70’s called
The Mod Squad. I loved that show! They were so groovy, man.
Did any of you watch it???
YouTube has a few seasons and it’s totally worth watching – again.

Anyway, thanks to 2020 and a pandemic we now have…
It’s true. Those people you live with or the ones you feel are safe enough to interact with during this pandemic? Yeah. They’re your pod squad now.
Here’s the breakdown –
***The people you live with, they’re your family pod.
***The people you feel are safe to interact with, they’re your social pod.
***And for you parents out there, yep, there are academic pods as well.
And that’s my PSA for the day. – You’re welcome.
Also. I have one family pod and one social pod.
How many pods do you have???

MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –
If you have aches n’ pains go out and get you some of this!
My back pain is almost completely gone AND I have to share this…
When I was going thru chemo in 2006/2007 I got neuropathy in my feet. It is the most excruciating pain. Your feet feel like they’re on fire or encased in blocks of ice or like you’re walking on shards of broken glass. Sometimes all at once!

I was using horse liniment on my feet to make the burning sensation at least bearable but there was no hope for the freezing feeling or the feeling of walking on shards of glass UNTIL this miracle in a jar! Seriously. This will be in my house always.
Thank you again, Joe and Mrs. C – The Cranky Old Man – You’re a lifesaver and a life changer!
❤ XoXo ❤

2020 – ARE WE THERE YET?

Seriously? The weirder this year gets the more I just want it to be 2021 already.
This world has gone absolutely nutso. 
And yet… There’s a part of me that finds the whole idea of ringing in 2021 somewhat frightening.

It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop only you don’t know if it’s really a shoe you just know that whatever it is, it’s going to fucking drop.

Fleeting thought – What’s Time Square going to look like this year?
What are all of the New Year celebrations around the globe going to look like??

THURSDAY – October 15
*****Thankful Thursday
1.) I’m thankful for my eyesight to see the beautiful colors of fall
2.) I’m thankful for snuggly hoodies for being outside walking in the wind watching the leaves fly.
3.) I’m thankful that we haven’t turned our heat on yet. It’s like a contest in our family. Who turns their heat on first.
4.) I’m thankful for pizza.
5.) I’m thankful for phone calls with my brother that always make me laugh so much AND we can discuss politics and still hang up the phone with “I love yous.”

FRIDAY – October 16
*****More birthdays…
Happy Birthday to my oldest grandson, Seth. 
He’s 14 today!
And to my mom who never could seem to remember Seth’s birthday even tho, he was born on her birthday.
I’m pretty sure she did it just to piss me off. It worked.
She would’ve been 91!
Our relationship wasn’t easy but I loved her very much…
Happy Birthday, mom!

Another virus-free week in the books for myself and those I hold near and dear.
I hope the same holds true for all of you.
My allergies are kicking up a bit but I’m good with that. It’s annoying and I feel like crap most of the time but as far as I know, at least for me, they’re not deadly.

Fall is here in full swing and the temps are dropping like a rock but still, we have yet to turn on our heat. It’s a small victory and a bit of a challenge throughout our family. Who can go the longest without turning the heat on.

I don’t know who started it or why, I’m sure it started out with someone calling someone else a pussy because they didn’t like the cold, which, being Michiganders is pretty much a sin. So, here we are, a family waiting to see who can freeze first!

How about where all of you are? Beautiful fall temps or temps dropping like a rock? OR… Who’s got snow??? I-CAN’T-WAIT!

Everyone, please, be safe when you’re out n’ about. They say this virus is getting worse. You know what to do. Keep yourselves safe and those around you.
