21st day of 21st year of 21st century!!!


Well there ya go!  

The 21st day of the 21st year in the 21st century!  

I think that is extra cool.

I love those kind of milestones in life.  It cements a moment in time.

As noted by Chelsea's young son Aidan - it's also Joe Biden's first full day as President.  Yay! 

I'm working today - going through emails.  I'm in week three of COM 304.  I don't yet have a vaccine for Covid-19 and don't expect one for several months, I'm continuing to isolate - and way too used to it.  That's my life update on the 21st day of the 21st year in the 21st century! :)

It would be better if I waited until the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st year of the 21st century to publish this, but that's past my bedtime (a 24 hour clock).  11:21 pm  January 21, 2021.  


As a side note. comments replying to Chelsea's post were horrible.  Many of them coming from bot accounts (recently new account with only a few followers).  Others, though, coming from people who just want to say mean things - they say Chelsea made it up because no 4 year old would say something like that.  As she noted in subsequent texts, they do if that's the kind of thing their parents talk about at the breakfast table.  To me, that's typical of people who assume everyone is a copy of themselves - if their kid didn't say it, then no kid would ever say it.  Very Republican, and now Trumplican, way of thinking. 

And what's the point of even saying anything?  Why must those people rain on everyone's parade?  Especially if it's not a parade - just people living life.  What kind of mind must a person who goes out of their way to say mean things - in fact, seems to do it as a full-time job - what kind of mind must they have?  What kind of life must they live to have such negativity coursing through their veins and poisoning everything they see?  I suspect they'd say they live a beautiful life when they're not on Twitter, but that kind of negativity really does find its way into a person's daily life.  They don't notice it, but it changes them.

Memorial for Covid-19 on January 19, 2021

 


I used the photo from the Axios newsletter this morning.

We still have a ways to go before we're done with the pandemic.  It was comforting, though, to spend a moment without politics to acknowledge and memorialize the 400,000 people who have died and the families who miss them.
