Meanwhile, Molly made an appetizer out of rabbit droppings she sniffed out by the tractor barn this morning. Oy! Rabbit poo?! Can’t get that from Chewy.

Now she’s giving me the big brown bulldog eyes, begging to finish the last bite of my jalapeño-cheddar bagel. She’ll get the last bite, but please don’t rush me, babe. That flu shot I got yesterday left me a little ache-y, not break-y with a low grade fever and a faucet-face this morning. Please pass the Kleenex. I’m still getting up to speed.

She has never been a poo roller, but when she found a very ripe road-kill armadillo in the ditch when we lived in Florida! Oh, mercy. That was some serious STANK! She got hosed down, shampooed, and rinsed 3 times in the yard before I took her inside for a soak in the tub.

My husband was going to bury the ‘dillo carcass when he got home from work but he got busy and Molly escaped. You know she made a bee-line for more rock and rolling! DH Happy “got” to clean her up before I let Molly back inside. He wasn’t allowed in until after he buried the poor possum-on-the-half-shell.

An unwary customer bought a bottle of smart pills and poured out some into his hand. ‘This looks like rabbit poop. Tastes like rabbit poop too’, to which sales weasel said, ‘See? You’re smarter already!’

Different cast of characters (in his version it was 2 kids), but the same punchline!

They use those eyes I’m weak with the eyes. Hope you feeling better soon I’m up for flu and new Covid booster within month just waiting for booster to be available.

My 50th high school reunion is coming up on the 23rd.
I’ve had 6 Moderna jabs, the last mid-May. The new booster won’t be available until after the reunion, but my doctor told me to go ahead and get my flu shot now. I also got some N95 hospital grade masks from 3-M, and my daughter keeps me supplied with hand sanitizer in a delightfully refreshing blood orange scent.

North Carolina Covid cases aren’t spiking in the mountains yet, but Georgia is heating up. I’ve not left the mountain much since 2020 when Covid went full blown pandemic, but surviving 50 years past high school is something worth celebrating! We’re expecting about 100 classmates for dinner, memorial service, DJ, dancing and shmoozing. About 4 hours in a grand ballroom. I’ll be masked and distancing. Haven’t had Covid and don’t want it. If things go all spikey by the 23rd, we may have a zoom reunion option. I guess that’s better than nothing, and I know it’s a better option than Covid.

Dang, don’t we live in interesting times?!
