Happy Birthday Betty
I was told to open up Google and search for “Betty White”… She was so close to 100…but as my Grandma says (she’s only a few months younger than Betty says): “sometimes you’re just ready.”
Thank you for being a friend Betty.

King of Pillow Mountain and Santa’s Little Helper…Russell has been a busy little furball this Winter.

It’s always so funny to get spam messages about my Netflix account or student loans…as I don’t have either these days.

Life is messy at times and when it gets that way, we just have to clean ourselves up and move forward. 😆

The Christmas village has been destroyed…it might be time to take it down, before further casualties are caused by the feline invasion.

Decided to do a tiny bit of baking, so I made some chocolate chip cookies for game night.

My current Employer is requiring all employees to provide proof of vaccination, so that an OSHA compliance is met.
I’m at at all opposed to this request / mandate but I do find it funny the system my Employer is using states “do not upload or include information about medical conditions”; the data they’re requesting, it is information about a medical condition… 🤣

Just realized, between my partner and I, we know nine people who have Covid right now… Yay omicron variant… 😷🤒

This sleepy little guy is twitching in his sleep and clearly ready for bed. 🐶📷

It seems like it was years ago (and honestly, it was years ago or so it seems) but I received some bad news last night and instantly flashed back to my days at University, to my favorite liturature course, one covering the Victorian Era (for those of you who don’t know me, I have a minor in English literature). Christina Rossetti is one of my favorite authors of that era and one of her poems is echoing through my head, even this morning:
Promises Like Pie-Crust
Promise me no promises,
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the die uncast,
Free to come as free to go:
For I cannot know your past,
And of mine what can you know?You, so warm, may once have been
Warmer towards another one:
I, so cold, may once have seen
Sunlight, once have felt the sun:
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old?
Fades the image from the glass,
And the fortune is not told.If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again:
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were,
Nothing more but nothing less:
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess.It’s funny how the human mind works…you can be focused one some bad news and instantly the brain takes you down memory lane, to something totally irrelevant and yet completly on point.

Last day of holiday break…so many things I haven’t yet done but it’s hard to find the energy.
Plus, it’s hard to be productive when this little furball wants to be lazy as well… 🐕📷

More Murder...
As my Partner hasn’t been feeling well, we didn’t do anything for New Year’s Eve…and that continued into the New Year. As such, we spent most of the day being couch potatoes and finally finished Only Murders in the Building.
Only Murders In The Building
I realize I’m wildly behind the times (the show debuted at the end of the summer and finished in the autumn) but good grief, this series was just absolutely amazing!! Each episode was a masterpiece (especially the one featuring a deaf character) and I was guessing up until the very end. I give it five out of five stars. 😃

Thank You For Being A Friend
Well, it had to happen…we had to loose just one more person in 2021…goodbye Betty, thank you for being a friend.
Instead of going out to a party, risking Covid and drunk drivers, we just stayed home, watching Betty’s various television shows…at least the ones I had access to view:
- The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970)
- Mama’s Family (1983)
- The Golden Girls (1985)
- Maybe This Time (1995)
- Hot in Cleveland (2010)
She was the last Golden Girl standing…and the world is going to miss her. I’m going to miss her.
Words to live by...from the last Golden Girl.

No, it is not time for Valentine’s Day…put away the red hearts and bring back Christmas…it isn’t even the New Year! 😤
