Jake used to have a girlfriend across the street when Vicki the animal-hoarder lived there. She - the other cat - would come over and lie on the driveway with Jake.

Mrs. ArGee is concerned that my life is going to be very difficult if I don’t get the COVID vaccine. We tend to only get vaccines when we feel the risk is worth it. I believe I could keep from getting COVID by being careful since I manage to avoid the flu every year the same way.

But Mayor Putz - er - de Blasio has decided to try to shed his “worthless” image by making it painful for city employees to not be vaccinated. I’m a consultant with a quai-city agency but I’m sure the rules will apply to me very soon.

[Monkey Face]

Resist as long as possible. :o])

In your situation, that shouldn’t be difficult, because you’re not exposed to various diseases every day like the average worker. I avoided the flu forever because I was (am) pretty much confined to home.

[Tax-chick]

Maybe you’ll be overlooked. Or you could tell them you don’t deserve a vaccine because you’re white.

[ArGee]

Actually, if you’re white you can’t do anything right.

But overlooking someone isn’t actually in the cards.

[Monkey Face]

So little traffic here today, so I’ll take myself down the hall. You know where I am if you need me.

:o|

I took the kids to the library. I got some new painting books and a travel guide to Central America, where I am not going.

Floofy kitteh owns da WURLD!

Good morning.

I didn’t realize how exhausted I was until I shut the light off and had a minor melt-down last night. I don’t like that.

Anyway, I managed to get 10 hours of sleep and with luck, I’ll get another 10 tonight.

I have two prescriptions to pick up but I was hoping to see the deposit had come in overnight. It didn’t, so I’ll wait to get the prescriptions.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. Sleep is often the best choice.

Also kittens.

[ArGee]

Good morning, all. Happy Humph Day!

Off to the races.

[Monkey Face]

schöner Mittwoch!

I hope your day is a good one!

[Tax-chick]

We will go to Walmart.

[Monkey Face]

I will look at some written words and see if I’m as successful in moving some around and my dear friend is.

But I can do that from where I sit. ;o]

[ArGee]

We’re going off to the races in a schooner?

OK. I got the translation.

Nice Wednesday to you, too.

[ArGee]

These days any day out of the apartment is a good day. I’d take Wal-mart. I’d even take the gas station although we’re at $3.15 at the cheap places.

[Monkey Face]

Sorry!

It’s just some days, English is so boring.

I just emailed you a thing.

[Tax-chick]

Back from Walmart. Vlad drove. Tom has turned up and is taking James for an adventure, then he’ll take Vlad for more.

My little “ultra-lite” foldable luggage carrier finally gave up the ghost when I went to bring in the water this morning. I’ve been expecting it to go any time. It’s given me a lot of service over the last almost 30 years, but I will need to replace it, or I won’t be able to bring the water into the house except a bottle at a time.

[Tax-chick]

Darned entropy.
