Corona....And Not The Good Kind

I am a little freaked out.

Apparently, the corona-virus will soon be affecting the daily lives of Americans.  Like in May.

(But not in Alabama,  where the kibosh was recently placed on a plan to bus sickly  to a barely used FEMA Center for Domestic Preparedness for quarantine...Thank you Madam Governor!)

When the whole corona-virus hubbub started, the Gwyneth Paltrow/Matt Damon movie CONTAGION sprang to mind.

Let me refresh your memory.

A firm believer in the Zombie Apocalypse, I am very keenly aware of any viral plague that may affect the populous.  Or the attempts to vaccinate it out of existence.

I point to two cinematic examples

Zombieland,  where a strain of Mad Cow disease turns most of the planet into zombies

and

World War Z where a weaponized virus starts the great Zombie Apocalypse.

Probably should mention I am Legend too...just for good measure.  This is the classic where the vaccine used to cure cancer goes awry and creates, well I guess, cancer free zombies.

Life, after all, imitates art.

So today, after reading that the SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO AVOID CONTAGION is PROPER HAND WASHING, I decide it was time to repost this.

This is THE WAY we wash our hands. 

You're Welcomed!

That Awkward Moment....

...when you make a wrong turn and become part of the parade....

On This Day...

Well today started out crappy.

I overslept by 30 minutes and then I fell on the iced over porch feeding Castor and Pollux. I am only an hour out and I hurt so bad, it is almost unbearable.  I am not sure what hurts worse; my wrist, my ass, or my pride.

Today, January 28th, is a historically crappy day.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident that claimed the lives of six brave astronauts and the first teacher in space.

Today is also the sixth anniversary of Snowmageddon.

Happy Birthday Tigger!!

 I pray that today is just as special as you are. I wish you true love, peace, and abundance. May you be healthy and strong, in both mind and body. It is my prayer that 2020 holds all the dreams, rewards, and adventures that your heart desires. 

Always pray to have eyes to see the best in people, 
A heart that forgives the worst, 
A mind that forgets the bad, 
And a soul that never loses faith in God. 

I miss you buddy

love, Mama Joy

Thank You For Leaving

It's been six years ago today, since my world was suddenly turned upside down. For the longest I was extremely bitter. I seethed with anger. I broke down in tears at the very thought of it all.

But now, I am better.  I didn't think of it at all until someone I was talking to sort of reminded me that today was the day.

So much has happened. So much has changed. I am a new person.

And I am thankful.

Thankful I am stronger, both physically and mentally.

Thankful that I am healthier than I have ever been.

Thankful that I now have a comfortable life, that I live on my terms. 

Thankful that I am happy.

Thankful that I actually love myself and I am enough.

I could go on and on,  but the main thing I need to say is,  thank you for leaving.

You've helped me more than you will ever know.
