Stormy died today. Totally sucks. Brandi K posted on IG on Monday - "Grief and Joy" so prescient . Except well, I don't feel like Joy at the moment either. I am so sorry. Sending hugs.

The French Prime Minister just announced that they have preordered enough to vaccinate 100 million people not including the COVAX project orders (global vaccination campaign for third-world and developing countries) so a large enough safety margin considering there are 70 million people living across the country. First vaccination wave begins in January. I may be crying behind my laptop. I'm just so happy. All I wanted for Christmas this year was a vaccine widely available. Sure, I'll have to wait until April to get it but at least my mother and stepfather can get vaccinated in a few weeks. I'm totally crying. Tears and snotty nose. Such good news!

It’s so hard to lose a pet - they truly are family and it leaves such a big hole. Being a pet owner brings such joy and also such profound sadness because we know we will likely outlive them, but it hurts so much when they leave us.

It will be such a relief when all our vulnerable loved ones are protected. And everyone, eventually. Even just knowing that healthcare workers and people in rest homes are protected will be such a relief.

The latest collection I have to sell for the relatives is a portion of their Santa collection. Holy crap, there are a lot of terrifying/expensive/weird Santas. And a few cool ones. I'm not sure how many more might be lurking in their house. At least I was able to get some ok photos. There are 3 photos: http://instagr.am/p/CIXFyf4gsrE

I’m watching The Princess Switch right now. Totally predictable fluff, and I loved it! My little ice cold grinchy heart might be melting a little. 💜

So sorry @northrigg blemon - I am trying to think of something along the lines of Christmas song lyrics, but got nothing yet... Maybe something like "my how the holiday festivities zoom by" ? sleepingbooty so awesome for France - I am thinking most of us will see it like April/May also. Hopefully. joblackford I kinda like Santa collections. My Mom has a small tabletop one. Some of those are quite unique! I think you will do well selling. I managed to foil a page for opening in my album and type up the journaling. Hopefully will have some time to work on it this weekend. I also decided just to continue in my Storyline Chapters book with regular daily/weekly events, also recording some of the christmassy stuff happening. So we'll see how that goes. And I am thinking of doing a page grouping of christmas outfits. I've acquired several shirts and sweaters over the year, usually I wear just the week of Christmas, but I've already started this year. Hoping to get a few wears out of each one this month. why not?!

I'm so happy for you sleepingbooty. Such great news. I think my parents will be in the second wave or maybe third in Scotland, since they are in their late 70s and are high risk. Waiting to see. Great that there is light at the end of the tunnel...and for all of us.

So, I ordered from a link someone posted for these masked Santa ornaments. Well... they arrived. Mine look so bad, like, they look like zombie-masked Santa. I've contacted the seller and it's been back and forth and just stupid, but the story is certainly making it into my DD, creep Santa and all. Very 2020.

My Mom has a small tabletop one. Some of those are quite unique! I think you will do well selling. Yes, as with everything this lady collected, if you look at each item, or just a few, they're quite interesting. I can see why she bought them. It's the volume that takes it OTT. We've already sold the Caroler collection, the Jim Shore Santa collection, the Snowbabies collection... each of those took up one sideboard/table. And there's a whole bedroom stacked with Snow Villages. At least I have a really amazing choice of Santas to display while I wait for them to sell! I have a couple I might keep. I scared myself with one though - didn't realize the switch controlled more than the candle light he was holding. He started vibrating and moving when I plugged him in. Animatronic Santa. Great.

I am so sorry to hear about Stormy! Those little guys can really take up so much space in our hearts. and Hugs. Did you guys see the NY Times Vax line creator: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/03/opinion/covid-19-vaccine-timeline.htmlIt's very cool. I am 100,000 out of 105,000 in my county. In the line of 100, I am 99. There is one person behind me. But I figure with the anti-vaxxers and the COVID deniers, I'm probably more like 60,000th. And I got a cool idea for my Zoom page. I think I am going to not use zoom in the title because they are not all on zoom. Something screen or virtual. But thanks for the ideas! I am going to use a graphic of a laptop for the whole page. Then the bottom will have a flap that flips up like the keyboard part of the laptop. I found some clipart online that will work. I am going to try to find something hand drawn though to look more elfish. My fake it til you make it is really starting to work. I'm actually excited about this!

That's cool! If asthma isn't a particular risk factor, and it seems like it's not really, I'm last in line. Our old relatives are much nearer the front. I didn't really need the graphic to tell me that but it's kind of fun anyway.

I didn't really need the graphic to tell me that but it's kind of fun anyway. I am in front of homeless people and prisoners. I am just about halfway in my county based on my teacher status. That is interesting.
