Gotta Love Friday

Happy day everyone! Yesterday, the Ice Princess received her first Pfizer shot. Brave little girl made a TikTok video of it. The smile in her eyes and her thumbs up afterwards made me cry. Now she will be ready for her Bat Mitzvah and overnight camp in June. Today, my cleaning lady returned for the first time in 17 months. No masks and lots of hugging and kissing. She was impressed with how well we kept the house clean. Hubs bought me a load of flowers to plant, sigh, and an order of flip flops, dressy masks, and clothes arrived. What’s a girl to do? It’s Friday date night. I am one happy, happy lady. It’s so beautiful out, too!

@JamesHxstatic 2021 promised to be better than 2020. However, the last 1 and a half months have been very challenging. We have seen cases kind of exploding in India. Last year we were home bound, now even more so. Even a walk to the society park is a big no-no as of now.

Many are running away here, too. And the crazy thing is that the vaccine has been around for a long time. They only had to tweak it for Covid-19. People are idiots.

@Belexhanns The world is full of idiots. It's a very sobering thought. There is nothing we can do to make them smart.

@DianneN I'm sorry to say that they are really idiots; they are saying that the government wants to kill them

That's great she has her vaccine. I'm confused. I thought it was only boys, I see that's changed, and I thought the age was 12. I'm glad you impressed your cleaning lady. I'm glad you're safe without your masks now. Happy planting. Happy Friday Date Night.

Any child 12 years old now. I still insist on wearing my mask in public. The no mask rule goes into effect May 19th, but I don't trust it. Still must wear them on planes and trains. Thank you!!!!

@just4him True. You haven't been vaccinated. I plan on wearing my mask anyway except around family.

@DianneN I heard about it on the news this morning when I was at the laundromat. I will still need to wear my mask until they give the go-ahead for everyone to go without them. You're welcome.

It's a rotten shame that our children have to be threatened, by this hideous virus! She's such a sweetheart! And of course, brave on top of this. You and Hubs have a beautiful Friday date night, we're doing the exact same thing! Can you believe it, a date with my own husband?

The vaccine has been around for a long time. It just had to be tweaked correctly for Covid-19. Yes, she's brave. Now we won't have to worry about her summer. Hope our grandson can get it. Have a wonderful date night! Hubs just handed me my martini a bit early.

Being fully vaccinated is an awesome feeling. Now, you can get a vaccine almost anywhere it seems. I wouldn't allow my cleaning lady in my house, even though she was fully vaccinated, wore a mask, and gloves. If my own son wouldn't come inside, there was no way I was allowing her to enter. Our house doesn't have kids in it. lol

I just looked it up, at 12 I was still totally immature and mom didn't have a problem with that. Are mom's in your faith supposed to prepare their daughters for womanhood?

@rebelann I had a Bat Mitzvah, too, when I was 13. I just finished telling hubs what an immature little girl I was then. All I did was talk to friends and giggle. It’s a ritual. Mothers, schools, Hebrew schools, and society prepare kids for womanhood. In our society, girls will be girls until whenever. lol

@DianneN You know me. The hippy who wants to help people. One of my favorite Old Testament verses (or whatever) is Isaiah 58. It's about giving what you have to help others. Her art makes me smile. She is giving to the world.
