Friday the 13th, How About Some Hoorays?

I could really use some. This has been a tough week on quite a few fronts. For starters, one would think that having your air conditioner go out in November wouldn’t be too annoying, right? One would be wrong. It was 89 in my house for two days in a row. Like everything else right now, the process is slowed down—due to the pandemic—and the installation of the new one might take a while. Thankfully, Hurricane Eta is back out to sea and has taken all of her tropical, muggy nonsense with her, and it’s a much more tolerable 82 in here.

Mine? Monday’s news from Pfizer. I know that news by press release isn’t always something to get excited about and that it’s not quite yet statistically significant, but a vaccine that is 90% effective is quite hopeful. If we have one solid vaccine candidate in the pipeline, there are likely more. For every vaccine we have going into production, that’s less pressure on one supplier and a better chance that we will have a good fit for every person. I will take that news and hang onto it.

Normal life is still quite a ways away, but if stick to the guidelines and do our best to flatten that curve as much as possible, more of us will see its return.

On a smaller, more personal note, my boss sent flowers for my eight-year “work-a-versary” at FeedBlitz. They’ve brightened up our dining room and made my two-year-old very happy. I should probably take note and buy fresh flowers more often.

Remember as we head into the coming weeks that it’s ok to turn off the news. It’s ok to put on your blinders when you need to and to focus on the little things. So, in light of that, I’m inviting you to share your Friday hoorays. What good things have happened in your corner of the world?

What have you accomplished?

What have you seen?

What is keeping you going?

Sharing is caring!

    Friday the 13th has never been a concern for me, only something to chuckle about how others fear it so much. Anyway, I was able to get another Cortisone injection that will help my right leg work better without so much pain. My husband is my ace in the hole, always encouraging me with loving statements. At 74, I feel so blessed to be able to do all the things I want or need to do, even if it takes 3 times longer than it did 20 years ago. God Blessed me on Friday the 13th, just like ever other day.

    I practiced gentle tenacity in getting paid for a contractor job done 3 mos ago and was not getting returned calls. Got a little creative to find someone else in the company and, lo! Got paid, Hallelujah.

    Am staying in with some new coloring books and gel pens and going to enjoy it.

      Congratulations! That is definitely something to be proud of in normal times and even more so now when everyone is so fearful about what’s coming.
      There is definitely some joy in a quality pen! My colleague has turned me on to these. They are probably the only pens I’ve ever used until they’ve run out of ink.

    I dressed myself and got myself to work – all on my own! I will call that a win. 🙂

    Well, some wouldn’t call the way I dress a win, but who needs those haters anyway?

    Congrats on the work anniversary – and the flowers.

    My micro-preemie grandson just hit 4lbs last night. Until he comes home, I can’t meet him in person. So I am doing all I can to stay healthy (in my job at a college!) to be ready!

        thank you! He’s a blessing to all of us in our year of very much sadness. God is good.
