I am old already

 I heard another grandmother say "I'm already old, so I can't die young."

I made it out of the house to pick up a dinner meal. My taste buds still are affected by the darned antibiotic, so it didn't taste all that good. Oh well. 

I woke up this morning feeling like I'd come through a long dark tunnel...this particular infection has really knocked me for a loop. It's not over yet, but it is confined to my mouth. So the rest of me kind of works ok.

I had to stop myself from turning cartwheels.

If you believe that, I'd like to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn.

When I was in the Dr. office last week, my oxygen level was 87 with my mask on. I took it off and my pulse ox was  eventually 95, where it usually is. So I'm aware I'm walking around with a lessened amount of oxygen feeding my brain when I wear the KN-95 mask. I've figured out how to blow air out under the chin when nobody's around. Why do I get so mad when I see people wearing one on the mouth but not their noses?

I feel responsible for everybody.

That just came out when I complained to a man that he didn't have his nose covered.

Not my photo of driving on Old Hwy 70 after the Snow Storm Izzy...it was  pretty cold for a day or so, but most roads were clear after 2 or 3 days.

Our second snow was just an inch at most...and when these walks had been salted, it seems the wind blew the snow off them. 

No direct sun hits my porch or little grassy area...but the temperatures were in the 40s the last couple of days.

It's Black History Month in the US, so I'm looking forward to learning about more Black people and how they've contributed to our lives. I loved someone saying Black women helped us land on the moon.

Well, as you can see, I don't have much on my mind, which is just humming along in all directions! As I mentioned in a couple of comments yesterday, my family members who had covid have all recovered, saying it was mainly a bad cold. So glad that's all it was for them.

Today's quote:

There is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy. 

-Thomas Jefferson, third US president, architect, and author (13 Apr 1743-1826)

And in case you didn't know, Virginia, where he lived, has a distinct sense of it's own aristocracy!
