#256 - Don't Like Canceling Good Things

Morning News

We've been at the cabin without a TV and now we're home. There is way too much news to keep up with. Yesterday Trump spent 46 minutes talking about election fraud... claiming that the last 4 years has been "like living in hell." Shouldn't he be talking about vaccines instead? 

Yesterday Trump didn't talk about Covid. That's crazy because in the U.S., over 100,000 are hospitalized right now. Yesterday, U.K. announced they have just approved Pfizer's Covid vaccine. 

Today's News

This morning we learned that the mayor of Los Angeles is telling everyone to cancel everything. Oh dear. People don't like wearing masks, so they're really not going to like being told to cancel everything!

Now I just heard that the CA governor has announced stay-at-home orders for many regions. I just talked to my dad in MO and they have more issues with staff testing positive at his assisted living. Things are not looking good.

Canceling Weddings

We recently got this sad announcement in the mail. We had not planned on attending this out of state wedding, but yesterday, I sent the gift and well wishes.

I'm so glad this young couple made the smart choice, to cancel the large gathering. It looks like we'll be able to see the wedding virtually. It still makes me sad. This is not a dream wedding.

Canceling Showers?
​
This has been a year of cancelations. I also learned this afternoon that my daughter and her husband will not be able to move into their house on Dec 24 as planned.

That was already 2 months after what they had expected. Now, they are hoping to move   into their new home mid January. Heidi will be 8 months pregnant. They are staying in an Airbnb and had already asked us to hold off sending Christmas gifts. It's all too complicated. 

And how about that Zoom Baby Shower in January? Everything is complicated! I want so badly to fix things and make it all easier.

But at this point everyone in our family is well. We are closer to having vaccines available. I need to be grateful.
