My company already had their Christmas gathering last week in person.  It was a lot of fun, and no covid cases 8 days and counting.

 

Some good news:

An at home treatment got authorization...so maybe in 2022 will be the year it does become like the flu or cold.

I work Christmas.

 

But seriously, my co-workers are wanting to have a NYE gathering and while I don't mind being around them, I'm not sure yet. 

 

I am vaccinated and boosted, but I know I am planning on going out dancing for NYE, but where I am going is one of few places I go here where they ask to see a person's v card so I don't mind going there. 

 

I know I don't a repeat of last year when I dozed off 10 minutes before midnight. lol.

20 Dec. 2021 from head of WHO:
"But an event cancelled is better than a life cancelled. 
It’s better to cancel now and celebrate later, than to celebrate now and grieve later."

It is true. We are at the point where the suffering by those who have made the responsible decisions like getting vaccinated, getting boosted, wearing masks, washing hands regularly, and being smart about their social interactions have paid a much higher price than many of those who have not. That is what is so wrong - it is like being in a group project where not everyone pulls their weight - some of the lazy and irresponsible pay little, while some pay with their lives. 

One thing is certain: lower quality of life is a very real thing. 

This road is long and I am hopeful that Omicron may prove to be milder in actual symptoms, which could hasten the end of this hell. I am also hopeful that at home medication treatment will expand. 

But do I think NYE in Times Square moving ahead is a smart decision...No. It is not. 

In the meantime, everyone needs to stay safe and stay well.

    • If the show was interested in tying in one of the three prime time specials in the 90s, the smarter choice probably would have been Night Sins from 1993. Night Sins was the ushering in of Titan Publishing, the first mentions of Kate Roberts coming in to run it, plus it had involved Jack retyping a manuscript he had found in the new house he and Jen moved into... which ended up being a thinly veiled story written by Kate about her dalliance with Bill Horton that produced Lucas. However, I doubt the writers were even thinking about the prime time episodes when deciding to name the manuscript One Stormy Night.  I also don't see Stephanie being the one that would be writing it.  The current actress playing Stephanie seems to play a more passive version of Stephanie vs the previous takes by Shayna and Shelley..imho. Javi is cute... much too good for Leo.  He can do so much better.
    • I might've gone after someone like Jed Allan, or even Donald May. Though they're very different.
    • Same.   Looking forward to seeing what I missed later.
    • Question for all: Who would have made a good Mike recast after Stewart departed?
    • I think they did. Again, it is not an either/or proposition for most of the audience so far. Most don't feel the need to stan one or reject the other.
    • KKL on Bold Live on May 1st. Details here  
    • I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.
    • LOL now this sells it for me!  I can't wait to watch later tonight!
    • I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)
    • Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up.
