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.

    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
