JOIN ICE

Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,

I was concerned about Favorite Young Man and K last week because ICE was in their area. In the city where FYM works, ICE smashed a window on a vehicle, pulled out the driver and arrested her because she honked her horn. 

I texted him immediately to tell him he's still my baby boy and I was worried. He replied that the morons assholes pieces of shit (morons, assholes, and pieces of shit are my words, not his) the agents were probably downtown and the place where he works is outside of town. K said the school where she works was on high alert with all doors closed and an area prepared in case they need to hide children.  

We no longer live in the United States; we're in 📙hell.

Happily, our weather has been beautiful with highs in the low 80s and lows overnight in the 50s. It's excellent dog walking weather. I was especially proud of Princess as we enjoyed a long walk Saturday afternoon. She walked at heel perfectly the entire time. As we approached the neighborhood park, a vehicle backed up toward us. Princess watched, too, and let out a soft warning woof. She's such a good girl.

Saturday evening I went to a pharmacy for my flu shot and pneumonia vaccine (I already had the COVID vaccine in October). I started to feel tired and achy a few hours later. Flu shots haven't bothered me in years. I think I had a reaction because I got two vaccines at the same time. I needed a long nap Sunday afternoon. 

My arm also hurt more than usual after the COVID vaccine. But I'd much rather have some aches and pains than have COVID, the flu, or pneumonia. I've noticed how frequently pneumonia is the cause of death for older people. Diane Keaton is one example.  

We're expected to have a nasty flu season because of vaccine skepticism. Thanks a lot, Worm Brain Bobby. He's not a doctor. He doesn't have any expertise in healthcare. He cites disproven studies and even invents sources to back up his crazy vaccines-are-bad- for-you beliefs. Wouldn't you know 🟠 would want the one Kennedy in his cabinet who all the other Kennedys hate?

If you haven't gotten your flu shot, I hope you'll get one now. 

My upcoming long weekend will find me getting the Christmas tree up and decorated. Princess and I will have good times together, too. She loves turkey, as do I. We have a Costco heat-and-eat Thanksgiving dinner in the refrigerator. Yum!

Infinities of love,

Janie Junebug
