One of my weird obsession is watching the sky for the weather forecast, sometimes watching the Weather Channel on TV is much better because they feature the whole, complete weekly forecast.
Long time ago, weather is very unpredictable...not anymore in our generation because of modern science and modern technology life is better and predictability sets the trend.
Nobody will be called "witch" nowadays when even the strongest typhoon, heavy storms and hurricanes can be traced withing far distance of a landfall or before it hits the earth's surface.
Daytime & nigh time temperatures are also recorded by meteorologists and then broadcast on TV Weather Channel.
Even what happened in the sky at night, the meteor showers and maybe all the alignment of stars and how many days of sunshine and how many days of low precipitations leading to downpour. Meteorologists also can measure the height of the ceiling of the sky and clouds through the weather balloon experiments.
It's gonna be a lovely day today. Keep your fingers crossed.
Husband went shopping for gifts to wrap and I went shopping two days ago with him at Walmart. We went too early to have that convenience of shopping and of course we followed all the required protocols. The last time I went out shopping was last March 2020 because just like you, fear is one of the factors that keep you away from all the troubles of the pandemic. I wore mask of course, using the KN95 mask ($5 each), not the surgical mask (is much cheaper). Though KN95 mask is unflattering mask makes you looked like a duck. LOL. You can breathe better with this face mask than the surgical mask. We brought our own hand sanitizer.
I noticed that my husband is so used to wearing mask. Well, simply because he is a contractor and he wears mask N95 whenever he spray paint using that industrial paint spray and when he's doing pressure washing, carpentry and renovation project. While, I had problem wearing it for over 30 minutes. 35 minutes and I ran immediately out of the department store and breathe the cold winter air. Now I know why some people are complaining that they have problem breathing. It's true that you will grasp for air for the long duration of wearing a face mask. I think if you wear face mask for over an hour you will have a hard time breathing. There will be difficulty and you might end up sick.
I was able to buy what I want and that's it, no more extra browsing. Paid all the items and off we go straight home.
Gift wrappers are ready even before last week.
Then the wrapping of gifts begin...
I don't have enough box that I have wrapped two items in one box. Some small items are then placed in the Christmas stockings.
Not enough? I think some people will just receive cards. lol.
Sorry, but if only the pandemic scare is not the culprit to our shopping and to our celebration of the Yuletide season then life much better to bear with.
I wish this pandemic will soon be over and everything will turn to normal once again and we have to stop alienating ourselves.
Advance...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
