A very COVID Christmas with Four Snow Globes and a Vaccine campaign.

This post brought to you in celebration of RantWoman's hitherto underappreciated ability to see 4 snow globes when there are only two snow globes present.  Yeah Strabismus, double vision without even having to drink alcohol!

Snow Globes:
the visual meme
 of the year

RantWoman's snow globes have now gone to zoom Meeting for Worship twice. There was only silence both times. Friends found the image of lighted glitter swirling around miniature Christmas trees centering. RantWoman is grateful. The first case due to phone connections, there was no visual only the image evoked by RantWoman's words. 

In the second case, RantWoman did not get her act together in time really to go use the computer, but RantWoman quickly lost patience about making any visual sense of things on her phone. So RantWoman turned on the video, carefully positioned the snow globes so that both she and anyone seeing RantWoman's video could watch the snow globes.

    And it would not be a week without mention of COVID COVID #COVID!

First a big shout of gratitude for people RantWoman knows who are in line to get the vaccine.

Next a snapshot of matters of faith and the Corona Virus vaccine. RantWoman doubts she has very many readers at all for whom this article will resonate. However, RantWoman is heeding a call to deliver it regardless.

Our Faith: Why Christians should take the CoronaVirus vaccine

Third, RantWoman has three friends, all in different states currently recovering from COVID. Two are close to RantWoman's age; one is much younger. One friend., Amazing Artist Friend, was already on the mend when she called RantWoman. RantWoman is relieved. RantWoman is also intrigued that Amazing Artist friend can work from home. Amazing Artist friend was expressing concern: she signed up for a double shift on Christmas day but was worried about stamina for the long shift. She also still has the COVID cough. Ummm....!

The second friend is HIV positive and has been positive for a long time. The good news which RantWoman should probably read up instead of relying on one anecdote: people who have no immune system somehow skip the second immune system goes crazy phase of COVID so this friend is on the brink of recovery. 

Now the third friend who, RantWoman is relieved to note, came to the blind prayer warriors call today. This person got sick but was very afraid of going to the hospital because besides being at high risk for COVID, she is also at extremely high risk for medical practitioners' #ableism! Maybe it was COVID brain fog causing her to alternate between "It's AWFUL. Don't get sick!" and "well, it's like the flu." Maybe God just has a weird sense of humor. 

Speaking of weird divine sense of humor, RantWoman's HIV positive friend needed to dish dirt on two nice Catholic guys we both know. They are still married to each other and very happy being Catholic so they do not consider themselves gay anymore. Go figure. Or maybe not. 

In the meantime, wash hands. Wear masks.

In Light and Faithfulness

PS: the world may be trying to tell RantWoman to slow down and chill out. This yea'r Christmas presents included a long fuzzy hooded purpl bathrobe, a lavender and flax seed pillow, lavender body wash and epsom salts. No way would RantWoman have thought to buy the latter presents for herself so RantWoman is going to have to practice enjoying them!
