My 2022 theme at the moment is Leftovers. As in making sure that none of the food I had left over after our Christmas feast goes bad. Which feeds into my main theme for 2022: Growth.
I'm using the year to build upon some stuff I started doing last year and finally getting around to doing/investigating some things that have bothered me for years. My goal is to dial back the reactive-ness and save my breath and energy for more proactive ventures, which in this year means getting into better shape for the sailing season this spring (especially after my curremt tour on Leftovers Duty), finally unlocking the (to me) esoteric secrets behind music performance and music theory, and dusting off some older projects as a workbench for expanding my professional life into some new directions. And retiring the "well, actually" fellow who's grown in influence since the start of COVID.
I'm trying to get a new house built. My plan is to have a recliner, a TV, a fully loaded Kindle and a golf course and sushi bar within golf cart range.
I had the Moderna booster Dec. 17th. I had the J&J at the end of March. I put off the booster because I worried about feeling sick and I have commitments so it had to wait. I have avoided covid so far even as I watch all my neighbors and many friends get it. I was lucky and only had a sore arm after the booster. I hope you are feeling better quickly and thank you for today’s post. I have shared it and hope people take the time to read it. You shared a lot of my feelings about the last 2 years. One thing is certain, God’s got this. Be safe and be well.
I have been boosted for awhile. All three shots were Moderna and I had zero problem with any of them. I had much more problem with my old lady flu shot.
A couple of nites ago woke up with a sore throat. In the morning I had a stuffy nose and was fatigued. By evening I was fine. Did I have covid? Who knows? I probably would have gone for testing if it persisted or if there were any tests around. There aren't so why worry?
My three covid info guru's are Gottlieb, McKary, and Jha. None of them work for gov't so they aren't as pulled by politics as some of the others including Fauci.
I plan on nesting until Spring and then cutting loose. My new digs should be finished sometime in March and the sun will start to return and then I'm all done with pandemics.
Steve, I haven't been following the Covid developments because I'm sick of the fighting about it from both ends. Maybe that's why I haven't seen anything about the disease being neurological rather than respiratory in nature. What you pointed out sounds interesting. Would you mind expanding on that in a future article?
How can a respiratory virus switch off our sense of smell and taste in an hour's time span, and keep it off for a month? How can it destroy some people's lungs but leave others symptom free? How can it create "brain fog" (documented symptom) and "long COVID" far after the disease is no longer detectable in a body? Why do I not sleep well since October 2020 when I got COVID? What kind of virus does that? It's not a flu or some respiratory disease. It's something else, and I think from the symptoms it needs to be categorized as something neurological.
Thanks, Steve. The article doesn't really answer any questions, though. I wonder how much more they've learned since Sept. of 2020. If it were anything significant, surely we would have heard about it somewhere.
I wish I had the answers or could find them. I don’t think the medical administrative state wants us to have some of those facts until they can candy coat them. They understandably worry people will form conspiracy theories. But slow rolling it…forms conspiracy theories!
"The government lies to us constantly. It’s made of politicians and behind-saving civil servants at the executive level, where the media is fed."
Thank you! That's been my premise for years. As you and David have pointed out, that fact makes it difficult to pick someone to vote for. I've learned to live with it and try to vote for immediate results because I do not see a bad trend changing any time soon.

That sounds very excellent.

Good questions.
It can be two things at once
