The Social Series

 

Questions about my social life and making friends come up often at Joubert conferences, from both parents and individuals.

I was thinking about some of them the other day, so I wanted to write a few posts based on some of them.

I haven't written many posts like this since the beginning of the pandemic, so it should be interesting. And appropriate with the school year starting.

Cheers!

Worst Kind of Werewolf

 

On nights like this, when the moon is full and the sky is clear, I go through some unpleasant changes. 

Nothing needing silver bullets and pitchforks, but I'll gladly accept a bottle of ginger ale and maybe and Advil.

Full moon conditions mess with the atmospheric pressure. For me, with tubes in my ears and reduced lung capacity, it's rarely a fun time. Headaches, stuffiness, and congestion can be common. Thankfully, it never lasts long.

Cheers!

Whatever It Takes

 

Those four things have been the pillars of my existence for the last sixteen months. Even with more and more places and opportunities opening back up, I'm willing to keep my "COVID survival items" for a continued amount of time.

I'm feeling the same way about newly proposed vaccine passports and COVID booster shots. It's just another piece of ID (have several already), and another needle (had three in the last year alone!). 

If having this stuff is what it takes to be able to board a train to Toronto for a comic convention, fly to Nova Scotia to see my grandparents, or drive across the border to northern New York for some sweet tea and Peanut Butter Crunch, then bring it on I say!

At this point, we should all be willing to do whatever it takes to help each other, keep healthy, and end this.

Cheers

People Are Good...Or So I've Been Told.

 

Things still seem kind of awful and crazy out there, Blogverse, so here's just a brief, friendly reminder (to myself, mostly) that people in general are still pretty good. 

Really, they are.

Cheers!
