Fact: <\/strong>St. Nick was more generous than jolly.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>You probably already knew that the idea of Santa Claus came from St. Nicholas.\u00a0 The saint wasn’t a bearded man who wore a red suit; that look came much later.\u00a0 In the fourth century, the Christian bishop gave away his large inheritance to the poor and rescued women from servitude.\u00a0 In Dutch, his name is Sinter Klaas, which later morphed into Santa Claus in English.<\/em><\/p>\n

Before getting up this morning, I thought a lot about Mary’s career as an eye surgeon, and I asked her if she thought about examining Superman’s eyes.\u00a0 She expressed interest in my question.\u00a0 I thought this image was quite revealing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We walked the garden, and Mary saw her new watering wands and giggled.\u00a0 I plan to make gardening fun and not a chore; having the right tools is essential.<\/p>\n

We took the day off and did light work around the house; Thanksgiving is 100% put away, so we are ready for Christmas.<\/p>\n

We got several visits from Amazon Claus today, including a new Roomba.\u00a0 Our home is just too big for one to do the job, so I got us a J7+ which not only vacuums the place but it dumps the results into a bag automatically!\u00a0 iRobot OS powers your Roomba j7+ to clean the way you want.\u00a0 It avoids objects in its path and allows you to schedule multiple daily cleanings by continuously learning and adapting to your home; it also empties its bin, so you don’t have to.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The new Roomba will stay in the front of the house!<\/p><\/div>\n

The old Roomba will stay in the office and bedrooms.\u00a0 It will work out fine!<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, Mary got to feeling worse, so we took a COVID test.\u00a0 Now I am negative, but Mary is positive.\u00a0 We got ready in three minutes and headed for Urgent Care, but they were closed when we arrived.<\/p>\n

COVID has changed many things and made us question other commonly held beliefs.\u00a0 Thinking a mask is going to stop Covid-19 is the same as thinking that your underpants will protect everyone from a fart. Since everybody has now started washing their hands, the peanuts at the bar have lost their taste.\u00a0 They said that a mask and gloves were enough to go to the supermarket. They lied; everyone else had clothes on.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had an idea, let’s pretend to go on a quick vacation.\u00a0 Grab the laptop and a toilet seat!\u00a0 Where do you wanna go??<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary suggested that previously, I had better ideas!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary called her daughter-in-law, an ER MD, to get a prescription for the anti-virus pills.\u00a0 \u00a0Diane listened to Mary’s description of what was happening and suggested just staying home and hydrating, so we relaxed from panic mode.<\/p>\n

We hit the sack early and await tomorrow morning to make sure Mary is feeling better than today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
