Covid-19 Days – 99

My sleep schedule is totally messed. I’ve been trying to catch Nogizaka’s 46 Hour TV since yesterday. I was up late last night, and caught a couple hours of sleep this afternoon. I’m here for the last day for this. I’m loving every minute!

For me, the first Nogizaka46 Hour TV pulled me totally into the Nogi fandom. It happened back in 2016 in place of their 4th Year Birthday Live in February of that year. It was the last big thing to see them as they were when I first became a fan. I think it was 36 members across only two generations. Nagashima, MaiMai, and Nanamin would be graduated by the end of the year. Third generation would be there by the fall. But just those 46 hours early in the year cemented my love for the group and for its members.

It looks like we have about another 5-6 hours left. Nogizaka will always make me smile.

Well this could’ve been done earlier into the self restraint and it would’ve been awesome. IT’S ANOTHER NOGIZAKA46 HOUR TV! Looks like I’l be up for the next 46!

Actually it started at 6 AM in my neck of the woods. There was break at 2 PM then started back up. Maybe we’ll get a sleep break sometime tomorrow morning!

What do you expect? A better post?

C’mon. I’m almost to 100 and I don’t know what to say anymore. It’s now or never.

NEVER!

Then what?

Again. Then what?

Is it this?

Is it that?

Can it be? It can’t. It will. It will be. Be. Been.

So long. So, so long. We can do it. If you be better, you can do it. If you work on it, you can do it. Stay safe and stay home. You can do it.

We’re back for the day. It feels like we’re winding down here on these posts. They were daily for the longest time. I missed only one or two days until I took the weekend off. I told ya. I hope you did have a good weekend. Did you?

So, the country has been opening up and getting back to normal. Restaurants, bars, other non-essential businesses have been allowed to open their doors for business. You can go, but sometimes you have to wait for others to leave, and other times you must stay 2 meters apart. But always, always wear a mask.

Yet, the rona is starting to return again. It most likely never went away. Please, remember we’re not out of this yet. You need to be better. Let’s all be better. Don’t let the rona win.

Here’s a post.

There’s a post.

Everywhere — A POST!

Ninety days. This is the longest I’ve kept this up. It’s almost a daily blog. I haven’t done something like this since a while ago… perhaps around the start of Link of the Day.

What better way to post, but as a commentary about this blog. It’s always the last resort for a topic. It’s also always the first resort! When in doubt talk about yourself. I’m hoping your not bored yet.

As my mom tells it, the room in which my dad died smelled of flowers about the time he passed. It was a hospital room so the bleach like smell disappeared replaced with flowers. Amazing.

My father died on this date twenty years ago. I still miss him dearly.

What would life had been like with him around for these past twenty years? What would we have been? What would we have done? Would life be the same, but with him around to add even more enjoyment? It has been so many years without his presence that I can’t imagine it.

The man was jolly. I try to be as jolly as he was. His laugh was great and comforting. When we were just toddlers he was our Santa. There was no need to believe in the bearded fellow from the North Pole, because he was always living in our house. That’s how jolly he was.

Twenty years ago, I was there by his hospital bed on his last night. It haunts me now as the next day he was gone. I wish I could’ve had more time with him. I would’ve loved to have someone to confide in more as I got older. Someone to seek advice from. My dad was very right in a lot of things he asked of me. That is until his last…

If your dad is still around, hug him for me. Cherish the time now. We only have a finite time with our loved ones. Let’s live it with gusto.
