First Caption Posted in 2021 .. It's Sweater Weather Out There!

Ironic that now, "you'll catch your death out there," has now been relocated indoors!

And I think it's long overdue. That old wives tail that you catch a cold due to cold weather was proven bunk many years ago, but those old wives kept harping on it. Yes, there is a tiny smidgen of 'truth' in it that perhaps shivering and stressing out your body in the cold weather could bring down your resistance like maybe 5-10 percent .. but it's bacteria and viruses that get you sick! At least THAT might be the one good lasting effect of the previous year .. that people sort of understand how exposure works, and the best way to not get infected is to not be in an environment where the particles will thrive, and aerosol molecules impact you through its viral load.

Anyway, long story made longer by my elaboration .. cold has no impact on getting sick .. end of story!

But that does lead to the beginning of this caption. I loved the fact that she is wearing a turtleneck, but literally nothing below her upper thigh. Now THAT is fashion sense, and not common sense!

Throw that revelation in, add the old wives tails that my mother and grandmothers would keep repeating, and finish it off with my aversion to sweaters (and anything with collars!) .. and it adds up to this caption.

I always try to throw in things that are relatable to me, and hope that they are generalized enough that they make a connection to others that read them. And in this case, I'm sure that everyone had some relative tell you the same thing I echoed in this caption. Plus, I threw in that topper about clean underwear. I know quite a few EMT's, and not one of them has ever said, "the horror! dirty underpants!" 

So on that note .. Welcome to 2021, population me. This year, I am gong to try to adapt and evolve as best I can, and make the best of the circumstances I've been dealt. Won't say that I won't be depressed or sad .. or anything else really. I am going to take it day by day. But I am going to try to rise above it all, with grace and move forward, while also honoring the past, and all those who aren't around to continue my journey. That is that way that it has to be, and I hope I'll have your support as I embark on the rest of my life .. living it as best I can, for myself and the loved ones I still have around.

Do stick around! I have no idea where I'm going, or the adventures that I'll pursue. Let's all be the best we can be .. our best selves, starting today. That is what we deserve. So sayeth the Dee!
