Blessings Among the Bleakness
On October 6th, 2020 I was diagnosed with PCOS. My Gynecologist decided she wanted me to have a test done to rule out any other possible health issues after I had a kidney stone for the first time (I'm 23). I was worried as I awaited the results and even more worried when I got a call from her office asking me to come in person to speak about the results. The first thought on my mind was Cancer, of course, because your mind travels to horrible places when your nerves get the best of you. When she said early PCOS, I was blank. I've heard of the acronym before but never knew what it stood for or what it entailed.

Holiday Card 2020
Happy Holidays! Welcome to the Brasher holiday card! Forget about Santas and trees, snowmen and elves, lights and ornaments. 2020 deserves none of the usual holiday cheer. Let us face it, Corona has been a game changer. Who wants to send out Christmas cards when they will probably be delivered late anyway? Why should we decorate when we will not be having any company? Same goes for wrapping presents. Who besides immediate family will be around to unwrap them? 2020 was full of poop and so is my holiday card this year. It will not matter if it delivered late since all it acknowledges is the new year!

Omar's Diary for December 2020
THE RED THING Leading up to Christmas Day there was much discussion amongst the Servants about the possibility of a new car arriving on the driveway of Omar Towers. If these discussions come to fruition, then I for one will be much relieved and dare I say “happy”. It will mean the “red thing” will be gone.

A Black Crow Taunted Me
In my younger days, I played golf quite a bit. As I’ve gotten older, my trips to a golf course have become infrequent. The last time I played was a year ago. I probably would have played since that time, but, of course, the coronavirus put a stop to that.

CAN'T CALL IN DEAD
Have you ever been to a funeral where there is one person in attendance that nobody seems to know? Well, I'm gonna tell you who that person is. He's the bill collector and he's there to ensure the guest of honor is actually dead. I know this because my brother-in-law Sonny would do it all the time. He worked for the Wegetem Collection Agency. If a person died owing the agency money, he would attend the funeral, walk up to the casket as though he was paying his last respects, and poke the body with a safety pin. If the body moved he would hand it a bill and simply say "When can we expect payment?" Sonny was very good at his job. He was promoted several times and eventually held the position of executive vice president. However, the last year on the job wasn't nearly so pleasant. He became a victim of the bottle and an embarrassment to the company. It all started when Sonny became impotent. His pecker wouldn't stand at attention anymore and viagra didn't help. He took it pretty hard when he would stay soft and started to drink constantly. His poison of choice was vodka and orange juice. Sometimes Sonny would come home so drunk that my sister Betty, to whom he was married, couldn't wake him in the morning to go to work. She was often forced to call his boss, Mr. Griswall, and tell him Sonny was too sick to get out of bed. This scenario repeated itself frequently and Mr. Griswell was impatiently getting fed up with it. He tolerated it only because Sonny had been such a dedicated employee for more than fifteen years.

Santa's TP Sleigh
What does everyone want for Christmas this year? Wouldn’t it be bundles of toilet paper? Right as Coronavirus cases flare up, more people go out to buy toilet paper and other essentials they will think they need for a long period of being stuck in the house, so the stores may possibly be out or just not have the nicest or softest toilet paper that people would like to have. The inspiration for this Christmas card came from the thought of several people sitting down to write Santa a letter and it to say, “All I want for Christmas is the softest toilet paper you can get me.” Then when Santa fills his sleigh with all of this cushion, he would not be able to stay awake during his flight. He is usually riding with toys and other cold, hard, and uncomfortable goodies that he can usually stay up with them pressing into his back, jolting him awake. This year though, he will have a harder time because of how cozy the toilet paper feels behind him.

Gunshots: “I was just minding my own business” a nurses tale
So I guess to start out with I need to introduce myself, sorta. Not too much because of privacy and all that. I guess I should also premise the fact that all my stories are true but the identity’s are being protected for all those involved, whether it be because of embarrassment or whatnot. Whatever floats your boat.
