Hanging In There

I feel safe at home. I feel the most in danger in grocery stores. Shopping is no fun anymore. We are stocked up on most everything we need, except cleaning supplies. Stores have been wiped out. I do have bleach and a bottle of alcohol and plenty of soap. We're good on toilet paper. Didn't hoard, but we have enough.

My hubby has never been the stay at home type, but even he is better at it now. The good thing is we are allowed to walk in nature, as long as we do the social distancing. My hubby's job is deemed essential, but all overtime is gone and his regular hours are cut. No compensation for that, either. So we take advantage of his extra time off and go for walks, when the weather cooperates.

I'm handling it fairly well. I am stressed, though. Try not to be. Concerned for family and friends and hubby and myself. Thankfully hubby's work sent all office people home (work from home) and spaced the workers on the floor far apart, so when hubby works he isn't around anyone else.

The speed at which this world has changed is mind blowing. There is a dizzying amount of compassion, advancement and also stupidity and poor-ass leadership.

I spend a lot of time with my plants. I text my daughter. I miss her. Haven't seen her in over a year. On a good note, their new house is almost ready for inspection. I nibble too much. Didn't I mention stress....

It's a sunny day, but hubby is sleeping. We did sit on the patio in the sun for a hour. The breeze was cold, though. That's about all I have to say right now. Take care and stay healthy.

The World Is Upside Down

2020

The year the world stopped
The year we all went home
The year we hoarded
We were the worst
We were all afraid
Global pandemic
No immunity
No vaccine
Quarantine
Shortages
Sickness
Sadness
Death

Hope
Recovery
Global effort
Race for a cure
Social Distance
Race for supplies
Companies retool
Race for a vaccine
We faced ourselves
The year we shared
Government stimulus
The year we stepped up
And fought for a better us
