Its been forever since I posted anything. This blog has been on my mind so I thought I would start to write again. I am very sure I am the only one reading it but that is just fine with me. I have been keeping a journal but that is filled with personal feelings about myself image and the lot. These blogs are different. They are about my life and the world around me.
We (and I mean the entire world) are in the midst of a pandemic. Yup..a freaking pandemic named Covid-19 aka Corona virus. It may have started in China or Italy. No one is too sure about its origin but its a nasty bug that has taken too many lives. At this point in time the world death rate is close to 150,000 with over 2 million confirmed cases. The whole world has been locked down. We cannot go to work unless you are an essential business (I am medical so I have been working). Some folks are working form home. Some poor folks are just out of jobs because businesses had to close. The economy is tanking and we are headed into a certain recession and a possible depression.
I almost feel a little guilty that my world has not changed as dramatically as some. I go to work daily. I see Amanda, Jesus and Alanna almost daily. My mom thrives even with her dementia. Shopping has been fairly normal for me with the strange exception that no one can find toilet paper or hand sanitizer. Lucky for me I have always been over prepared for events such as earthquakes and storms. I still cannot get used to shopping for just me and mom so I had an abundance of food and plenty of TP. I feel so deeply for those who are struggling just to get food and manage to pay the basic housing bills. So far I am lucky. Not sure it will hold out. Its been a month since lock down. If it goes on much longer I may not be able to say the same. We must practice Social Distancing..stay 6 feet apart. Wash your hands (I mean..do we really need to tell people that...YES). No public gatherings. No large crowds. No dance events ..I am so so so sad.
We must wear masks in public so I have dedicated a lot of sewing time to making masks and making sure everyone I love has plenty. I sent a bundle to the LBGTQ Center also. My grandchild Lith (aka Quinn) is making the slow transition from male to female. I am so proud of her for finding her true path in life at an early age and not living a personal lie. I know too many that have lived that lie for their family or were in denial only to regret not being themselves.
Wow this thing really rambled on...lots of topics. I will end nor now but promise to keep it up.
Be safe..Be strong.. I am here to hold your hand if you need me.
