Meh.

I suppose I feel better today. Woke up around noon. Still congested & stuffy as per course the last 5 freaking weeks. Definitely feeling the Big D. Horrible dreams. One where Harley went out to an icy pond and fell through and we were too far to rescue him. That’s the ONE I remember. I’m glad forgot the rest, but there were more.

I did nothing today. Seriously. Well, that’s not true. I delved into the guts of my blog and cleaned out the categories and did SEO work. Thanks (no thanks) to seeing my friend Colleen post about doing this work, I took a peek and several hours later, well, it’s time for bed.

One thing I notice, I’m losing my patience. I know I needed to take a step away from Twitter, I was spending toooooo much time engaging and getting frustrated. I’ve been scanning the newspapers though. I also scroll through the neighborhood Facebook page to make sure content is relevant and delete crap people post. And I’m getting more frustrated with every “interaction” I see others posting about.

  • It’s not ok to throw plastic gloves on the ground. It’s also not ok to take a photo and post it on th neighborhood page, for what? To get people commenting? C’mon.
  • It’s not ok to hang out at stores and go shopping. How the hell do people not know this by now? If you are out more than once a week you are doing it WRONG. (For the most part, I’m sure there are exceptions.) And if you have kids old enough to stay at home, let them stay at home while shopping, groups of people together in stores? REALLY?
  • It’s not ok to hang out with just a few people who also haven’t been hanging out with people because of whatever reason. Each person is in contact with other people in the community. This is how the virus spreads and why we are supposed to be sheltering in place.

Suddenly in our small town area the “number” jumped from 1 confirmed case to 8. DO YOU REALLY THINK THERE ARE ONLY 8 CASES IN THE AREA?

My head swims in frustration. I’m losing my patience over the ignorance of others. It’s not a pretty look for me. I should learn to be more tolerant.

But all I can think about is the fact that PEOPLE ARE DYING. And after this weekend, where just a few people went to a few more places out —- how the numbers are going to jump even more.

I’ve been freaking home and sick for 5 weeks. And I consider myself incredibly privileged and blessed and lucky to not have to go out in the world and just stay home to rest and get better.

Not everyone can say the same.

My heart is racing and my blood pressure rising just typing this post. Be better people. BE BETTER.
