This Is Our Covid Life

                                               

                                 May 9, 2020 to May 15,2020 

Woke up to a dusting of snow.  May 9th. Snow.  You read that right.  Crazy year for sure. Schools continue to disappoint -- it's always a focus on why we can't do this because.... I wish the world would start to shift to  -- Here's the plan. Let's try this.

Spent Mother's Day cooking an enormous batch of fried rice with family... always a fun time.

On the political front...  In spite of what Adam Schiff continues to say -- there is no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia on anything.  "The truth will out." Also on the political front... Pelosi suggests voting for her latest bill and reading it later.  Does she listen to herself?

In personal news, my local grandson is now taller than I am having grown about 8 inches in the past year.  Now that is a growth spurt.

In an effort to survive, a small restaurant in town opened for sit down inside business rather than take out only and of course a person who some might describe as a control seeking, virtue signaling asshat reported them and they were threatened with fines and headed toward shutdown shortly thereafter. So much for live and let live.  Alas -- some are strangers to tolerance of others with whom they disagree. Some things never change. It's sad.

There are serious issues with mail-in voting.  I personally received two ballots in the mail after calling the Election Office to have my name removed from the mail-in list. I shredded them with great dramatic flair. It's not a very tight system.  Dangerous for election integrity.

People are finding it difficult to leave Michigan with a Cruella de Ville type character in charge there. People are beginning to reference Michigan as a police state. One can get arrested there for taking a ride to get out of the house for a few minutes.

Went to the store with my local grandkids to get paper plates, party hats, etc. for a small family surprise party for their mom's birthday that was a month ago.  Who's counting? Belated Birthdays are fun too. Days run together. My grandson mentioned that they had not been to a store in two months.  We were masked -- to avoid confrontation with and to be respectful of the covid fearful.  Once again -- thankful I don't live in Michigan.

There is now color coding of geographic areas.  Yellow is relatively a good color to be as we struggle to hope that the world will get back to normal sooner rather than later. This is our Covid life.  Not a fan.
