Day 7 of COVID 19 (As to my news about it)
As Saturday night turns into Sunday morning I sit here being cozy with the dogs. It's raining outside. I think about how things have changed so much in the span of one week. Life is so precious to me, and I do hope it continues to be this way. I care about every living creature, small, tall, large, and all.
The news of this virus has spread across the globe with red dots all over the world map. I tried to prepare but not panic. I'm down to one roll of toilet paper, no hand sanitizer or wipes. I tried to find some yesterday but to no avail. I only searched a couple of places and decided to stop. The fear of catching the virus overwhelmed the thought of no toilet paper.
A friend is bringing me some on Monday. Ah Monday will roll around and where I once thought of it as dreaded Monday, I now welcome with open arms. I have one more trip into the office to sign out for the computer equipment, and work from home.
I've been researching hydroponic gardens on the Internet. Hopefully, I will get one started soon. I was going to try for my own hand sanitizer but there is no alcohol either. So that's out. I've watched movies on Netflix. Cleaned the house most likely more than ever. And I've thought about all this.
The one thing missing is kindness in the world for each other. As I spend hours alone this weekend, I talk to the pups. They just star at me with wide eyes thinking, has the old lady finally gone crazy? I just laugh at them.
I decided I would write down thoughts on a Journal of sorts about all the things that come to mind. I will continue to do this. It seems cathartic.
I keep coming back to kindness. Love. How we show we care for others in times of need. Be kind to one another those of you reading this. CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING. Care about how all this happened. Read your history. Take a stand. Look inside your heart and ask yourself why you don't care. Many don't. You don't care because...ask yourself that question. You should care not only about your family, and friends but everyone who is going through this. This is happening all over the world.
Do the things that you can do to make a difference. Try not to panic. That's a tough one. Time for another movie on Netflix.
Day 7 of the Apocalypse.
Watch Shirley Valentine - she has been talking to walls and rocks for 30+ years:
Try talking with your fellow agnostics on the phone.
I have to admit that on day 2 of lockdown I'm finding the house and town too dead sounding so a cd is loudly playing cheerul folk music.
Medical people are saying dogs may be able to catch it. Stay away from dogs. How were you able to get tested? What state do you live in? What symptoms did you present with?
I really hope you feel better soon.
I do not have the virus but I am highly susceptible. This was just Day 7 and my thoughts. My pups won't give it to me. I have heard this inaccurate. However, thanks for you kind words.
I DID NOT!!!.......dogs ,,,,,fer petes sake........
I keep thinking this is some sort of dream........You are all playing along.......
Yea well. I pick up my computer from work tomorrow. I'm pretty sure its happening ....
I read many caring thoughts here amidst careless urges to spew objectivist darwinist narcissism....I look into my 2 cats Kiti 7 and Laila 10 their eyes are always mystified by my words yet looking out windows for the motions of Iowa springtime wishing I am chosen for love on this 68th birth anniversary of mine.... am I the only one who encourages others to remember mom and her labors to give us all life ? That is my definition of our Feminist Atheist birthright....only possible from woman and nary an alleged gawd part of the birth day
