The best laid plans of mouse and men...do apologize for missing two days worth of entries, but had my own scare here with this Corona Virus Pandemic. Started feeling a bit under the weather early in the week. No way to take my temperature as my thermometer was on the blink, could not find one anywhere locally, and the one I order from Amazon (that was in stock when they took my money) I got notice was back ordered until at least May. Did a Facetime with my doctor who order some prescriptions including a full range antibiotic. Spent Wednesday and Thursday feeling like shit and sleeping a fitful nightmarish two days...woke up this morning, and whatever I had I seem to be on the rebound, and HEADACHE FREE.
So there is no doubt where I stand...I hate and loathe Donald J Trump, his entire administration and the GOP. Saying they dropped the ball, saying they have made mistakes falls far short of the target...the group of them are guilty of crimes against humanity in what can only be called the Trump Holocaust, and yes I believe he is practicing a form of Genocide primarily aimed at Blue States as he seeks revenge for any and all perceived wrongs against him personally. Harsh judgement but well deserved, and when this is all over, when our populace is once again safe he and many others must be tried at the Hague and imprisoned for life without eligibility of parole, and when those found guilty pass they should be buried in unmarked graves at undisclosed locations.
My big accomplishment today...baked Banana Nut bread (two loaves), and got in a really good nap when I opted to skip the Trump Propaganda Press'er. Just enjoyed a piece with my evening cup of coffee, and resisting so far having a second slice.
On CNN they do stories about Americans stepping up and doing the right thing. Nyack is a very affluent community, but not everyone here was born with a silver spoon, so I have a special shout out to the Pizza Bistro on Broadway who has a sign in the window inviting anyone who is hungry but has no money to come in for a FREE SLICE...that folks is PAYING IT FORWARD. So, if you are thinking of ordering in during this Shelter in Place please think of ordering from them. In other food news...best drink deal in town...a full 32 ounce Margarita to go is available at Maura's Kitchen for just 16 dollars...order it with no ice, and salt for the rim on the side.
Little kid walking down my street holding his Dad's hand, both of them in mask and surgical gloves looks up and says, "Dad, why does the president hate us?" This is what and where Donald J Trump has dragged us to as a nation.
Today is day 18 of my being in lock down. A few walks on sunny days to get some fresh air, a couple of quick excursions down to our one small grocery on North Broadway, or down to Murray's for coffee creamer and another pack or two of smokes...I KNOW, I KNOW, I should give up that bad habit, but I love my coffee. Other than these few trips out my front door, not left my little basement apartment, with some days breezing by, and then others dragging on and on, the bad news on my doorstep sending me spiraling down deeper into a depression that is never far away. This constant feeling of dread hanging over our heads, that nagging what if I get the virus seeing all of us living with a fear that does not go away, a fear that has us looking with suspicion at everyone who crosses our path...where is their mask, how come they are not wearing gloves, what are they even doing outside their house, they don't even own a dog.
Knock Knock
GO AWAY, I don't want your fucking germs!
So a Virus walks into the bar and says,
"Can I get a Corona?"
To early for Corona Virus humor? If I don't laugh I'll start to cry, and that is not a good strategy at the moment. To many deaths, and far to many stories about beautiful people who are dying way to soon in life. To many news story about how we old people are being or will be denied medical treatments that could save our lives. How many of us are afraid to go to the Emergency Room, find ourselves wondering if we will die in the hospital, or be sent home to die alone, either way our families or friends unable to be there as we pass.
It's after eight, so think I shall close this up for the night. God's Speed everyone, stay safe, and please please SHELTER IN PLACE to save your own lives, and the lives of everyone else that crosses your path.
