I am isolating at home, which I actually had been doing since I had a bout with the regular flu, which morphed into bacterial pneumonia. (Too much information for you, probably.)
This time is teaching me a lot about how much we need each other. We never know what is ahead, but this nationwide, worldwide lockdown was certainly not anticipated. I have it easy, but I have a lot of hand-wringing for all those I love and everybody else too!
After Trump’s feeble grasp of the situation and his failure, it is hopeful to see all the rest of the people in charge getting it. I read somewhere that they have taken over, and he is just like a bystander, — but one, of course, who misleads and lies and makes things worse. The governors and mayors have stepped up, as well as all the businesses and sports and cultural groups who have cancelled events with large crowds. I think there is hope that this huge “lock down” will allow the virus spread to slow, allowing treatment and everything else needed to meet the crisis.
I am grateful for television (!!) the web, the phone, my dogs, and my “housemate/helper” Eduardo, waiting to hear the date and time for his immigration interview for permanent residency.
And now, “from daughter Cully in LA, passing along some dark humor –always seems to help in any situation….
There is a new drink – The Quarantini, like a martini except you drink it at home alone.”
Thinking of you Judy! The girls have “remote learning” this coming week and spring break the next. It’s all new territory, but we are taking it one day at a time. Take care and keep updating us on how it’s going with you!
