On Friday I drove to work a drive that usually takes 20-30 min took 15-17 min. The streets are so bare it seemed like something out of the Apocalypse. I work in healthcare and deemed essential.
Usually my social calendar would be full and would be lucky to have 1 night off a week where I can stay home. Now I am staying home and not even thinking of going out. Social distancing at its finest.
We have been enjoying Netflix with wine shandies. We went to the local supermarket on Friday as well. Everyone was practicing social distancing. Every second cashier was closed. Customers were creating separation amongst themselves. Once again the toilet paper, Lysol wipes were sold out and the bread aisle was sold out. I don’t get it, hoarding needs to stop. Stores are opening up earlier to allow the vulnerable and elderly to shop for essentials. Good for them. However, hoarding is still going on with people who can shop later shopping during this time. Shame on you.
We are in unprecedented times everyone show compassion and kindness. Yes there are great examples. A husband and wife went out for dinner at a restaurant in Houston the meal cost $90 they left a $9000 tip for all the staff working there. A landlord in Wisconsin advised his tenants that they only need to pay $100 for rent in April. People offering to run errands for those less fortunate. Be kind at all times.
I emailed my property owner and ask for a $100 discount on rent for next month. I was rebuked swiftly and promptly. So much for them doing their part.
Right now I am felling healthy physically and mentally. This could change. In order to maintain our health the easiest way is to be kind, be supportive and check in with one another. We will get through this. It will take time. In the meantime everyday go outside at 7pm and applaud all the wonderful people in health care, maintenance, cleaning, truck drivers and emergency personnel organizations
#BeKindToEachOther
