One year ago today I first mentioned Covid in this blog
Technically, it would be tomorrow for one year because 2020 had a Leap Year. But I don't always believe in facts, so I am celebrating 365 days today.
Now, you may have noticed I do have a problem with numbers. I did day 1 on March 16.....so somehow, I have lost a few days. But it was on March 7 I first mentioned the virus.
We were not calling it Covid 19.....it was still a coronovirus, and I bet I spelled that wrong. We did not know a lot about it, other than it was going to disappear tomorrow and we should not worry about it.
Masks? I don't think they were being pushed at the time, although social distancing and handwashing was. I remember bringing home groceries and wiping all of them down with sanitary wipes...even the fruit.
Toilet paper was flying off the shelves, as were paper towels and disinfectant sprays.
Without a lot of help from the people who were supposed to be our protectors, we have managed to survive a full year of this. No one is happy, no one is comfortable, and I bet no one truly feels safe.
But we have made it this far.....and we will make it another year if we have to.
Jackie and I have had our second dose of Moderna. She was fine, but last night I felt queasy, very tired, was sweating and had chills. I went to bed at 11 and listened as the cuckoo squawked every 30 minutes until 3. After that, I don't remember much until 7:30, so it's possible I had a little over 4 hours of sleep.
Today....no caffeine in the afternoon, going to bed early, and hoping to sleep.
I will do my nightly talk with the Big Guy and I'll say a prayer for the 500,000 Americans whose deaths are attributed to Covid.
Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay smart.
Peace and Love
