Where to even start here. The coronavirus has taken over the US, as if that’s news to anyone by this point. I’ve worked from home for two weeks now and just SO thankful to have a job, am healthy and able to work.
I have always like spending time with friends, but now that we are all homebound, that is a bit more difficult. FaceTime, Zoom and Skype are now our only reasonable way to safely connect with friends and family. I’m just hoping that everyone else is taking this seriously. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that is not the case.
CDC now says people should be wearing masks, so don’t worry about me I’ve ordered two online as soon as that news came out. Figured that sure, I have things around here that could function as one, but figured I needed to have some extras. This is going to be goin on for a while. I wish I felt that the world would be back to normal (for the US at least) in a week or two, but unfortunately there’s no way that’s true. It’ll likely be June before we get to any real sense of normalcy.
It’s unfortunate because the AIDS/Lifecycle ride was scheduled to be the first week of June. I actually wasn’t going to ride this year in lieu of going on a beach trip with my parents and the rest of our family. Now it’s looking like that isn’t going to happen either. Sounds like most of my vacation time is going to be spent here at the house, in the back yard. Luckily I have a pool – they will be coming in a few days to open it up. If only I had a pool heater! I may have to look into having one of those installed if we don’t get some good sun to warm it up.
That said, I do plan to do the ride in 2021! I’ll just have to talk my mom into picking a different week for a family vacation. I think that’s going to be difficult since that’s also the week of their wedding anniversary.
Anyhow, I don’t know why I wrote this – just felt it had been too long since I wrote. Maybe I just need a nap.
