Fake News

A full week back to work, 8-5. Everything is opening up at an alarming pace. I find myself shopping for the campus & I’m the only one wearing a mask.

It’s a really strange feeling being back full force. We have all this protocol set up with few people actually following. Back to the uncertainty. No one really know how the campus future will unfold. It’s something new everyday. With our great state opening everything early we now have a significant rise in positive cases. Bekah and I are still playing it safe and not going out. Trust me, I long for a little interaction. I would love to dine out and maybe have some happy hour. Guess what, we are not. I’m at risk, she works for a nursing home. It’s not worth it. It’s like, everyone gave up. I have a couple friends that are still treating this seriously. I get the need to get back to normal, but seriously did anyone really think normal was so normal? It might have felt that way due to conditioning. That’s a rant for another day. In truth, I kind of miss my office in the kitchen. I miss seeing the same neighbors walk dogs down the street at the same time everyday. I miss my walks. I miss my dogs. Maybe I miss my cat. I think I’d have been better if we had waited a month longer. As Leroy said to me Thursday: “This is f***ing bull**** that we are back this early.” I tend to agree. While the campus is still pretty much dead, it is bull****!

I will say by the time Friday arrived I was bloody exhausted and ready for an adult beverage by 5. It had been a long week. Bekah was with her sister, she had the entire day off and was going to have a slumber party. I had the house to myself and I probably needed the quiet. Just this week we had 26 new cases of COVID 19. It’s reaching record highs all over the state and everyone is out & about like all is back to normal. I think I’ll poor myself a drink and conclude this weeks blog. Sorry for the somber tone I held.

NOTE: I skipped last weekends blog. I have yet determined if I’ll continue with them. They started as a means to deliver me from boredom. Things are still fairly boring but the weekends no longer are my most active time. Who is reading this anyways?

This was Sunday brunch. Chorizo huevos con papas. A delight, for sure.
