And there I was, boasting about awesome statistics before losing all steam on the blog…
I’m finding it hard to persist in the delusion that I have anonymous readers out there somewhere.
In any event, good evening, good people! I hope you’re all safe and well. These are crazy times.
My husband I essentially detect patterns for a living, and we can’t make any sense of this Covid-19….half convinced I had it back in February, the tiniest bit concerned I’ll die from it, and generally concerned for the well-being of the entire world…
After years and years of dragging our feet, my spouse and I created our last and living wills this evening. More than anything, we don’t want the one of us left (if it plays out that way) to have one more thing to worry about in addition to grief. And if it doesn’t play out that way, we’d prefer one of our loved ones to benefit from our collective years of toil rather than the state. Anyway….heavy stuff, thinking about who looks after your beloved dog, gets your shit when you’re gone and what happens to your remains! My heart goes out to everyone suffering loss at the hands of this pandemic or any other ‘normal’ killer. Life can be a real shit show.
On a lighter note, this lock-down has had some very positive impacts as well! It’s remarkable how people come together and let petty shit go when they’re forced to become aware of ‘real’ problems. Listen…I’d prefer we all carried on being selfish gits way too caught up in first world nonsense, but since nobody sought my opinion, I’m trying to see the bright side. I’ve heard from friends I haven’t spoken to in ages, and that has been a pure delight. We’ve had more appropriately distanced driveway interactions with our neighbors than we’ve ever had before. Strangers we pass when walking the dog smile and wave, and there seems to be a solidarity to humanity that you just don’t see enough. I hear countless tales of families playing board games every night after dinner together, and exercising some fabulous creativity to alleviate the boredom of being stuck at home together.
Far be it for me to make a lesson out of a disaster, but I do hope we’ll keep some of the good stuff when normalcy resumes. We could do worse…
Stay healthy and sane, my good people.
