Some days I have to release my inner Grouchy Smurf. Remember Grouchy? He hated everything.
Is it just me or is anyone else tired of every television commercial being about how "we are all in this together". I'm over it. I don't want to hear how proud they are of me for staying home or give me more instructions on how to wash my hands. Don't get me started on celebrities making this all about themselves. Claire Campbell, I don't want to hear how your law firm is here for us via teleconferencing options. That goes for you too every car dealership in Charlotte.
And another thing...I had to go on Facebook to pull up a church service for my parents last week. I was in shock at how many seemingly normal people believe conspiracy theories about the virus. I was also angered to read posts by numerous people saying that we need to get back to work and that the vulnerable people can just stay home. I'm so thankful that I gave up Facebook. Facebook makes me want to give up on people. Ugh.
I hope everyone had a nice Easter. Mom enjoyed watching Easter service on her couch with Blossom and me. Dad was still sick and in bed. I really, really, really hope that everyone can stay out of the hospital until things are closer to normal and restrictions are gone.
Please note the Dalmatian beside the TV cabinet. As you may recall, my dad found it in their storage room. He LOVED it and kept asking me if I could find another one. It took me weeks before I could tell him it is a toilet bowl brush holder. To this day, he still wants to find another one for the other side of the cabinet.
Scott just left to go to the grocery store for the first time in 2 weeks. I felt like I was sending him off to war. I asked him if he wanted me to douse him in holy water or put some garlic around his neck. He told me he would just walk around holding a giant cross in front of him. Life in 2020.
Finally, a meme that will only make sense in the year 2020.
Going to the grocery store does feel like going off to war. Empty shelves, and shell-shocked shoppers wearing masks. We can't use our own bags anymore in case we bring the virus into the store. Checkout is one huge line with a store employee at the front of it directing each person to a register as soon as it becomes free. On the plus side, many products that had vanished in the first week or two are back, although not in the quantities we had before. We finally have toilet paper.
ReplyDeleteSome people will believe anything, especially conspiracy theories. Facebook gives them a forum. I avoid it like the plague.
Let's hope that meme will only work in 2020.
