2020 enough said...

I was blogging every Sunday for a while. I was on track and then I fell and busted my rump and getting back up seemed to be a problem. I am sure there are many of you out there that may have had the same problem whereas the year 2020 has been (feel free to insert your own word here). The following are just a few that come to mind when I think of 2020 difficult, challenging and chaotic.  

Our new norm has become face masks, hand sanitizer, toilet paper hoarding, antibacterial cleaning product hoarding along with ordering everything online.  

 

My husband and I bought face masks, we bought an extra pack of toilet paper each time we bought just in case we couldn’t find it later and we bought stuff to make our own hand sanitizer in case we could not find it anywhere. We have become avid online shoppers as well and pros at curbside pick-up 

 

Fed-X, UPS and USPS workers we thank you for all the work and deliveries to our home! 

 

Our daily lives have changed. As we go out the door, we now make sure we have our keys, our wallet, our phone, our mask (and one extra in case we drop the one we are wearing) and hand sanitizer.  

 

I have heard so many complaints of individuals who think it infringes upon their rights to have to wear a mask. And maybe my opinion doesn’t matter to those who think that way, but I have a few questions for you. Would you like to be on a ventilator and maybe never come home? Would you rather have the virus and survive it and then have long term issues for which you can’t function the same way you used to? And how would you feel if your elderly parent was out shopping and someone didn’t wear a mask and they died from this horrible virus? Your actions have consequences. 

 

Look around your neighborhood and community you live in. I am guessing there is someone there who has either had the virus or has been affected by the virus. The virus is everywhere, it is just about opening your eyes. 

 

Enough said...rant over! 

 

As I type this in the end of 2020, I hope for a less difficult, challenging and chaotic 2021. I hope that each Sunday you will bring my blog up on your phone, tablet or computer and read what crazy I have to say for the week. It may be heart felt, it may be something funny that happened during the week or it may be a rant of sorts similar to this “2020 enough said” post.
