CORONA VIRUS - PHASE 2 - SICK AND TIRED

What day is it?  I'm confused.  I'm fat.  I'm sick and tired of this Corona Virus!  Seems like the powers that be are gettin' ready to open a few things up.  Do we go or do we stay?  That's the million dollar question.

Today I'm hankerin' to get out in the fresh air and get some relief.  Things have gone downhill since day 1.  I think I need a little break from house arrest to clear my head. 

The government got all the small businesses excited about the Payment Protection Plan that was gonna save our jobs. Seems we're still in the time warp where the good 'ol boy system is still the King.  My bossman jumped in immediately to apply so as to save the jobs of our employees.  He's a good man and did everything right.  Was immediately met with the banks not knowing how the applications were to be handled.  Was this on purpose?  I wonder...since the BIG companies bled all of the money out of the program and the smaller businesses were mostly denied due to no funds left.

 Yep...I've now been laid off.  Now the government has a special unemployment provision for "laid off due to Covid 19".  Supposed to mean that we can be laid off due to CV19 circumstances and collect unemployment until things pass and we can get back to work...at the same job.  Gives the company a break in payroll without having to go under.  

Yay! I won't lose my job and won't lose my house while waiting out this thing.  So....benefit application filled out...time consuming but pretty easy.  There is a box for "laid off due to Coronavirus"....check!  Finish the whole thing and submit.  Paperwork is held up due to Coronavirus not being recognized as a valid reason for applying.  Finding out other employees are getting the same hold up.  WTF?

I guess they'll work this out...just waiting to hear something from somebody.  It's like waiting on the Zombies.

 Anyhoo...not gonna get any more stressed out.  Gonna make the best of what I have.  Gonna get out and about on the golf cart for fresh air and soul restoration.  It's my soul...and I'm gonna do it my way.

Gonna figure out what 3000 calorie dinner I'm cookin' for my crew tonight and hit the road.  The road to Main Street OD.  Gonna pick up the Pugster and head out.  If you see us out and about PLEASE wave.  We need to feel a connection to our people!

You should be able to recognize us...Pug will have a scarf tied around his face and a Mich Ultra in his hand.

If the rain comes before we get out I guess I'll just hang around the house and dance with the kids.  

Turn the music up Miss BayBay!

CORONA LOCKDOWN AND ME...NOT DOING SO WELL

Well...How y'all doin'?  Me?  Not so good.  North Myrtle Beach is on lockdown and I'm about to go crazy.    I've been by myself for almost 20 years and here I am...stuck in a 2 bedroom house with my disabled son, my granddaughter...and two needy dogs.  Not to say I don't love them all but dayam....this is too much togetherness for my sanity.  Keeping stocked up on toilet paper, meat and dog food is takin' it's toll.  I feel like the next person who screams at me from the bathroom to bring them TP will not live to tell the story.

Also...I can live on peanut butter alone  However my "kids" start asking "what's for dinner" by the time I get up in the morning.  I haven't cooked this much in many years.  Seems the only physical activity I'm getting is cooking and cleaning the kitchen.  Oh...and washing clothes.  How can you dirty up so many clothes when you're home all day....every day?

To save our sanity we've played about 197 games of rummy and the good part about that is the loser usually doesn't speak to the other two for the rest of the evenin'.  Works for me!

 I've done really well so far.  The only time I seem to lose it is when they're breathing down my neck while I'm cookin'.    So far...so good...I haven't hit one of 'em yet.....yet....

What's gettin' on your nerves during the lock down?

Thank goodness for Ajax Golf Carts I'm able to work from home.  However, the only work comin' my way is to field cart reservation cancellation calls all day.  It's not very uplifting and doesn't look good for the future.  I know the other businesses are all suffering along with us but I also know that we'll survive.  It just doesn't look so good right now.  I DO love my job and the great folks who own it.   GO AJAX!

Now to discuss my main problem with this here lockdown...I'm getting FAT(ter)!  Six meals a day is really gettin' to me.  I can't help myself.  If I'm cookin'...I'm eatin'...and tastin' along the way.  I never used to have "temptation foods" in my house.  With these two kids in the house if we run out of oreos and/or ice cream you'd think the world has come to an end.  They live here, too...so the cabinets are stocked with fat food.  And I DO love fat food.  

I always thought that I was an introvert.  Seems I'm the opposite as I'm about to go crazy not being able to leave the house.  I promise that I'll appreciate all of the folks I get to see when this thing is over more than ever before.  I really miss you...even the ones I don't like.  I seem to be starving for outside the home human interaction.  

Starving?  Sheesh...now I want some cookies and ice cream!  Can't wait for this to be over and see my girlfriends on the beach!

It doesn't look like this thing is going to be over any time soon.  I hope that you're all stayin' safe and findin' ways to survive the corony-virus.  Me?  I think I'll just get back to dancin'.  Turn up the music Miss BayBay!
