BAU

It seems like it’s getting crazier and crazier. We are all living through history now. Well not everyone is living through it, I suppose. No real idea what is going on anymore because there is so many sources of news. I mean you have so many people distrusting news media that no one is abiding by the advice of the news during this pandemic. Now it seems like masks are being recommended by officials. Buying real filtration is nearly impossible, the hospitals cannot even buy them. On eBay they go for 100’s of dollars. I literally have boxes of them from when I would spray paint on houses, but they are half the state away. Guess it’s just a cloth mask for me for the meantime until I can find a real mask. I am at risk cuz I actually go out to work and around people, but I am still careful.

As this corona world has been a thing for about a month now, it feels like it’s just business as usual (BAU). It’s become the new world we live in, I don’t even really think about it as much as I did at the start. The sun still rises and sets at the end of each day. I figure that it’s gonna be wild but what can I do besides the actions I already am taking? I see no reason to stress. I’ve worked hard to get into that mental headspace. The economy might tank. People will die. It’s not ideal, but rarely are things ever on an even keel all the time. Things are always changing, sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad. There is gonna be ups and there is gonna be down. But during those down moments, that’s where the growth takes place. Anybody can be positive when things are going their way, but you grow when you get knocked down. I know we all have the power to endure. It’s an opportunity to grow right now. We will come back. That’s why I think it’s going to be ok. We will come back and be better and stronger because of it.

Chey and I have playful hearts and are just treating this whole time like a big snow day. We met up with Sarah and Alyssa to skate at the skate park: look at the Purell

Chey also works on her driving skills and I ride passenger for the first time in the van

Mask up, close your eyes, take a huge breath and stay livin’ but
