I'm an "essential worker", so it's kinda weird. I've been going to work as normal, it's just been busier and a little bit more hectic. Husband was let go at work. There was talk, I guess, about letting him go for budgetary reasons BEFORE Coviid. Then, Coviid made that decision a whole heck of a lot easier. He was paid his normal salary through May, and now he's on unemployment. Buuuuttt...after that? He had a very niche job, and trying to transfer/translate those skills into a different job or career would be difficult.
And this leads to what a bunch of what other people have said. I had at least 3+ hours a weekday where I had time to myself. I had the TV to myself, or I could stop somewhere after work without worrying about getting home. I remember early to mid-April I went through the drive thru at BK, and then I just parked at a local Target, rolled my window down, and just scrolled through my phone while I ate. It was peaceful.
Tradition would have had my parents coming in on Memorial Day weekend to celebrate my birthday, but that was already a no-go because of how my schedule is at work. Luckily, my parents are taking this virus super serious, i.e. doing the social distancing thing with my sister and BIL who live in the same town since both have "essential" jobs. Not sure when I'll get to see them next, and the last time I saw them was the first week of December. Haven't see the in-laws since January-ish? Maybe even Christmas. Husband's grandpa is 92 and is in a skilled care facility. Sooo hope we get to see him soon.
Then there's the past week and a half. There isn't a whole lot to say that already hasn't been said. I know I haven't slept well this past week...can't remember having any dreams, good or bad.
I know we have a long road ahead of us on two fronts between the virus and the fight for racial equality. I just hope and pray we can all be there for each other as we move through it.
