CRAAAAAAAP!
1-24-2022. The world is still wearing masks. People are still dying, but NOT so much from COVID-19 but from a 3rd variant named omnicom. I has flu like symptoms, lasts only a few days with a low grade fever. It IS however a Covid virus.
I'm getting so sick of all this crap... and so is the rest of the country. CA, WA, NY residents still have to wear masks! TN residents do not HAVE to wear masks, but some people still do. We have so afr been able to stay healthy, but everyone around us has caught omnicom, including family. Haven't seen grand kids or kids for 3 weeks.
Date: May 5, 2021.
Condition of America: Terminal
Reason: The Democratic/Socialist party of America.
Illegal immigrates flock across our borders, Biden orders ALL of them released WITHOUT TESTING FOR THE COVID VIRUS. ALL OF THEM ON WELFARE.
Restaurants unable to open because they can't find workers to fill positions! Unemployment benefits are $750 a WEEK. Who wants to work and earn LESS than being on unemployment?
Lumber costs up 300% adding an additional cost of $32,000 to the average sized home across the country.
Gasoline costs about $1.00 more per gallon than last year at this time.
Inflation warnings being announced for everywhere. Stock up on toilet paper again?
People testing positive for Covid even AFTER getting the so called "magic" vaccine. WTF??
We decided NOT to get vaccinated. Too many unknowns.
This country is going to hell in a hand bag as my Daddy used to say. Sigh.
Well, we sold the cabin in Cleveland. Started at $105K, got no action from several showings so we lowered the price to $99.9K and got an offer of $90K. Settled at $94,300. Lost about $23,000 over a 4 year period after counting all the remodeling we did. We really had no plans to sell, but the Covid got the best of us AND the park has had a complete turn-over and some of the new people were just dorks. Time to move. So here we are in Knoxville, TN.
So after a YEAR of all this pandemic shit I have come to realize that there IS a benefit to this mess.
1. I don't have to be close to people. People don't want to be close to me.
2. Going out to eat is a joke. Restaurants are operating at half capacity at their BEST and the food sucks. We went to a Ruby Tuesday's and the salad bar was nasty, they were out of french fries AND baked potatoes! Offered me tater tots. Tater tots? Really? I'll pass. Just give me a freaking plate of salad and a burger. I'll NOT be back.
3. The BEST thing is I can wear sweat pants, a ratty T-shirt, a cap and flip flops ANYWHERE! Because I have a mask on, NO ONE knows who I am! NO ONE even knows if I have shaved this week. It's GREAT! Even Kathy loves this part of it. No make-up required, put a cap on the head and NO ONE knows if she did (or if I did) our hair. Hell, you can get right out of bed, slap a cap on, grab a mask, get dressed and go to the grocery store! So convenient!
And here are some pictures of my "Dressed for Covid" outfits :
First - we moved to TN. We got tired of living in a little cabin, the people (ambience) at PVC changed because of so many new tenants that we no longer were having any fun. Especially being literally trapped at the cabin because of Covid. So an opportunity presented itself to us on a cute 3/2 brand new home and we jumped on it. Move in date was 11-11-2020. Kathy loves being close to the grand kids and we both love having more than one choice for pizza, hamburgers, Mexican food, etc. Back in a bigger city!
On the down side, the Covid continues to wreak havoc on the world.
Several states continue lock down as winter moves in and people are really starting to freak out as MILLIONS of people lose unemployment benefits and banks start repossessing homes and businesses. It sucks and I'm scared. Nothing I can do about it though.
President Trump lost the re-election to Bidden. Can't wait to see how the next 4 years turn out as America starts it's slow journey towards socialism. We're screwed.
