10 good but controversial things about the coronavirus

Staying Home: Welcome to my World!

The Pond In My Condo

Everybody, welcome to my world! I’ve been staying home almost every day because I have been looking for work, applying for jobs online, as most jobs are these days, for around 2 years and I am over 62 so it’s really tough to get hired. It got so tough that I had to file for social security early and get less money so I have less to live on than if I had full retirement.  Now, because of coronavirus, everyone stays home, all the time. I love working on artistic projects, staying home but I need money just like you do now. I look out my window and see everyone at home, with more time to do what they want but no money. Now everybody has to do almost everything online like I do when I file job applications. I was in the middle of testing for a graphic designer job online when the company canceled the position because of the coronavirus, It turned out you can’t do the job without working in an office. My book signing at Barnes and Noble was also canceled. With all the partisan bickering, who knows if and when the government will really help us survive?

  1. Less traffic cleaner air

  2. Republicans and democrats appear to be working together in an unusually cooperative matter to avert a melt down of the economy.

  3. Spend more time with loved ones

  4. If you don’t have to go to an office you can still work more comfortably at home, in your pj’s.

  5. More control over raising your Kids.

  6. Get neglected household projects done

  7. Great for Multi-tasking

  8. Work on private dream projects

9.Save money on gas and lunch

  1. Less supervision less stress than working in person no one looking over your shoulder

Getting checked at the doctor’s office for Covid 19, might have strep throat or influenza instead, since I didn’t travel recently and don’t have a fever. Results for strep throat and pneumonia are coming back any minute now.  Pretty nurse practitioner did a thorough job and made me feel cared for. Even though I don’t pay a penny.  Feel tired and so glad I got seen right away on a same day appointment!   The timing is also off for getting Covid. So I hope to God I have something that they can easily cure or it goes away on it’s own.

Now I am here possibly facing mortality but hopefully not. I must also face my boredom in this exam room. Perhaps the mold in the house is doing this to me too.

This disease could ruin everyone’s progress, including my own.  We have to rise above it with our collective creativity.
