I usually look down on the ground before exiting my car because that first step can be a doozy. And if I’m driving that means it’s somewhere in public, where I’m almost guaranteed to find a few masks that have been dropped or discarded purposely. It’s a poignant reminder that COVID-19 is now a partContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 727”

You Make Me Sick
Day 679 since COVID-19 pandemic was known. I generally smirked when I heard folks say, “I’ll be glad when this is over” in May 2020. I knew immediately that the virus [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)] that causes the #COVID19 disease was a permanent fixture of the human experience. It wasn’t gonna simply “goContinue reading “You Make Me Sick”

The Power of Clarity
The adage, “hindsight is 20/20”, is never more apropos to describe 2020 A.D. and the #COVID-19 global pandemic than anything else. For me the death of friends and family, the lingering health issues for those that survived, the lockdowns / quarantines, the massive cleaning effort, the business closures, and so much more provided a momentContinue reading “The Power of Clarity”
COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 408
A year and some change we’ve been coping with the global pandemic of COVID-19. Now the question we’re trying to ask is: Who’s gonna readily step up for the vaccines available for it? We already know the anti-vaxxers that won’t. They should, but they won’t. Let’s focus the conversation on the majority that will. MyContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 408”
COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 381
My head hurts. My heart wants to cry. There’s so much in my head that it takes all my self discipline that I can summon not to spew it all out at once like word vomit. “When This Virus Is Over … “ This phrase concerns me because the person(s) that say it don’t realizeContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 381”
COVID-19 Chronicles: A Year In Review (Part 3 of 3)
Despite my successes over the summer over 2020 at work and at home, my depression looms over it all like a dark cloud. My inner demons are working overtime, and just as hard as I am trying to stay ahead of it. Slipping into that abyss again would only have one outcome. Suicide is aContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: A Year In Review (Part 3 of 3)”
COVID-19 Chronicles: A Year In Review (Part 2 of 3)
I grumbled to my sister, who is my tenant, room mate, best friend, and all-around gal pal, “The world is circling the drain, Charrina. All that’s left is for someone to flush.” At the beginning of May, the words / phrases of dumpster fire of a year, shitshow, and clusterfuck were added to my dailyContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: A Year In Review (Part 2 of 3)”
COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 348
Look, I get it. I do. You spend a majority of your time at work. Therefore you spend that same amount of time with your co-workers. And humans are social beings, so naturally you’ll socialize with those co-workers, especially during this global pandemic known only as: COVID-19. There are more reasons why you should not dateContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 348”
COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 317
I don’t know about anyone else but I started tracking COVID-19 from December 31, 2019 as my beginning of the global pandemic. Since it’s not “going away” any time soon, I’m thinking that instead of continuing with A.D. (anno domini) the year of the Lord, we should transition to A.C. (After COVID-19) And the yearsContinue reading “COVID-19 Chronicles: Day 317”
