So I’m back. Again. I was having trouble with my last laptop. I’m on a new one now. Well, it’s old, but new to me. No problems so far (knock on wood).
Anyway, we’re in the midst of the corona virus epidemic. Covid-19. We’ve been “social distancing” for over a month now and people are starting to really get antsy. They want to go back to work. As far as work, nothing’s really changed for us because of the virus. Randy and I are still working Primerica. In fact, we’re doing more hiring and we’re about to close several policies and open investment accounts. We’ve been doing a lot more Postmates too. That’s been very lucrative. Restaurants are closed for dine in so everyone is getting delivery or take out. They’re supposed to open the parks this Friday. Everyone’s been wearing masks and gloves everywhere. My mom had some made for Randy and I. I’ve heard that only people who are sick are the ones supposed to where them. But some people might carry it without showing symptoms so I guess we all have to wear them. There are so many conspiracy theories about the virus. I have to say it’s entertaining listening to them all. And some of them actually do make you think. What really stinks about this whole thing is not being able to go and see my family. We’re all supposed to keep 6 feet apart and all that. And my parents are taking it very seriously. Which is good, cause they would be in the high risk category. But we’re planning on visiting in their backyard Sunday (Mother’s Day and all). Keeping our distance of course. At least I don’t live alone. I could see that being kind of maddening. Especially if I wasn’t an “essential worker”. Oh, I forgot to mention that. Only “essential” businesses have been allowed to stay open for the last month or so. That’s put a lot of people out of work and on unemployment. We’ve gotten stimulus checks, but they’re not enough to support a family or anything. I wonder how long it’ll take businesses to recover (the ones that DO recover anyway). Will things go back to the way they were, or did this virus change things for good? I guess we’ll see.
Money’s better than it’s been in a long time. We’ve finally been able to get on time with our rent payments. So that’s exciting (for my parents as well).
On a more personal note, Randy’s mom moved out, finally (did I tell you?). It’s been so much nicer. I feel like I can actually do things downstairs without being in the way or feeling like she’s in the way. She was afraid of the dogs. They never did anything to her, but she’s scared of animals in general I think. The dogs just made a mess by shredding a cushion by the way. They’re still crazy. They’re both a year old now. Jack’s about 10. I think. He looks like an old man dog now. I miss Kester. I hope I’ll see him again one day in heaven. I do believe animals have souls and go to heaven.
Still haven’t lost the weight. I’m really struggling with that actually. Randy and I are going to do a youtube channel. Cooking and then sitting down to eat and talking about different subjects. I can use that to keep accountable with weight loss too. We’ll see how it goes. I want to film the first video next week. It’s something we’ve talked about for a while. I’m tired of talking about things. Let’s do them already. It’s like that old country song “a little less talk and a lot more action”. I don’t remember who sang it. I guess I’m the one who’s just going to have to take charge.
Wow. This is the most I’ve written in a long time in any journal. Feels good. I’m pretty tired. Supposed to have 2 appointments for Primerica tomorrow evening. Wish us luck. Hopefully they show up on the zoom calls.
Ok, time to sweep up the mess the dogs made. They tore up the couch a while ago. Luckily it was a crappy couch. Rogue took one of the back cushions out and now the stuffing is all over the living room floor. Gotta at least be sweeping when Randy gets home from work. He had already swept and everything this afternoon. So I guess I’ll sign off for now. Heck I might even be back later tonight to write more. But if not, until tomorrow.
