My Daily Struggle in the COVID-19 Lockdown

Hello Friends, So, I have good news, aggravating news, and a question. First the question, and I see that 24 people, on average, read my blog, so I would like at least 10 responses--preferably in the comments box. Should I end this blog after the New Year, or should I continue until the USDA approves a vaccine? That leads me to the good news. Pfizer came out with a vaccine this week that is 95% effective. Halleluyah! People are already talking about WHEN they will start giving the vaccine to others. I made the mistake this week of listening to the news. Within a few minutes, my chest became tight, my stomach felt as it someone punched it, and I struggled to breathe. Now Illinois has officially been moved down to Tier 3, and schools are completely virtual again. This news about Pfizer was truly a lifeboat, and if anyone tries to stop me from luxuriating in it, let them be anathema. Well, not really.  Now the aggravating news. I went to a Walmart close to my mother's house to pick up...

 So, this has been quite a week. It started with the news that The Wife to get tested for COVID-19 because someone very reckless manager let a client stay in a room where my wife was volunteering. Fortunately, she came back negative, which is good news for both of us. That is still wrong of him. With all the nonsense going on, you do not let a person complaining of COVID-19 symptoms stay with others. That is just wrong, inconsiderate, and dangerous. Shame on him! Next, for those who know me best, I suffer from depression, and I take medication for it. For a while, I was off of it because I did not want to be dependent on medication anymore. Plus, I don't like the side effects. For a while, I was off of the medication, but I noticed my depression was worsening, and I could only focus on how difficult my life has been: financial problems for the past 4 years, disrespect at work, the death of my aunt, COVID-19, my paternal grandma getting COVID-19 and my old man not telling me about i...

People had really gotten on my nerves this week. First, you have toilet matter masquerading as humans still attacking police officers who are just doing their jobs when they come to stop them from illegally destroying property, such as the Christopher Columbus statue Then Mayor Lighthead (you read me) ordered the overnight removal of the statue that police had injured themselves protecting to placate the samboes. (PS: read the last post to know what I am talking about.  Mind you, I don't like mass murderers like Columbus. It disgusts me that a halfway civilized society would have statues celebrating Columbus or General Sheridan. Regardless, she did not remove the statue because of how she felt about him. She did it for publicity. Now calls herself trying to defy the President when he threatened to send federal agents to Chicago to do the job she will not do: quell the riots and stop the shooting.  Ms. Mayor, more people are being shot this weekend like all weekends, and what a...

Thank you to the three who responded. After this week, I am going to write one post a week--on Saturdays. Hopefully by this, I will have a more even flow of material. I will continue this blog until we reach Phase 5, and then we can decide what my next blog should be about. I have read how some states that have relaxed restrictions too hastily are now starting to regret it as there is a second surge in infections that has arrived. So far, this has not touched Illinois due to our strict lockdown. New York, on the other hand, is also experiencing a second surge. Considering how congested it is, no wonder. Humans are not meant to live in such cities. Being crammed together does not help us to see humanity in a positive light. In fact, cities make us less than human in our attitudes and behaviors. That is why we are meant to live in small towns, villages, hamlets, and in the country. As for New York, I wonder if the protests caused the second surge, or if the sheer population limits thei...
