So my daughter works for a very large grocery retailer the topic of masks come to mind. Due to a medical condition it is very hard for DD to breathe wearing a mask for long periods of time. They excused her from it now a week plus later they say it is Required... so we looked into it ..
According to OSHA to make required.... the business is required to pay for medical clearances and Provide clean masks for each shift.

The mask they passed out and ask staff to wash is practically see thru and you can blow out a match through it. The manager confessed he was trying to push an issue and the corporation wants all staff to wear for show to the customers but does not require because the cost of compliance to OSHA rules.

So when reading people saying their STATE requires a mask they would be subject to the same OSHA requirements to make sure it is safe for people to wear masks that may interfere with their breathing. Not just make a cloth mask at home.

A recent car wreck was attributed to lady passing out after long time wearing a mask while driving ...I have no idea why she would since she was alone in car, but perhaps she was told it is REQUIRED.
Words like suggests/ recommends / prefers is not the same as REQUIRE..... so is the government going to help with all businesses forced to comply with OSHA respiratory regulations in reopening? you also would need at least N95 masks and a person trained for correct fit etc.

I have alot of time to think about items as WFH has been really watch TV or movie answer a couple of emails and attend one or two zoom meetings.
leaves alot of time to do other things or think about things.
As I said in my post yesterday my DD is thinking about moving out of the house she has rented from me.

I did not expect this to bother me as much as it has. I have been thinking about what is next. we moved a few years ago for DH work and bought a second home here for cash. I have never liked this area and had hoped to move home when we retired.
That is what he told me we kept house and rented to DD and SIL for an extremely reasonable price. It is in a good location and has 5 bedrooms so it can be sold I guess, I just feel lost as this was our home from early on and I am somewhat attached to it.
I am trying to see it as a box or commodity simply to be sold. I look around to some we know who have beautiful new built homes that look like a catalog but they are never there both working into retirement trying to pay for this show home ... WHY have that unless you have the time to enjoy it?
Both my home are not the newest builds and latest gadgets etc but both are good locations and very functional. I think DH has changed his mind on moving back as the area we are now has more temperate weather. All he seems concerned about is how long a golf season is.
So I think DD and SIL should have been more upfront on their intentions and I also think DH should be clear on do we sell or not. If I hear what ever you want one more time I might snap.
If nothing has any sentimental value I guess I should start purging all my things now.
It helps to vent.....

Well when texting with my daughter she slightly mentioned that her and SIL have been discussing looking for their own house as they have " rented" at a huge discounted rate our house for the last 5 years.

I knew sooner or later they may move was just not really thinking it would be now. They have OK jobs and thanks to low rent and such have grown a fairly decent savings.
It was ironic since she was just talking of a friend whose hubby was just laid off and the friends don't know how to make their mortgage. Many of SIL and DD friends bought too much house and will struggle in bad times like now.
I do not want to hold them back and they have not really started looking but i think personally they feel super flush NOW but a down payment will wipe out most of their nest egg and both cars are older with a decent amount of miles so i would hate to see them with a mortgage and needing a new auto.

I feel somewhat torn as much as i want them to be careful discouraging taking on big debt seems like i am just protecting my interests.

I can rent for twice what they pay but will need to go in and update some items etc. i offered to do any small updates for them but they have not responded back. should i just approach it like they are moving and make plans for updates or should i wait and see.

I know there are many different perspectives and perhaps reactions to the current stay at home world many of us are living in.
I just recently when logging in to my auto insurance see not only did our rate fall this time but the company we have is giving 20% off for April and May due to many not driving during this.
I am not going anywhere in my car except once a week to grocery. So it is a win I guess.

I have not had to get gas for over 3 weeks now so i am taking that money and putting it in one of our savings account.
It is getting hard to plan to go do anything even a month out because who knows if we will need to reschedule again and again.
Tried to clean up the yard but not sure if local garden place is open or not to get a few items I would need.
I am in need of a distraction even watching TV is becoming difficult for every commercial is pandering to the current situation and I find this somewhat irritating.
We went out once for lunch at a car hop type place thinking of supporting local business found i must be the only person in town staying in as the parking lots to ANYTHING open was full.
I know I had the virus based on hearing the symptoms of many recovered and seeing my bout in early march were remarkably the same. It was mild the cough was annoying but went away after about a week.

I wonder what type of world we will have AFTER this. while I can see the points to the distancing etc. I do not like how some are acting regarding others.
I went out quickly and saw a few whom did not wear a mask or scarf etc and people felt the urge to aggressively lecture people.... I think it does not help anything to be some self appointed expert and spouting whatever they heard at people. I hope people can be civil this clearly shows that MANY need to take a look at their own behaviors in public.
