trying to see brightside

April 13th, 2020 at 04:43 pm

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.

    Around here the mask thing is the law. It's not a personal choice. So if someone isn't wearing one, they can be denied entry into stores and onto public transit. Folks who choose to ignore the rules need to be prepared for the consequences of doing so.

    There are difference between law and rule.... law would require state legislature to pass a bill while administrative RULE is a stroke of a pen.

    NOT a law or anything enforceable in my state and even if it was ....
    It is NOT the job of average citizen to enforce their interpretation of either a LAW or RULE

    Oh I agree that individuals shouldn't be taking it upon themselves to enforce anything.

    I know the governor has issued numerous executive orders so some of this stuff is law even though it didn't go through the normal legislative channels.

    I agree with you, I'm tired of the news and most of the commercials. I think we all know what is going on and other than some updates, I don't need to have it on 24/7. I have tried to distance myself from the TV as well as social media. I have some friends on Facebook that all they were sharing were the horrible things over and over and over.

    Other than grocery shopping and picking up some other essentials, we have stayed home. Hubby has walked around the neighborhood for his exercise. We wear masks when do go to the grocery store.

    As crazy as some people are, I wouldn't think it would be safe to lecture anyone; you never know who is going to snap at any given time.
