When it really happens: SHTF...

Thursday we spent the evening with my daughter and grandson. We have not spent much time with them since this started. I did some work in her house for about a week back in May, she brought him over for an hour or so in July and that's pretty much it. He's two. He's showing impact from this. He wasn't himself while we were there, not that we would know but Mom knew. I speculated it was because he wasn't around people and she agreed. Don't get me wrong, he knew us, he was happy to see us, he wanted to show off, he called Grandma by her title for the very first time. He's called me Pap Pap for over a year. But this has to be hurting him somewhat developmentally.

I just read an article today about suicides among kids being at an alarming rate. One hospital in Texas, ONE HOSPITAL is seeing one child suicide a DAY. Pennsylvania still has not had a single death from Covid under the age of 20.

I too think we have failed this pandemic miserably and with this and the resulting fiasco, when a REAL pandemic hits, I think we may be doomed. No one is going to want to repeat this.

I also enjoyed the slow down, for a while anyway. But I'm never a fast mover anyway, never have been. I can get along with minimal contact now because my normal life involves minimal contact. I have my clients, my family and a couple of close friends and that's my social circle

My wife on the other hand is suffering from serious depression. In her mind, everything she loves to do has been taken away from her. She's shut down somewhat. And it's not really the social events either, not directly. We love our events, our fairs, our car shows, our renaissance fairs, our races, high school football games, church etc and all have been cancelled one after another and she's been counting them down. They even cancelled things into January of next year already. Things we have gone to every year since we've been married.

I'm now just tired. Tired of all the bullcrap. The science has caught up with this and it isn't what they said it was but the politicians are still acting like it is.

That is very true, I fear. Everywhere.
