Plans VS 2020

I had such a good plan to beat the Covid stress for these days off. Tuesday I was going to hike, Wednesday was to be my beach day and Thursday I am heading back to the winery.

I had time set into my plan for studying, exercise, healthy eating and my DYI beauty regime.

As I write this I am laying in bed listening to podcasts trying hard to find something relaxing or at least not upsetting.

The news cycle this week is scary. It started with death an escalated to violence, hate and mistrust. Wait as I reread that sentence this started with hate and then escalated to a death. I keep thinking of George Floyd’s mother and family. I keep coming back in my mind how hard it will be to grieve as they see his death on loop via social media.

We also have scary weather with large size hail in Nebraska where my son and his girlfriend live, thunderstorm warnings here in Connecticut where I am, I read about a Cyclone in the Arabian Sea, a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico and so on.

In Canada they have had one of their first Mass Shootings and not forest fires near where my family is from.

It’s an election year and we are hearing almost nothing from the candidates. I am mostly getting campgain updates from Joe Biden’s Instagram. I wish we were getting more mainstream coverage.

He might not have been your first choice but electing Biden over another four years of Trump is a no brainer to me. We cannot take another four years of escalation. People are angry and belligerent on all sides, I personally connect this to having an angry and belligerent leader.

I respect people’s right to respectfully protest but we have spent months trying to contain Covid. Could we focus on using if our power to vote in this election year? Let’s organize this pain safely. I say this as an essential worker seeing the staff at my hospital work thru Covid has been hard. People are out of work with Covid, afraid to work thru their pregnancy, fatigued by floating to the Covid floor and if we as a nation go out to protest in groups on 100’s or 1000’s Covid will have a quick resurgence. Then my coworkers and peers will renter their cycle of sickness and fear but with less PTO to cope with time off. They will be forced to choose between their health Covid recovery or a safe pregnancy vs their jobs and security.

In no way do I consider myself as a super brain with all the answers. I am just a scared citizen who wants everyone to be as OK as possible. 2020 has been awful, sickness, death, weather, fires and racial unrest.

So today I am way off my anti Covid stress plan so far this week but I am going to give myself a break. I am going to lunch outside with friends who make me feel safe. I will decide on the beach depending on those thunderstorms. I will just make my corner of life as OK as possible.

We’re under a tornado 🌪 warning and holed up in the hallway with sirens blasting. We’re past the worst part I’m pretty sure, but better safe than sorry. #tornado #scaryweather #saddoggo #husky #siberianhusky #MugenSunday #dogsofinstagram (at Landmark, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BovF1Y-gS1e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=exw12k2dd1ph
