I honestly don’t think there will be SeaFair this year. No Blue Angels. No Tulip Festival. (Certainly no Daffodil Parade). No 4th of July get-togethers. No family vacations.
No trips between Everett and Harstine to see Quinn and the kids for a long time.
I believe this will last much longer than people realize, especially since there are several REPUBLICAN governors and an idiot *president who refuse to follow the dire warnings of public health experts to shut everything down, shelter-in-place, and seriously wind down this pandemic. The virus does not abide by borders or calendars. And truthfully, even when things do finally wind down, they will heat back up time and time again until there is a vaccine. A year out, or more. All it takes is ONE CASE, and everything starts over again.
God, I hope I’m wrong. I’d be delighted to be wrong! But I listen to the experts. I do NOT listen to trump.
There are not enough words in the English language to describe my white-hot hatred for trump. Back to normal by Easter? He is desperate to resume his Nuremberg rallies, to get “his” economy back, to get his hotels and resorts back in business, to resume his attacks on Hunter Biden, to get his fat ass back on the golf course. Every day he spews lies and it sickens me that people believe his lies. Stupidity is our undoing. I hate him so much. What a godawful person. Unfit, incompetent, vindictive, stupid, evil. We all knew he would be a catastrophic failure in a crisis. And here we are.
I continue to feel pretty much like shit, approaching two weeks with this bug. I thought I was finally turning a corner with it, but today I felt awful. Coughing, coughing, coughing; ZERO energy; and how can a human body produce such a volume of green snot? Here’s a little (more) TMI: Every time I cough, I pee a little in my pants. This is miserable!
At least it’s prevented me from feeling antsy about going out and about, because that’s the last thing I feel like doing. I think, ultimately, I will be OK with this stay-at-home order, because I do love being at home. This is actually a very good place to BE at home. Here’s an example why (from last night):
Here’s another rant.
I am beyond furious with people (you know who you are) who are referring to this pandemic as the “Chinese” virus. THAT is racist. THAT incites racism. THAT is intended as an insult. And if you are so inclined to call it that, you really need to read THIS.
And here are some Quinn photos, because after such an angry post, we all need this.
My god, I love that little boy.
Also! Here is a photo of the Everett Naval Base! That large building with the green metal roof is Sandra’s clinic! You can see the ships in the background—one of them is Nate’s. (click to embiggen)
