Not sure I follow your posting exactly but I wish you all the best in life. People are stressed because it’s a stressful time. We are finding joy in our blessings too.

Be safe. Take care.

Well, in my state the governor has clearly stated we are not at the half way point yet. We are considered a hot spot. He gave an update earlier today on television.

As usual, a crisis will bring out the best in people and unfortunately the worst in people.

I’m getting a bit concerned. Number one, for everyone’s health but also our safety. New Orleans is a great city but we do have our fair share of crime here.

I just turned on our local news to get an update on what the primate center at Tulane University had to say. Tulane was asked to do a study on the spread of the virus and to look into producing a vaccine to be used in the future. The primates have been injected with the virus and the study is underway.

After I saw that story another story came on showing residents being evicted from their apartments. They can’t pay rent because they aren’t working.

People are starting to panic. Man, I remember this panicking after Katrina hit and people had no jobs and no homes and the violence that occurred. People were acting like animals. It wasn’t pretty. Downright scary.

I’m staying home but desperate people do desperate things and we will start seeing acts of violence. My husband is going out to the grocery. New Orleans police response time is slow. Keep us in your prayers.

kapcrazz, just my observation, but it seems the older baby boomers and those older are taking this more in stride. But the meaning of "stride" can be questioned in today's world. I remember during 09-11, I raced over to my parents house [gosh, they were my age back then] and they were cool, calm and collective. My parents were the teenagers of the Great Depression, living through World War II, and other pandemics. They just got use to times of trouble.

Who would even think that finding that lone package of toilet paper on the grocery shelves would make you feel like you won the lottery :) And it was the large bundle, too.

Working from home was fine for the first two weeks, now I feel like I am on house arrest. Work is quite slow. Boss calls me 4 or 5 times a day. My cat calls out HELLO over and over when he wants attention. My brain is slowly turning to mush.

Break time in front of the TV. Let's see, my choices are Maury's "Who's the Daddy?" or Dr. Pimple Popper.

Oops, the washing machine is trying to walk up the basement stairs, again. Love the space in the e-machines but the noise, need airport headphones.

Take care, everyone.

Love your post.  I, too, find laughter to be the best medicine.  It's Free!  Drs can't 'really' prescribe it.  There are no side effects .. just side splitting.  If anyone's offended, they can look the other way, go read something else vs. criticize what someone finds funny.  Life is Grand!

We do need to laugh where we can. It’s important. It’s a release. Comic relief!

Speaking of funny things. I have been thinking of dusting off my sewing machine and working on a few projects.

I want to make dog bandannas to donate to our ASPCA to sell in fundraising events they do. Well, now they could be a multipurpose item. Hahaha, they could also be worn as protective face mask, right?
