We see you, even though our selfishness won't allow our gratitude.

THANK YOU!

I just returned home from picking up some extra asthma spray from the pharmacy for the Mrs. Tip of the hat thanks to those who work behind those counters (I know it falls under your nurse category). All shift they are dealing with the sick and needy.
 
Went down to my drinking spot down the block and bought the bar tenders some pizzas.

Service industry I know is hurting all over, and they are vital to my survival so gotta take care of em.

So many big events have been cancelled here locally that normally puts a few extra bucks in their pockets. The area I live in is usually bumpin every day, its almost dead in all the bars today. Just a few fools out for a happy hour it seems. Most of the stores are either closed indefinitely right now, or on limited hours.

Shit's getting weird. First the panic....now the hiding. Either way, it shows that people are scared. I'm sorry. I'm not scared. I made my peace with death many years ago when I got shot at for the first time. I have no desire to compromise my freedoms to avoid dying. If this shit gets me, it was just my turn.

I mean, I don't think Im scared to get it myself perse, but I wouldn't want to pass it to someone and have it fuck them up or something. With my mom in a nursing home I would hate to not be able to get in there for even longer. They are already asking people to not come in there at all.

So I think its more of a "for the greater good" type of deal for me. I could have stopped in and dank a few like normal but just popped in and out.

We will still have a small group of friends together tomorrow for St Paddys and get our drink on.
 
Honestly... The bars and restaurants are the cleanest places to be as far as I have seen. They have all been going many extra miles to keep the places clean. Probably cleaner than my own damn apartment 😂

I get it. We all need to do whatever it is that we need to do to avoid feeling "responsible" for being the one. Fact is..people die every day. This didn't change that. If you succeed in not giving your Mom this and she dies of what put her in the nursing home to start with.....while you don't visit....how's that gonna work out for you? Just trying to give you a different perspective, bro. When my Pops was dialysis, I'd have brought him a bottle of Maker's that would have surely killed him, if he had told me that's what he wanted.

Oh for sure.. I think we always have to make a personal choice in regards to a lot of things that come up in life... and we won't always make the "right" one that leads to our best desired result.
 
My folks are both within months of turning 92. They are non-stop in doing social things. We have been begging them to quit going out, but always get the same response: “we are fine.”

In the beginning I was frustrated, but now I get it. If I was their age I would say “fuck it” too. It’s been a good ride.

I'm not even sure that's an option.

We live with what we live with. Life is not about the end result, it's about what you do with the journey. Just make the best you can of every day and then accept wherever the chips fall.

Yeah....I'm pretty fucked up in many ways, but, sometimes, I can make a little bit of sense.

Make plans. Adjust on the fly. And enjoy the ride.
