Quarantine: The New Normal

After writing what I deemed a pretty crappy post previous to this, I wanted to follow-up with something a little better and more unorganized and thoughtful. Hopefully I can achieve that in what is really an unprecedented time in our country’s (and world’s) history. What is currently happening here is something I thought only happened in the movies or hundreds or years ago before we had the technology and medical advancements that we have, but a microscopic organism like this novel Corona virus is unpredictable and made us living in a pretty scary movies. And I HATE scary movies. What's been going on with COVID-19 is definitely something I never thought I’d see or experience.  I also never thought I'd ever say this, but I am just happy that I am not currently living in NYC.

Real Life Outbreak

There has obviously been a lot going on (biggest understatement ever) regarding everything with the corona virus COVID-19 pandemic. I mean when all is said and done,  this will be in history book, so I'm having a hard time processing what we are all going through right now. It's just all too surreal, and not in a good way. I wanted to document some of this, more for myself in the future more than anything, but also writing it out is such a therapeutic thing for me. I haven’t written much at all in the last couple years excluding my trips, because no one wants to hear about my continued single life (sigh), because well, it’s just lonely and frustrating, with the occasional thoughts of "I’m glad I have all this freedom", but mostly the former. That loneliness has sure reached its peak lately as we are all quarantined for the foreseeable future and social-distancing pretty mandatory.
