I apologize in advance: #61: Social Distance

Pics from Bear Butte State Park

I am reminded eerily of a scene, kind of like from Demolition Man......two people meeting on the street, and when they part company, rather than shaking hands, they bow and tell one another to "be well". This seems to be what we have come to. It's odd; as a semi-introvert, it was a matter of people-ing, and then withdrawing back into the wallpaper so to speak, to recharge. But there is little people-ing to be had here lately, so I have had to adapt. There's the online friend thing; I had a few of those and some, at least, are still with me. There are the few IRL ones I trust to show up from time to time; but no real socializing. But I will survive. I will check up on some people, and if you don't get an email from me, feel free to send me one.

It helps that there are woods behind the house to roam in, although my wanderings are largely still dictated by the weather. So I will enjoy it when I can, and then I am stuck indoors, sleep or read. I will bury myself in the care of my little green babies sitting on the windowsill.

I currently have no work to go to as the place I was working has been deemed "nonessential" and has shut down, probably for the next month or so. I have filed for "reemployment" (nice how they try to put a positive spin on things), and am keeping an eye out for that mailed check the government is supposedly sending. Not much else I can do at this point. Just a matter of hurry-up-and-wait. I ought to be used to that.

The Three Amigos?

At this point I have no inspirational quote, or cheery things to tell you. I will continue to post pictures as I can take them, as long as the powers that be don't decide to lock us all indoors.

I'd also like to make a list of folks out there I would like to personally thank, including but not limited to:
Doctors
Nurses (That includes you, Dan!)
Paramedics
Grocery Store Workers
Postal Carriers
Truckers
Phone and Internet Providers

..........In short, those who are keeping us going. And those who are keeping us from going crazy.
In short, you is awesomez.
