Living in the Bay area has been a unique experience of late. Since the #ShelterInPlace order went into effect on March 19th, the world has practically ground to a halt.
Though, living in an RV park has a totally different meaning to the 'in place' definition. We still have to move our rig every three weeks from one spot to another, mixing our air up constantly, to make sure no one becomes 'residents' of the RV park.
Not much concern about protecting the NOMAD community here. Just move, move, move during #ShelterINPLACE!
This next week the three of us were going to be heading down to SoCal to watch our daughter graduate from college. She has been completing her final semester online these past two months while working as an essential worker and taking three weeks off to fight the coronavirus.
My oldest son and daughter in law got caught up in the whole you must get back to the USA right now mess back in March. They had to cut ten days off of the trip they had been planning to Bali for a year to rush back into quarantine world.
Fortunately, they came back through Los Angeles and did not get trapped in the mess on the east coast and Chicago with thousands of people stuck person to person to person in the airports for hours and days.
My youngest son was flying in from NYC for the graduation, as well. He was also going to meet his new nephew, son of his partner's twin brother, for the first time. Just two weeks old now, the family has decided company is a really bad idea. Especially from New York! Not that anyone can blame them. Protect the babies!
So, no family visits this MAY!
June was the really big month! Wedding time!
The entire family was getting together for the first time in two years. The first time since my eldest son's wedding in July 2018! All six kids.
Three grandbabies! The first time to see my new granddaughter who was born in September! And all of the significant others. Plus my daughter from another mother, as well!
First my daughter's graduation ceremony is canceled. Now, her wedding has had to be postponed...for an entire year! Hearing people complain able not being able to get their haircut or having wear masks are just selfish t&@$s.
People are dying, losing their jobs and homes. Lives are being completely upended, but yeah, your hair is a bit scraggly, sure.
Meanwhile, as people nay say the need for masks and still ridiculously claim COVID is still a hoax, one wonders how places like Disneyland and Universal Studios have even a chance of opening any time soon.
After years upon years of being spoon feed teeny tiny bits of news intermixed sugar sweet happy thoughts to make it more palatable for thin skinned lives, how does one make a real threat like a death virus running rampant real to the 'faux' news embracers.
The ones who would rather believe one person saying 'don't wear masks over the hundreds saying do, because that's what they want to hear.
I want to go to the beaches, the theme parks and visit with family and friends. I miss just sitting in the theater with a large bucket of buttered popcorn watching Iron Man save the world.
Sitting at home and social distancing, zooming instead of visiting in person is our way of saving the world.
Right now, Super Heroes don't wear capes, they wear masks!
