It's Monday the 48th of Blurapmaj, although my calendar is calling it May 4. We are neither back to school or the office and it's still not looking good for either one anytime soon. I am moving at a glacier's pace toward starting back to school for a graduate degree. I expect a lot of class time for me will be spent online and I'm good with that. Pandemics can be both good and bad when you're a bit of an introvert.
The good part for me, besides saving gas, will be feeling safe. Staying home lets me avoid both crime and a virus. There's also the added bonus that even when this 'pandemic nightmare' is over I will be in no hurry to get out. Why the hell not?! You may ask? Everyone else is! Simply for that very reason, I will be happy to continue to stay home. This country reopening will be like Christmas on steroids. Despite lawmakers best efforts to 'protect the red shirts', you can bet that everywhere you go will be mobbed. I hate my fellow man, no thanks, I'll pass.
I will have to go out and in some instances, I'll want to. My gyms will eventually reopen and I don't think there'll be any Post pandemic resolutions to worry about. The other issue I have to figure out is Summer. Our little screen addict may not have a Summer camp this year, for obvious reasons. This, of course, leaves someone I know with too much free time. Nevermind the fact that she owns two loaded toy shelves of games and crafts. This kid has gone completely blind to anything not a video game. This not only frustrates the crap out of mommy but also puts me in a bit of a bind.
'Since when am I the entertainment committee? Find something to play with!' 'Will you get off your screens already?!' Therein lies the problem when you have an only child. The only in house babysitters are electronic! It's also hard to play a board game when you have no one else to play with. In a way, mom does end up being the entertainment committee, for at least part of the day. It's going to take a lot of planning to survive this summer. I see a few day trips in our future. The alcohol goes without saying.
