Yay For the Covid Heroes

The lockdown is a knock down. We can all run back out there! So we are dancing in the streets. I drive to town to dance with people. Yay, for the Covid heroes! I yell it too, only more loudly. This strange person I do not know glares at me. My first instinct is to stick out my tongue. Really mature my inner voice chides me. Yay, for the Covid heroes! Now I get it. It is annoying to be mimicked. This yell from my least favorite neighbor. She gallops over to see what I am about. Going to the store, I tell her. Better be off. Yay, for the Covid heroes! I agree they should be revered and honored. Cherished and lifted onto pedestals. I have the utmost respect for what they have done. But it is driving me insane that we are all yelling the same five words. Yay, for the Covid heroes!

Caren, sadly I am not expecting good to come of all this. I have my own (unpopular) opinions about it. Let's just hope by summer we will be dancing on the streets however!

I am having horrible "withdrawal pains" from not seeing my children at school, my own children and my grandchildren. This is misery for me.

For sure, one track does not work with minds such as ours. There is always one more thing to concentrate on. Yay say the naysayers...all in good fun. (funny face) since we don't have use to such images.

I am so ready for this to be over, and apparently some experts think it has just begun. What to believe? I have NO idea!
