Year 2 - Day #106...Stormy
Jul. 1st, 2021 10:01 pmEdgy. There's electricity in the air, and my sugar levels/hormones may be up, who knows.

Covid
Tonight's news comes from the Governor's Office and New York Department of Health and Human Services - via a nifty newsletter that I get bi-weekly.
Good news? Or sort of. We only had two people die of COVID today (that we know about, it could have been more - they only count the cases in the hospital, which are confirmed by medical personnel. They are kind of anal about it. There's a lot of cases - I think they should have counted, and haven't. I know co-workers whose family members died of this thing within two weeks of getting it - and they aren't counted. That's why I get so pissed off at the naysayers.)
( from the Governor's email )
And per the NY Times..
( it's nothing new or that most people with half-a-brain hadn't figured out on their own. )

I decided today, that it is time for me and the universe to have a few words. I want a vacation from this. It needs to provide me with an opportunity for one. OR I will go insane.
Also, there's quite a few folks I'd like to force to walk the plank and swim with the fishes. Still. Just saying.
The phrase - "Sorry, not sorry" is annoying. Can we make whomever came up with it walk the proverbial plank and swim with the sharks? If you aren't sorry - do us a favor? Don't speak. See? Easy. Requires no effort. It's kind of one of those useless phrases. Such as "I could care less". Yes, okay, that's nice. But if you didn't care - why do you feel the need to announce it?

Like I said, irritable. At least I can sleep in tomorrow. Taking a four day weekend - and going to the Van Gough Immersion Exhibit tomorrow - my first excursion into the city since...2019. I don't think I've been in Manhattan since 2019. Actually I've not traveled outside of the island I'm living on since 2019. I've been to Jamaica, Queens, and various places in Brooklyn and that's about it. Also last friend I saw in person was a co-worker.
I feel very disconnected right now. Only connection appears to be a computer, and the telephone.
ETA: Restrictions lifting.
Church has two social activities - one is potluck dinners on its porch again in late July, Early August, and the other is a Covenant Group that may actually meet in person at the church. (I'm tempted.)
Broadway is coming back. The Bruce Springsteen Show has been a success, and the rest are planning to return by September. [I'm waiting until 2022.]
All of this reminds me a great deal of the Great Pandemic of 1918, which lasted until 1922, but folks kind of stopped worrying about it sometime around 1920.
