COVID Blues

Howdy!

Not a whole lot going on in my world. I had some strange dreams last night. One in particular that a porn star I like was my brother and he was begging me for sex. That was kind of fun but a little scary. It told me that it was time for a release. Sexually frustrated, yeah been that way for many years now. Perhaps when all of this COVID mess is more under control I will be able to find, meet and get a nice guy. Lord knows I deserve it.

Speaking of the COVID mess, I am really frustrated and appalled at the lack of leadership at the Federal level of government. They have this stick your head in the sand approach and hope the problem goes away. That works great when your 2 years old and can live in a fantasy. However, it doesn’t really solve a problem. We need a mandatory mask law; we need to go back into a closed state – meaning back to like we were as a country in late March. It’s not fun and I know no one likes it. I get that it costs people their jobs and they have no money. However, it’s the only proven way to slow the spread. I think that it would be reasonable to live with these restrictions until things calmed down a bit and then do a slow re-re open but don’t move beyond that to a full-blown open state that most states are in now. It’s proven disastrous. However, that’s just my thoughts/opinion it’s doesn’t mean I am right and it doesn’t mean I am wrong. I know for certain right now no one has a magic bullet cure all for this and the Federal Government should have a much more aggressive and rapid response in place other than the stick your head in the sand and live with it approach. People are not only getting seriously ill they are dying and some of this can be averted if the Federal Government would get its head in the game.

I’ve grown very tired of being isolated at home and only getting out on weekends for a couple of brief trips. I know the cats love me to death because I am home. However, this isn’t a forever thing. It’s going to go on probably for the remainder of the year and into part of next year but at some point, in time I will be driving back to the office every day and then driving home. It will be a culture shock to both them and me. Frankly I look forward to it and welcome it. There are some people I am glad I am not seeing but the majority of people I want to see. I do not miss traffic one bit. I would like to drop the extra weight I have put on and even a couple pounds below that.

This is probably the greatest test of patience and sanity that one will ever endure. I know that I can put on some proper clothes and get in my vehicle and head to a restaurant to grab a bite to eat but doing so mask or not, places my health at risk. Depending upon who has been in the restaurant that risk can be high, medium or low. However, it’s not a risk that I want to take. I have to be here for the cats, if they weren’t around and I was truly all alone then I wouldn’t much care and would probably be eating out by now.

In other news, my DVR finally made me give in and erase all of my saved programming. The TV Guide refused to update. I had been through several resets and grew tired of it. If it goes out one more time, I am calling for service, all of the money I pay each month – this thing should work flawlessly with no intervention from me. It has for the most part until recently. It seems much happier now that there is little data on the disk, me thinks the hard drive is in the process of failing and that eventually it is going to totally give up and quit on me, perhaps I am wrong.

I do look like a bum with not cutting my hair and it’s starting to actually get long, it’s not my imagination. I am seriously considering cutting it but part of me kind of wants to keep playing along and letting it grow. I think that I could get to the point where people wouldn’t recognize me with longer hair.

Recently got into watching Happy Days, it’s on everyday in the evening. Life was different back then. Ron Howard sure was good looking in his day. It’s just interesting to see how life has changed since then. I do think those were much simpler times compared to today (minus the COVID).

Watched Horrible Bosses for the second time, I forgot that I had already seen it. I’ve come to really enjoy Fitz & The Tantrums music. Money grabber is a great song but I have been listening to all of their tunes on Spotify.

Well it’s about time to sign off for the day, climb back up to the hotter part of the house and enjoy my evening, even if I do have to take out the trash. I’m either having a Beef Burrito or something frozen, have to check out what’s in the freezer to weigh my options.

I hope it’s a beautiful day in your neighborhood and we will talk again soon! Take care.
