Life with COVID19

I don’t know about anyone else, but lately I feel like I am in an old Rod Sterling’s episode of the Twilight Zone.  With the empty streets and unseen pending disaster.  I hear the old theme song in my head.  With Mr. Sterling saying “Now we are entering a small town in the Twilight Zone.  People are panicked about an unseen danger. There is a rush on for supplies.  The shelf’s are empty.

We are now entering a suburban home with a husband and wife. They are trying to live a normal life. Trying to make sense of the world around them.   In the Twilight Zone.... more ominous music. Cut to wife taking a walk and the neighbor is explaining to his child that we now have to stay away from other people. Stay on his side of the street.   She will stay on the other.

The news of the object called COVID19  is all that is on the television. They even stopped reporting on earthquakes. So the couple escape by watching old reruns on television.  The wife is knitting for a distant event. The husband surfing the web.

Unfortunately this is not an episode of the Twilight Zone, this is Tucson Arizona in springtime of 2020.  Welcome to my life.

On the bright side, you know I have to end on the bright side of life.  Another project bag is empty.
