21 Days to Work With

I went into the office today.  I turned in an expense report right before we started sheltering in place, and it got lost.  The company owes me $405.00.  I had to go in and find my receipts so I could recreate the report.

There are a lot of cars on the road.  Makes me wonder where all these people are going if we are still under the shelter in place order.  The thirty-minute drive was the longest I've taken in weeks.  Hard to believe I used to drive it every day.  Already the memories fade.  What do they say? It takes a minimum of 21 days to start a new behavior.  Well, we certainly surpassed that minimum.

I saw a few people in the office. No one was actually wearing a mask except me, but no one was actually close to anyone else.  There are going to be different levels of adherence to the guidelines depending on people's opinions.

In the center of Michigan, damns are failing, and there is widespread flooding.  I am not a religious man, but isn't this how they describe the end of times?  Plague, famine, and floods?

In case you haven't noticed, I have not been very cheerful lately. No, it is not because I haven't gotten laid lately.  The last 12 months have just been one thing after another.  Billy left in August, I had those pains throughout December, dad died at the end of January, and now I have been sheltering since March.  Honestly, the next 12 months don't look much better.
