Chuggin' Along in COVID America
5 years ago
So it's been a second since I updated this page. Just another shout out to those I only have on FA nowadays that I'm still doing ok, I'm alive, and not much else has changed. Business is booming, and I feel a lot more confident then I did even from the last journal I left about a year ago.
Adjusting to COVID has been odd, even though we're not in a heavily hit area, but we're only a few hours out from NYC, and I have dozens of friends and family members down there who have been thrown for a loop. Not much has changed for us besides not being able to visit friends on the weekends, and wearing masks everytime we go out to buy supplies. I've been staying in the house a LOT more than usual of course, and it actually seems to be helping my seasonal pollen allergies, so I can't really complain.
Having Butters with me has been an absolute lifesaver, and we still manage to go out and do some fun things now that the weather is nice, away from other people. Isolating with him hasn't truly felt like isolating, and I'm super grateful I am not in an LDR at this point in time. I would go insane without hugs and kisses.
My birthday was a massive bust this year, as I'm an April baby and had plans to do something pretty big for the first time in ages, and had to reschedule for September, and now I don't even know if they'll allow me to reschedule again or get a refund. It was a decent amount of money I spent on tickets and travel and I will be VERY upset if something can't be done seeing as how this is all out of my control...Fingers crossed things are at least a little better by then.
Watching local small businesses shutter one by one has been really sobering and sad, as a small business owner myself I feel attached to these people on a different level, even though I don't know a lot of them well. I know what it takes to just jump and trust the chips will fall favorably, and invest a lot of money into something hoping it will turn out ok. And to have this happen and ruin so many people's dreams of being their own bosses in brick and mortar businesses is a new level of unfair to me. We were all woefully unprepared and the bitterness of capitalism is rearing it's ugly head right now.
I hope all is well with the FA world, I'm posting a lot more to my business page than here for marketing purposes, so if you feel so inclined you can follow me there, lsdfursuits
Hope everyone is doing ok and sheltering in place, may we get out of all of this stronger and better than ever! Hang in there!
