I'm not sure how to put this or whether or not to even write this. But the past week I seem to be having the feeling of stress, anxiety, whatever you want to call it. A feeling of alienation. One of my daughters is working in the front lines, in an E.R. in a Vancouver hospital. Even though she is in full haz mat gear and tested every 48 hours I am worried about her. Feeling useless and guilty. Guilty that I am not allowed to do my job right now, I am considered high risk and was told to go home. I know I could make a difference, I know I could help and it's frustrating.
I'm not whining I promise all of you, it's just that I have never felt this way. And I don't know what to do about it and considering what I do for a living that statement is hilarious. Thanks for listening I think I needed to say this to people I trust. Going to scrub some floors now. Stay safe, be well and God bless.
I hope you feel better soon - sending a prayer for you and your daughter (can you go outside at all?) Maybe some exercise in the fresh air might help - I find my exercise bicycle is helping me burn off some stress lately {a good sweat followed by a hot bath helps a lot}
Stay safe!
And no of course you are not whining

I have only ever known one Satanist in my life. It's ironic that he had a biblical name like Christopher. He just radiated darkness and evil. He actually read a lot of Stephen King, but that still wasn't enough for me to wanna be friends with him. He was without a doubt the biggest jerk I've ever known. In addition to being a Satanist, he also treated women like garbage. He was a white supremacist too, but I don't think he belonged to a far-right group. I hardly ever wear black anymore because it reminds me of him.
There's a a lot of evil people in this world. You have to be careful who you associate with. Their beliefs can influence you as well.

He was one of those people. I used to wonder if there were any bodies in his basement or his backyard.

Some people don't realize that their actions have consequences. When you treat people badly, it affects the course of their life and how they in turn treat other people in the future. We are all a product of our experiences. Some folks believe in karma. What comes around goes around.

Karma is real. And the old adage "what goes around comes around" is very true. The glass is ever half full. The good that we and other people do, makes up for so much of the bad things. ......the Butterfly Effect is real too.

I love that movie The Butterfly Effect. I will have to watch it again. People don't give Ashton Kutcher the credit he deserves, because of his looks and the fact that he was in 2 TV sitcoms. He's actually a really good actor when he wants to be.

Well, we got ourselves a cat. A 7 month old male named Toby. Orange with darker orange stripes. He is still acclimating to our home. But so far he has proven to be a beautiful and well spoken cat.

He's a talker. That's cool. I've had a few of those over the years. Orange Tabby's......"Marmalade" kitties.

My random thought is that some people must be developing over active imaginations due to the isolation:
The "alligator" turned out to be a beaver
The pic shows the beaver has a clip in its ear (I wonder if this is the one they spotted?)

To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew
And drink the milk of paradise
I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book, I took a clue
I scaled the frozen mountain tops
Of eastern lands unknown
Time and man alone
Searching for the lost, Xanadu
Xanadu
To stand within the pleasure dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honey dew
And drink the milk of paradise, oh, paradise
A thousand years have come and gone
But time has passed me by
Stars stopped in the sky
Frozen in an everlasting view
Waiting for the world to end
Weary of the night
Praying for the light
Prison of the lost, Xanadu
Xanadu
Held within the pleasure dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste my bitter triumph
As a man, immortal man
Never more shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honey dew
And drunk the milk of paradise, whoa, paradise
Xanadu by Rush Lyrics by Neil Peart

Neil Peart was a big fan of the writings of Ayn Rand.
