House Republicans to Trump, Drop Dead

130 Republicans broke with the President on the $2000 checks voting against him.

Next up, veto over ride. Could be interesting.

Feeling of dread

The last 8 months have been very difficult for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. I have been very careful to always wear a mask, have dramatically limited where I go, what I do, who I have over, how I have celebrated the holidays. I have gone to work because I have to, but my wife has been working from home as her job allowed her.

Watching the vaccine roll out of the plant and then go into the arms of healthcare workers brought me great pride in the human race and and I thought there would be a wave of relief.

I am more nervous now than I have been since the first day they started locking down. I have this heavy feeling of dread that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am not going to get there. I was so excited Sunday but have not slept well since.

Please, please, please, people, act responsibly, wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance, do all you can to keep the spread from reaching further into the fabric of our society.

I know I am preaching to the converted here but I had to say it somewhere in hopes that I get it off my chest and can maybe get some sleep tonight.

I feel like I hit the lottery

It was a strange day at my local Giant Foods.

I was able to buy 2 cans of Lysol, there were no paper towels, plenty of toilet paper, No gallons of milk, but a few half gallons of low fat milk, plenty of ice cream and meats lots of spaghetti but low on sauce.

It was an odd trip but the Lysol was the win of the week for me. One for work and one for home. I feel very lucky To have Lysol. That shows how crazy 2020 has been, happy for Lysol
