I think everything is finally catching up with me. In a deep funk tonight. I thought I was doing a pretty good job of keeping everything in check, but when we made a brief run to Target this morning it all started falling apart. Whereas a week ago, with the exception of the paper products aisle and anything disinfectant-related being sold out, pretty much everything else was the same as always. There were fresh veggies, meat, frozen items, and ready-to-eat products in quantity. Not so today. It was as if a swarm of locusts moved through the store. And it still makes absolutely no sense to me at the items that are sold out. We were able to get the items we needed, but it was just…sad.
So then we came home to another rambling bather-fest by the orange menace in the White House. When are these news organizations just going to stop broadcasting his every dim-witted word salad? We need leadership, not bullshit.
And it doesn't help that AutoNation is still dicking around with my financing. I was told a week ago the loan had been approved by Belco Credit Union and I'd shortly be getting a welcome call from them. Lies. AutoNation's finance guy called this morning asking me to send them proof of employment because Belco was asking for it—even though I'd sent this to my salesman earlier in the week when he requested it. I swear one hand doesn't know what the other is doing at that place.
Frankly, I don't mind being cooped up in the house. Truth be told I was looking forward to this scenario as my retirement. You know, not having to go out and deal with people on a daily basis. The dogs obviously love it, even if they seem a bit confused why Ben and I are home all day. And they're certainly enjoying their evening walks (because neither Ben or I are used to just sitting at a desk all day; even I am used to walking to and from the parking garage, walking across the building to hit the restroom, and going to lunch).
So that's where we stand at the moment. I'm in a deep Sunday evening funk (deeper than my usual Sunday evening funk). I know there's a light at the end of this tunnel, but no one can see it yet, and the Federal Government is doing nothing to install confidence that they even know what they're doing. Thankfully local and state governments seem to be stepping up as best they can.
So how are y'all doing? Leave a comment below…
Hitting me hard. I'm so disappointed in the human race and our alleged leadership. No civility. No logic. No sympathy not empathy. We are seeing the ugliest sides of humanity and I hate it. The ONLY silver lining is having an excuse to stay inside at home with hubby and dogs and avoiding the rest of society.
Like you I'm in a funk. Part of it is from going stir-crazy from not being able to go out and just do things, but most of it is from witnessing what's going on around us. Family members that think Cheeto is doing a fantastic job with this crisis and calling for the resignation of Pelosi. Some friends who's biggest concern with all of this is whether there'll be a leather party in a couple of weeks. And the hoarding. So much hoarding.
I think I'm just tired of having to deal with stupid people. So. Much. Stupidity. Maybe this pandemic will thin the herd.
I hope both of you are safe and well.
Very glad I bought some air bud pros the week before this all went down, ostensibly for my commute, but I think more to make sure I could tune out in our tiny apartment while we're both stuck here working. I'm definitely the home body of the two of us, so I'm mostly okay, but I think my husband is going to go nuts before this is over. As long as I can still kick him out of the apartment for a long walk outside he should be okay.
