Good Evening, Friends:
I've survived 3 whole weeks of quarantine! And today, there has been a lot of promising news in the news.
Not exactly good news. Yet. More like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit. Or an Apple in front of a horse.
Whatever the saying is...
Our stimulus checks are on their way! I have heard reports from friends of friends on Facebook that have already received theirs.
Good thing, because I am not sure I am actually getting unemployment. When I went online last night to claim another week, it said I needed to start over. I was confused. I had not received my first check, and I have lost all concept of time in quarantine, but I do have Google calendar. I didn't lose a week.
So I resubmitted. Then today, on talk radio, I heard the Oregon unemployment website crashed and everyone was being told to start over.
Start over. Not what any of us want to hear right now.
"Move forward", "open up the country", "go back to work"...now those words are music to my ears!
But our leaders have not made any promises yet. Just dangling that dang carrot.
Trump hinted at early May. But medical authorities say we need to proceed with caution. And as we've heard, we will not be going back to normal; we will be proceeding into a new world. And a new normal.
There is talk about "testing and tracing".
Ever read "1984"? Is this "Big Brother" at last?
I'm seeing the light at end of the tunnel. But I'm still holding my breath.
And praying. A lot.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Be well.
Love,
Zita
