Fuck this pandemic. There, I said it. I was loving the no commute to work, no makeup and no doing my hair but legit, fuck this pandemic. I find myself more stressed at 5 p.m. than ever before. For work, I sit on my Ikea desk chair from 8 am to 10 am. Then when Carter comes down for school time, I give him that chair and I use the shitty-ass flea market chair that I have yet to reupholster along with a pillow under my ass.
I’m Tired of Thinking
I’m tired of being mindful when I go out. I don’t want to have to use my coat sleeves to open a door. I don’t want to limit my touching of things. Since my grocery store doesn’t have anti-bacterial wipes, I bring one in to the store with me. I don’t want to worry that I didn’t get the entire cart then worry that I’m touching that part that I didn’t get. I’m tired of looking at folks with plastic gloves and being jealous. 20 years ago, I was jealous of a pair of stilettos or a handbag.
I Don’t Want to Wash My Hands Anymore
Full disclosure, when I went to the restroom at home, I never washed my hands. Sure, when you came over for dinner I would wash my hands but not when I’m alone. Now I fuckin’ wash my hands ALL THE TIME. In my car, I have a full bottle of anti-bacterial and when I get in my car I squirt a dollop of it on my hands. I then use my anti-bacterial wipes and wipe down my key-fab, cell phone and anything else my hands touched in public.
I Cringe at Most Shows Where They Aren’t Social Distancing
I Cringe at Most Shows Where They Aren’t Social DistancingI watch tv to get away like everyone else. What makes me cringe now are commercials and shows made prior to March 2020 where people are having a love fest. No one is social distancing and it bugs me. I have to remind myself that life was different just 60 days ago. I’ll tell you this, I’m borderline wanting to have a hug-fest. I want to say “fuck everything” and invite everyone to my hug-fest. I really wasn’t a hugger growing up but as I learned how good a hug feels, I want to hug EVERYONE, especially now.
I Don’t Want to See One More Corona Virus Commercial
I AM SO SICK OF CORONA VIRUS COMMERCIALS! The commercials are usually in black and white and are photos of either nurses or moms teaching their kids. I’m sick and tired of it. I want stupid, mindless commercials again. Things like that, I call cotton candy for the brain and occasional cotton candy is so good for us. Great, congratulfuclations. I know that you know there is a pandemic happening. It’s like when in the beginning, every company from Nike to Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, sent out emails about how they were dealing with the pandemic. Thank God Auntie Anne’s tool the necessary precautions to safeguard my pretzel bites.
Words & Phrases That Should be Forbidden Starting in 2021
I never, ever, ever want to hear the following after this is all done:
- Stay home
- Social distancing
- Quarantine
- Wash your hands
- Flatten the curve
- New normal
These words have become so annoying to me, they are quickly gaining speed on other words I hate such as moist and panties.
So this post has no other goal than to allow me to vent. I’m venting and you gentle reader, get to read said vent. Are you over this world? Do you seriously want to throat punch someone or something? Maybe scream into a pillow? Just please make sure that pillow has been disinfected.
Venting is the best!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I needed to vent. We all do!
i can’t social distance from my wife now that i feel well, fuck that. I did that when I had “it”. Someone could tell me we’re playing russian roulette, but i refuse to give up my intimacy with my spouse.
So you had Coronavirus? What were your symptoms? And yeah, you and your wife should totally NOT social distance. Especially if you’re now immune.
But am I immune ? I honestly worry that without a vaccine or cure in place and the fact that medical scientists still don’t know anything. Even with half of Pa reopening, I am in no rush to go mask free in large crowds. I had asthma issues (but that usually happens in Spring) my wife had cough with pain in chest and tested negative, she insisted i test. for 2 weeks my fever was high, i felt weak, had a hard time showering, got nauseous in hot showers. Lost my appetite. But never felt sick enough to be hospitalized. I had a cough but it was minor. Never felt 100% for almost a month.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your symptoms. If one thing has surprised me, it’s been the range of symptoms people experience from the same virus. As for immunity, I guess it hasn’t been confirmed but it’s assumed based on past cases?
We had the virus. I got it first because I’m an Uber driver. I get to come into contact with everything man has to offer. For me, it was like a bad cold, but when my husband came down with it, he seemed to be on death’s door. However, I agree with you, FU** this virus and all of its accompanying words. The phrase “social distancing” makes me want to vomit in the same way that seeing the stupid “heart hands” does.
Just wanted to add a bit to your vent! Felt good!
I felt a little more “venty” reading your comment so thank you! As for your husband getting it, the man cold alone is enough to bring you to your knees and consider adult daycare so I can’t imagine the coronavirus! And yes, that f’ing stupid heart! Sure some of the commercials have almost made me cry then my anti-depressant kicks in and is like, “not today girl….”
Girl, I am soooo with you!
Yes! And I swear to God I’m gonna make snow angels in the middle of every mall in a 20 mile radius when this is all said and done!
Please video that.
Oh, you know I will. Lol!
We do not seem to have any pandemic commercials here except the rare announcement from CDC. Life in TV land goes right on like ours used to, but never will again. That is what erks me! Wonder how long it will be until it is scripted into shows? Of course, TV news is all COVID epidemic news. It is if there is nothing else happening in the world. Well, maybe there isn’t. Who would know?
