COVID

It's going to be a long spring.  Sookie and Atticus look out at the bird feeder in the back yard.  I flew back from San Antonio on March 3rd.  I had work to do in the city on the 4th and then I told Tim - we really needed to get out of the city and head upstate. The Covid virus was going to hit the city and hit hard and we just needed to be in a safe place. We grabbed our two cats and some things and headed upstate.  It is now April 11 and we are going on being house bound for a month and a half.  We shop every couple weeks and go to the post office and the dump but haven't ventured out at all beyond that.  Both of us are working remotely as our offices are closed.  I feel like I am on a perpetual Ground Hog Day reel.  Get out of bed, work on the computer, cook dinner, watch Netflix, go to bed, repeat. We have not done much at all. The news has been awful with the daily Covid cases increasing by the thousands and deaths as a result of this horrible disease increasing as well.

The dysfunction and chaos that is happening on the Federal level is outrageous.  Thank God for Cuomo who rises to the occasion every time. New York is the hardest hit state but Cuomo's leadership has been amazing. I just don't know what the outcome of all of this could be?  What will our lives look like in a few months?  This administration showing absolutely no plan or leadership.

Meanwhile, we just work, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime, occasionally go outside but it's so early to be outside or we go down to the basement and work on projects. Sookie and Atticus have acclimated to being in the guest room indefinitely.  We had to cat proof it as they can be quite destructive. I moved a feeder pole out in front of their window and they watch the birds feed all day. They seem comfortable.
