What I’ve learned (so far) during the pandemic

  1. Some of ya’ll is DUMB. There was a meme going around that gargling salt water cured coronavirus. The first time I saw it, the person that posted it had one comment. I clicked, hoping for a smackdown, but instead saw “Thanks for sharing!” The fifth time I saw someone share it, I lost the will to live.
  2. The worst person isn’t the person making jokes here and there as some claim, that actually helps me more than watching the same news conferences over and over. The worst person is the one who immediately or constantly has to beat us over the head with politics. It’s too early to slap the “History will judge” tag on every. single. story. Calm down and take a walk. Just not near anyone else.
  3. My dog is way more annoying than I thought.
  4. My kids are a source of unending energy and should be studied by the government as a clean source of fuel. (Looks at Congress trying to cram partisan stuff into two different bills for COVID relief). OK, maybe not.
  5. I have WAY less free time than I envisioned. For all these people without children watching Netflix specials and learning to crochet or whatever, I’ve watched one movie on my phone since this lockdown of bars and restaurants started.
  6. If I worked from home all the time, I would be 600 pounds, but could probably do more pushups.

That’s all so far, my daughter wants me to read Dopey Loses the Diamonds for the 73rd time.
