Corona Virus........ $hit is real

Cardi B said it right when she said “Corona Virus…. Shit is real. We are living in a weird world right now. A global pandemic has hit and shit has been real scary. In a world where everything is a joke, sadly this isn’t. We make a meme out of everything so where and when will people start realizing that we need to take social distancing for real.

I’m heading towards the closing of week two from WFH and things have been going swimmingly. My job has been amazing through out this whole ordeal. I really am truly grateful to work for a company that puts their employees first and helps them through out this tumultuous time. Work as a medical adjuster has been quite slow since people have been staying at home and off the road. I’ve been able to bring down my workload which is a high priority for me. My career is very important to me and it’s something I take pride in and am very proud of. Its a great feeling when you love what you do and who you work for.

Being able to WFH and staying in my bubble has been pretty good. I live on my own and have control of what happens to me and staying connected to what’s happening in the real world. Creating a balance between wearing a tin foil hat and being true to your normal self, it’s important to meet in the middle. During these times you have to stay informed and you also have to stay true. If you’re a jokester, its OK to share that meme here and there. If you’re that religious person, then continue to stay true to yourself.

When news broke out all of a sudden on the spread of COVID-19, I won’t lie, my PTSD from 9/11 kicked in. I was incredibly anxious, my hands were shaking, I was scared to drive and get all the necessities before things really hit the fan. 45 aka the president, I refuse to use his name because in all honestly, this term is a whole joke and I hate realizing that he was voted in but not to make this about him and getting back to the story, I had gotten a call from my best friend around 10pm and she got me so nervous and had reacted as if it was DEFCOM 6 and we were all about to die that I just got in my car to fill up my tank and headed to Walmart to get everything I needed to hole up at my place and be ready for the quarantine that was bound to happen.

Since things have settled for now, I prefer being in my space and practicing my routines so that I don’t get stir crazy.

By writing this I wanted to bring light that it is normal to feel anxious and to be scared of the current times. I hope that my confessions lol of my experience so far brings you a little bit of peace and remind everyone that we’re all in this together, HSM style lol.
