It's amazing how our lives and world has changed in the last 10 months.
We started off the year in high hopes. It was 2020, a start of a new decade, it was to be a great year! And then we are thrown into something most of us never thought we would ever seen in our life time. A Worldwide Pandemic. I mean when most of us use to think of those words, the first thing that came to mind was ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE! Impossible right? And then there were those crazy preppers, I'm not judging as we are sort of preppers. Who knew they had the right idea all along. Toilet paper, water, meat, eggs, sanitary and hygiene items, all in a shortage. Toilet paper, really? But as much as we want it, it is not a fictional story or horror movie anymore. It's become our regular day to day lives.
I've decided to write about my experience so far as an essential worker, wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, friend co-worker.... Not all of you have experienced what I have, and even other essential workers and I don't share similar stories. So here is an view into my life during this interesting year.
Note: My experiences will be all in Italics. A lot of this will be information from news sources, however I believe that sharing my experience will help people better understand what I have had to deal with, and make me wish I had kept a journal. It means a lot of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts to delve into! ALSO, the way BlogSpot works, it'll place the newest post at the top, that means that you will have to start at the furthest post and read in a weird order. GOOD LUCK!
