It’s been a weird year so far.
Obviously, COVID-19 is turning the year into a dumpster fire globally.
People are showing their true character. Some are heroes. Some are survivors.
Some are narcissists. Some are monsters. Some are anarchists.
It’s a good time to stay away from people. Not only because hey, COVID could kill you, but also because hey, they could kill you. It’s not as bad here compared with a lot of other places, but there are still people who struggle and argue against sane precautions.
For us though, little has changed. I can’t say *nothing* has changed, that’s not true. Grocery shopping is now online shopping, and that’s been a rollercoaster. Our normal weekend outings and weekday takeout, also put on extended hold.
Other than that.. it’s all pretty normal. It’s not like we are highly social individuals, and we both enjoy this home we’ve made. If it wasn’t for seasonal allergies I’d say there’s little to personally complain about.
Allergies however provide ample fuel for complaints. I remember not having a plugged nose. I believe it was *last September*! I’m hoping it passes.
We have a fair amount of home maintenance work to do this year, that’s unchanged. Luckily for us we have a contractor who is working during this period, so fences will continue to get mended (and extended) and the concrete pad for shed #2 will be placed.
2 more buildings on our property – a shed and a gazebo, and we’ll be ‘done’ adding structures. Only the shed will get built this year however, but it’ll keep us busy this summer – these are nontrivial, and even when it’s build it still needs to be sealed, painted, insulated and have a path carved into the yard.
Gosh, I’m getting tired just thinking about it 😀
Circles
Starlight so stunning and brilliant
The circle keeps spinning around me
My love, my God, what have I done to you?
I’ve lost my one in a million
I go insane a thousand times
My circle of friends is shrinking down
I get so far down, I can only hope
I jump / move away, it gets lonely now
It keeps spinning around me (x3)
Tuesday, I walk to the Village
I know that my vote doesn’t count anymore
I got my opinions about you
I keep them inside of the ballot box
I stuff all my thoughts and the feelings down
I get so far down, I got too far gone
I’ve lost my one in a million
Air disappears, my balloon it is gone
(Reaching out, taking my hand)
You made me understand that life is too short now
(Reaching out)
And we don’t have the time that we had
When we were younger
My love, oh God, I am sorry
For everything we’ve been through
When I cry I see millions of circles
In the sky so blue
Nobody deserves to be lonely
No one should be left alone because
Time doesn’t wait, it will only accelerate
As the days and the months and the years go by
When I cry I see millions of circles
By
When I cry I see millions of circles
(By)
My love, oh God, I am sorry
For everything we’ve been through
When I cry I see millions of circles
In the sky so blue
