Day 4
I've been telling everyone how calm and blessed I feel - I've resigned myself to 2020 being a write off. I think we won't be seeing the end of this until Christmas, there will be no return to school - maybe even a repeat of the year for everyone.
Pause. Reset.
Last night I watched an old ep of "Workaholics" before heading to bed.
I felt tired but not sleepy so I decided to take one of Andrew's herbal sleep tablets.
An hour later I awoke. It was 2.30am and very quiet but I sensed AB was awake also.
I really wanted to get up and write the fully formed slabs of words and feels, but I knew I needed to sleep so I fought the urge.
Andrew came back to bed from getting a drink of water and as I fluffed my pillow and turned over, I saw his eyes wide open and staring into the dark. He didn't see me.
I didn't ask him what he was thinking of, there was no point.
Yesterday I read the story of a wealthy Melbourne couple that had flown from the USA, refused testing, flown to a 21st in Sydney, refused testing, played golf, and resumed their busy social and business lives. When neighbours reported them for bad behaviour, the high flying couple labelled their detractors "bored housewives"
Please be careful people.
Stay Inside, Stay Well, and avoid others, who may not care as much as you.

That is one of my favourite quotes from The Great Gatsby! And I'm now thinking about lots of other parallels that could be drawn from that novel...
ReplyDeleteI tried to LIKE your comment... cue momentary confusion ...
DeleteI read today that the rich brought us this virus (cruises / overseas travels etc) but the poor are the ones who will be broken by it. I wanted to win that $80 million powerball so much, so I wouldn't have to worry about me and all my people.
ReplyDeleteI think that's somewhat true :( If you have access to good health care and feel your money can save you, does it matter if a few maids get trampled? If you think of any rich bad guy in a movie though, literally the last thing they do before meeting an untimely devise, is to thrust money at everyone and anyone, desperately, before plunging into the depths of hell.
