Sunday, April 5th, 2020 - Bowling Green, KY
Although I haven't posted here in a long time, I decided it would be a good opportunity to begin again, given the world's current circumstances.
I'm sure for many of us this is not how we anticipated the start of the 2020s. I know it wasn't how I intended it to start. I remember hearing in the news around a month and a half ago about this virus, COVID-19, that had originated in China, that had begun to spread globally. I had concerns regarding it, but I figured "It's still pretty far away, I'm sure we'll be safe for a while." Less than a month later, we're surrounded by it. In fact, my home county 30 minutes west of here has been infected. Definitely an eye opener.
I've been spending a lot of time isolated in my apartment. I've occasionally left to go to my parent's house, or to drive across town end-to-end. It's odd not making my normal stops each day, going to work, and seeing friends. It's odd sitting in the same seat every day, for most of the day. I hope this all ends soon, so we can return to a normal life.
Fortunately, I've had the ability to work from home, and do a lot of my daily tasks remotely. However, I feel that the social interactions that I had daily made some of the experiences fun and enjoyable.Without that, day to day life is dull.
I hope to continue to provide posts regarding this pandemic and the perspective of a guy from Kentucky during this time. I don't have much to offer, but maybe this will offer me an opportunity to tell my future kids about this period of my life, and to be thankful for the people around them.
God bless.
