"It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine!." Popular music lyrics and the current world situations? The recent few days/weeks have been crazy hectic with work and the current world situation. COVID-19 the Coronavirus has taken hold of the world and if nothing else temporarily taught a few people how to wash there hands, taught some crazy brothers that profiteering on 18000 bottles of hand sanitizer can cause you legal issues and other crazy stuff. Business industries like restaurants are now starting to offer employees sick time (imagine that...a restaurant that forces sick employees to come to work?) a major bane in the USA food industry, now resolved. Places are going on lockdown and businesses are shuttering for the time being. Trying to slow the progression of the virus. Memes abound and hilarious stories are going viral. The US media is still fear-mongering the whole situation. But I feel fine.
Lynn and I have not gone out and binge bought a mountain of stuff we could never use. We could survive a 2-week lockdown. Would we want to? It depends on the safety of it all. But I feel fine.
The plants are doing great. At least I know that if things continue for 60-90 days I will have fresh lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beets, spinach, and yellow squash coming on without having to go shopping for it. If the pollen does not kill me first. My black truck is currently yellow. Please rain this week and wash this stuff away. I don't want to have to quarantine because allergies have given me symptoms that are too similar to COVID-19. But I do feel fine.
All joking aside. Lynn and I are doing great. Lynn did a good spring cleaning of the house on Friday, Saturday we say down with 5 yards of material and made new pillow covers and curtain ties for the living room, and a valance and table runner for the kitchen. It ties the house together well. Most of everything that we want to grow is planted. I have some spring onions and potatoes remaining. The spring onions will probably be planted in the next 24 hours and the potatoes are awaiting the delivery of a couple of grow bags that should be here in the next 48 hours. All told the container garden is starting off nicely. Will it sustain if the end of the world occurs? No. Will we survive anyway? Yeah. Is the world going to end? Only if the rock flying through our solar system that is supposed to pass earth late April has a slight course change and comes close enough to hit us. But as of the time of this writing, it is supposed to pass by something like 16 times the distance of the Earth and Moon. But I feel fine. Well, actually, besides the pollen causing allergies issues I feel really good.
