So I finished round five! Hurrah! Now on to the global pandemic or what I like to call a really bad version of a really long episode of “Black Mirror”. Tomorrow afternoon hubby and I are hitting the road to much denser pastures of Jersey. Having heard the horror stories of people stockpiling from supermarkets there we’re not sure what we’ll find. My apartment hallway looks like we’re preparing for a trip to a shore house with piles of toilet paper, toiletries, soups etc. We’ve stocked up on the bare essentials - you know - smoked salmon, whitefish salad, caviar (yes caviar), and an assortment of squashes to ensure fresh veggies. I also placed a $600 order with Shoprite to be delivered on Wednesday. Did I mention I have an entire freezer full of Omaha Steaks and fish? I’m sure those survivalists are laughing at us now with their stockpiles of water and dried food. They’ve been waiting for years to eat out of that bucket they bought from costco. I’m sure it’s delish!
My mind is also thinking about travel and that celebratory trip I‘m taking after my last treatment coming up April 2. Oh yes, I’m going somewhere...the islands be damned I’ve convinced my best friends to go and somehow I dread it won’t happen. I know Jetblue will travel bank my miles when we cancel for a reschedule but will they also extend my Mosaic privileges another year so I get treated like royalty???
I really should focus on the more important things in life but worry will overcome me. Like my daughter being afraid to give me the virus - in case she has it - so she’s staying alone in her apt in the city with some friends around; or my parents who we had to try to convince to take the Coronavirus seriously and after all those conversations still wanted to go to home depot to get hinges (or something equally ridiculous); to my friends and employees in St Lucia, with limited medical care and the fact that no one is going to the villa so we had to cut everyone’s hours; not to mention the stock market, the devastation of the tourism and entertainment industry......but we still have our health (as they say!).... at least today as I’ve finished round five I’m on the edge of finishing and truly getting my health back. Mom thank goodness you’re not here to see all of this madness - but I still miss sharing it with you.
