Slow!

Life is pretty dull right now.

Normally this week at work is dead for us. We wondered if it would be the same this year. Nothing has been the same this year. So we didn't know what to expect.  We are booked for several weeks so what I mean by slow is the phones don't ring off the hook all day long. I was at my desk at 8:15am and not a single call until 9:30am. That is so weird. Normally on a Monday, I don't get a momentary reprieve of calls, emails, and more calls.  Today by 10am I had  2 calls and a couple of weekend emails to address. That was it! Slower than when the pandemic started.  

Now in the old days, I'd take this time to do things I don't normally have time for.
Some require me to leave my house. So those aren't getting done.
Some require just doing household things, but I did that all weekend.
So now this gives me time to clean my incredibly messy office. 
But will I?😊Ah, that is the big question.

Did you see the 28 yr old who went to a party? Somewhere in the south. 
I believe Texas. He and the majority of the kids there got sick. He posted on FB how bad this was and he was sorry if he got anyone sick. He said it was so much worse than anything he thought possible. The next day he died. Do you think kids hear this? 
I want us to be like New Zealand - only 1 case has reared its head recently after having no cases. They are able to trace this because they were on 5 weeks of level 4 lockdown. Now when they get 1 case, they can track it. How it got there, who went where or did what kind of information. They can learn.  A leader with a PLAN. Who would have thought a plan in place was a good idea? 

My oven stopped working Friday night. Friday night has become Rick's nacho night. I build them on a big cookie sheet and even though everything is already cooked and warm I bake them a few minutes for the cheese to really melt.
But after making them and the oven not coming on we did them on the grill. WOW was that good. The smokiness of the grill added a nice touch. Rick is doing all kinds of nachos of late. BBQ nachos with pulled pork. He changes up the cheeses and the peppers and all the toppings to work with pork. Last week he made Buffalo Chicken wing nachos with blue cheese, celery chopped (instead of scallions) mozzarella cheese, and honestly, I can't recall all the Fixin's he used but damn, those were very good. 
He has to stop this Friday night nacho party because I like them and can eat them and then I do. See the problem?  I told him to go back to his Friday night pizza, I can't eat pizza so I generally have a salad. See the issue? Yes, It's me. 😉

I have noticed that during the pandemic fewer people are coming to the blog. Less are commenting. It's like weekend numbers only during the week. You would think that the pandemic would be reason for more to be home and to write/read. But instead, no one is updating their blogs or barely visiting others.
I find that very interesting. Depression? Pandemic Funk? Or other fun Pandemic things comes to mind here. Have you all noticed?
