Coronavirus complaint/commiseration thread.

We did clean out the liquor cabinet.....

I've been doing this every night too, but haven't poured anything in the sink yet.

I mean, you could blast some Tupac, pour it on the ground, and record a video. Of the wife. In a wet tshirt.

We found a bag of about 40 mini bottles and there are some real gems in there. No idea where it came from...maybe a couple of booze piniatas and random crappy stocking stuffers....

And some random schnapps and other assorted weird shot mixers from theme parties over the years. Seriously, who the fuck brought a fifth of apple caramel vodka to my house?

It's all these weird stages of grief and everyone is in various phases. Then add in the kid(s) or spouse or being totally alone, all scenarios come with challenges. Too much in our head or no way to get out. I've snapped at my daughter a few times for no good reason, just have to use it as an opportunity to apologize and try again.

I bitch about Boulder a lot but I am grateful to be where I am on the south end. I'm semi optimistic about real estate but my wheelhouse isn't turning right now.

And fuck, I didn't get the SBA or PPP in the first round so trying again. Way too much "what ifs" and uncertainty, it's stressful.

Someone with a sense of humor.

yep. and those guilty feelings just add to the overall struggle. it's a vicious circle: feel shitty, feel guilty for feeling shitty when other people have it worse, feel even shittier, repeat.

Get out of my head!

There's a lot perspectives changing. Pre-Covid, the highlight of our month might have been destination bike trip or a flight to the "big city" for a show or a game. Now it's sitting at a buddy's house in the front yard 15' feet away in lawn chairs drinking a couple beers. And the guilt...we're able to afford the beers and the mortgage of the front yard we're sitting in.

I've been on the phone a lot talking to employers about PPP, unemployment, insurance etc. The common theme is the unknown. When does the market come back? What about retirement? How do I keep my employees? Then the conversation trickles down to the employees' fears and how to help there. What if they don't have enough money for rent/mortgage? What if they or a family member gets sick? What do they do with their kids? What if we have to lay off or furlough? Can the employees and their families get by? Is unemployment ever going to kick in?

There's a lot of stress and uncertainty. I'm finding it's okay to not feel okay right now. I don't think anybody is 100% these days.

Indeed.

Reading some of your guys posts, you may relate a Henry Rollins song from a long time ago when he sings (well, he screams it he can't sing):

"Paranoia, fear and guilt, I hope I don't explode"

Definitely a long time ago. Dang. Nailed it.

I'm committed to doing at least one productive thing a day. Sometimes it's all day in the yard, sometimes it's change the sheets. Most days I succeed at some level.

Been smoking a lot of weed, planting a lot of seeds, and pulling a lot of weeds. Have a good supply of weed and seeds, the weeds to pull are getting fewer and fewer.

Is your shop still open?

Are you planting any weed seeds??

[klauss]

Been doing the little house on the prairie thing. Planted a bunch of seeds, etc. hung the washed bath mats out to dry in the sun and a bird shit all over them. Shaking my fist.

Discovered the bird attack after coming back from a run which ended with a fat lady in a PT cruiser honking at me because I was in the opposite lane of the road running and not on the sidewalk where there was a group walking 4 abreast.

[BobMc]

Yes, we’ve settled into a no human interaction thing, phone contact only. Reduced hours and a lot of down time.

Negatory on the weed seed combo. Weed smokage is only at home, never been a work and burn guy.

[Mazderati]

Good to hear at least some work is still coming in.

[fastfred]

I'll leave this here
so much commiseration but I try to look on the bright side
talking to my neighbor today, she was sloshed as usual, been like that for a month
talked with an ex the other day, starts drinking in the morning and goes from there been like that for two years
I have so much compassion and sorrow
I'm happy for my sobriety
Song is about the four year old

Woah.

[Mazderati]

Was CPG kind of in flux even before covfefe? Not that it is any consolation.

Sorry you have to do that to 50%. Are you the one to deliver the bad news?
