Weird Dreams

 

Dreams are so strange during a pandemic.  One of my recents was that I was at a party when I suddenly panicked, realizing no one was socially distanced or wearing a mask.  I was told to relax and maybe go get a drink or a bite to eat.  That is exactly what it feels like in real life right now.  As Wisconsin falls into the hotspot of the world, our president (who just tested positive last week), has told us not to be afraid, that we need to live our lives.  Furthermore, on Wednesdays, I have tried to find places to take Lotta and Zibbi to run them around.  We tried going to a small family farm last Wednesday.  We arrived and there were more cars than I expected in the lot.  I was little taken aback.  We were there mid morning on a Wednesday.  Several large groups of people were mingling.  Maskless.  Wisconsin just set up a field hospital, because our hospitals are filled (!) and people are gathering in large groups with masks (which we absolutely know aids in the spread).  The girls and I walked around for a few minutes to see the animals, with our masks on.  Blah.  It makes me feel like I'm at that party, the kitchen is on fire and everyone is recommending just ignoring it in favor of the celebration.
