Social Distancing

 

         There are Circles at stores, indicating where to stand, before reaching the Register. It troubled me terribly, to a point of  road rage proportions that a Medium to elderly Lady would Refuse to advance to the next Circle. Thinking,  what would my father do in this Situation. Should I creep up on  her with in an inch, look over her shoulder and utilize the fake Cough, it is Corona time after all. I gingerly Advanced slowly towards her circle, and was shaking Davening style with the hopes She'd advance. Only to be Rescued by another Draw Opening and the Magical words  "Next in Line" were called out.... Needing to clear my Storage, I offered $65 for the Maximum two hour Job, of going back and forth 3 Times Respectfully Declining the Young man Said, He wouldn't leave his house for less than $100. Annoyed at the Smugness' and Hubris, I was Rescued by a call, With a Friend with van of whom Wished to do me the " Favor ". It's presumed that this Favor will be quite Costly as he backed into the Gate Switch of the Storage Rendering it "out of Service". We all know the Moral of the Story.....  

SNOW ?

 

       The only Thing, I detest more than the Snow is How much People Say They Love the Snow. Getting Plowed in Sucks, But Getting Plowed in Twice Sucks Even more, took a combined 74 minutes to Shovel my self out..." Why didn't you park on the Left Side of the Street"? Living in NYC, Piss Off.......Mea Culpa, I was quite Profane to a Mini Driving Heimeshe Debutante, While waiting for her Machine to repaired, She was Blocking the drive way, and the only Suitable exit out of my spot. I Motioned for her to please move, with out a response, She DID see me, not wanting to exacerbate the situation, I tried to Drive my car through one of favorite things in life, the snow. After more shoveling, and some Help from IBH who raced over to take the wheel, and some Amazing grace, we made it out. Selfishly, I wanted to disturb this poor young Lady from either being deep in prayer or Reciting Psalms.......Allah Hu Akbar G0d is Great.............

     ..... 

and you're S#&It

 

 Doesn't Stink, That is literally what happens after getting corona......One Month later and i Still have "Gas immunity" at home.... Do You count your Cash, after withdrawing money from the ATM?....Wheel of Fortune aires one hour earlier in Florida than New York. My betrothed was Astounded  to see that I was solving all the puzzles at an alarming rate, An Avid and excellent Wheel of Fortuner, She Generally out solves me by a 98-2 rate, like Heshy Katz always Says Even a broken clock is right Twice a day. I Equated it to having a 50 average and suddenly pulling 100's. Riddled with guilt, I had to confess To my  Betrothed That Rena Was the leak, Feeding me the puzzle Answers from Florida..... 

Cheers,

 

     Historical Documentaries, Sleep, and Anxiety highlighted the rest of the Week. Very Fortunate to be spoiled by my parents, Not so fortunate to sleep on a soft uneven Sofa Bed, But Rena's Grilled Cheese, Despite having Several Missing cheese spots  has been the Jerome Moiso of the Quarantine..... With all the Uncertainty, The Paranoia and Superstition  Still Persists, Am I safe to go outside? Am i contagious? Do I pose a risk to others?  I dare not Mimic the Virus, and am even more insistent that Trump got routed in this election for Belittling Corona and it's Effects primarily the psychological ones of having to be Seperated from Society for a period of Ten Days or more. Despite the claims That "it's Over" I will continue to be a Sheep and Dawn the Mask and Be as cautious as ever before....... 

First day in

   the Woods....... 12.28.2020  Not Showing any Major Symptoms, Besides Lethargy, aches and major anxiety. My Main concern was for my Wife and kid, and Wait to see  if More Symptoms start kicking in. . Settling into the Spare Bedroom of my Parents Domicile, Staring at the ceiling and Presuming the worse at every cough, Short breath or Ache, It gave me some comfort that my appetite subsided and that i can smell the methane Gas I was providing. The Cocktail Prescribed was Zithromax 500 mg, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C , Tylenol and Patience.  The news Spread Pretty Quickly and I must say it was heartwarming to get Texts and calls, Though one  Friend of Yemeni Descent, Was Quick to " Congratulate" me on sounding really Well and all But Proclaimed me "Healed", SuperStitious and Paranoid, I told him i had to go, and went on to Binge on the " Last Dance" documentary before calling it a night........ 

 

The Corona

 Timeline....... A colleague of whom i work in Very close proximity, delegated a text to me at 3:36 friday afternoon that he is not feeling well and has done a corona test. Indifferently alarmed, I began going over Strategy with my wife trying to cover all scenarios.  5:19 Saturday night I get the Text "Positive".  5:23 I convey the News to another colleague who works in the West wing of the 450 Square Office to let him know the status of his Fourth Brother.  Progressively Alarmed, Despite  Not displaying any Symptoms, I scrambled to Schedule a test 9:30 Sunday Morning, Followed by a rapid Test at 11:30 and yet another Test right after that at the Same Location.  Heading off to work I inform an associate picking up boxes of the situation and make sure he does NOT come in the office as i will leave the cases outside for him. Twenty Two Minutes after taking the rapid Test, The Doctor's office calls me that, I was Negative. My caution Dropped to Moderate as I headed home. Around 6:44 Sunday night I began feeling some Chills, And aches. My greatest Fears are going through my mind. Taking Two Tylenol Pm I Struggle to Fall Asleep, As I wait for the Benadryl to kick in. Waking up at 6:43 Monday morning, I still feeling achy and Take Tylenol, Where after about 30 Minutes I feel Well enough to Shower and Pray, I Isolate Myself from my Wife and kid and Anxiously Wait. There are Still no contingent plans as to What we will do, but the Call comes in at 9:57, Positive, at 10:00 Inform the "4th Brothers" Brother. We  Discussed the possible scenarios as to where it could have happened but I was glad he finally agreed with me " That My Body, my Choice" is not really a fair way to assess Ones Refusal to wear a mask. Having to cancel the Nanny, and without anyone besides my wife to watch the kid, I Strapped the N95 Powerful mask rolled down the windows and drove them to Brooklyn to get Tested. After Dropping them off, I Headed back to Isolation in a Private Room in my parents apartment in Brooklyn..... 

Put your

  Hand in the hand of the man, Since the Crisis began I have Shaken only TWO peoples hands. The First was the Great Sidney Arthur Rosenberg of the Sid and Bernie show at the "Corona virus hates the jews Rally" where I mentioned I was a big fan and Was sorry he never got to meet Lee Mazzili, He Said he had to go and Extended his Hand out. The Second was a Delivery guy from the Rolling Hills of Tennessee, After unloading Freight by me on an Early Rainy morning Sometime in October.  Instantly, After both Encounters, I immediately reached for the Purell, and Hoped..... Tip Season is Upon us, and I always agreed it was a nice gesture, But completely unnecessary. Why Should Someone Be Given Extra Cheese for doing Their Job? Unlike a Server, Or Livery Driver it's not something that is incorporated in their Salary. The Damage this Year will be be $1850 Personal and roughly $425 Business of which some can be counted as Hush Money.....The Humane Mouse Trap Count is Five over the past Three Days, That Includes Two in One Trap This morning. Just like released Terrorists I make them Sign a waiver Never to return, and release at the End of the Block to head out South towards Kings Highway........
