Hello everyone time for a little life update. My life has changed dramatically in the last month. As many of you know I opened a salon and September 2019 and as of March 17th I have been closed with no real knowledge of When I’ll get to be open again. I have had a hard time writing this because I care far too much. I am a single lady this is my only income. Earlier this month I had to do some remodeling that costed a lot of money and now not having an income is very. Difficult. I have cried a lot; I completely understand why the government has done this and I’m grateful that they care enough not to keep spreading the illness. But the compensation the government is giving only benefits people who’ve been working for over a year and their business. I found out today that I do not qualify for some of the government relief Which is terrifying. I don’t know how I’m going to support myself I don’t have a lot of money currently… I Feel hurt that I’m seeing so many people comment or make fun of the situation saying things like “remember who’s the essential business when the world comes to an end” “Kids pick your jobs based on who’s the essential”. I’m an essential Business but I’m also a luxury. I’m just in a business that can spread the illness from human to human contact easily. this doesn’t make me nonessential it just means I’m at a higher risk of spreading this disease. It’s probably the craziest thing to happen in my lifetime. I know it’s the craziest thing that’s happened in my parents’. I can tell you one thing the 1st week of me being laid off or quarantined was very difficult because the weather is nice I am physically well and there is literally no reason I can’t not work and I’ve struggled with the anxiety of feeling like I’m missing or forgetting something but in reality I can’t do anything about it. I was telling my dad that I feel like if we had a really bad snowstorm I would be more OK with the fact I can’t do anything or go anywhere because the shelter in place/ stay home act it’s kind of like being in a blizzard. When the weather reporters are representing the government and the blizzard warning is the quarantine. And the covid-19 is the snow. Weather reporters are saying to stay home because it will keep you safe from the snow. Plus, who wants to get stuck in the snow? Who wants to get covid-19? NO ONE! these are just very trying times and I don’t know what I’m going to do or where to go with it or how mentally stable I will be at the end of it but as of right now I don’t work till may 1st or more and the way the talk is the peak of COVID won’t happen for 45 more days which means I probably won’t-work until June or even July. I’m sorry if this was a bunch of rambles but I just have so many thoughts and they’re just so hard for me to put together. Everyone Please just be safe stay home and be well. Do a puzzle! I love puzzles!! if anybody want to send me a puzzle I will gladly take them. I prefer Disney with lots of pieces! We will get through this!
