Let me tell you
Never have I seen
Such a mess in my life.
The air is pure and beautiful
But wearing a mask
Is compulsory and binding.
Roads are empty and deserted
But it is so impossible
To go on a long drive.
People have clean hands
But there is a ban
On hugging and shaking hands.
Friends have time to sit together
But they cannot get together
Have to stay isolated in their houses.
The cook inside you is crazy
But you cannot one-bit invite
Any of your friends to lunch or dinner.
Every Monday
The heart longs to go out
But the weekend does not seem to end.
Those who have a lot of money
Have no way to spend it at all
They are all locked up in their four walls.
The culprit is all around
But cannot be seen
A world full of irony!
Be positive, please test negative…………..
So true Kamal. Loved the last line ππ»β€οΈπ

That pretty much describes it!! Our only saving grace is that our daughter, husband and two grandchildren here in LA and my wife and I have formed the bubble between our households. Allows us to spend great time with our grandchildren. Also we quarantine and get tested after trips such as the last two trips up to the Pacific Northwest to be with our daughters up there.

For some time things were going here and there. I got in contact with virus affected person, so was really scared. Here government officials come to the house of infected people and if they don’t have complete isolated space, they take them to the hospital. They even click the pictures of whole house. Thankfully, I was all fine for 15 days but was very tensed. Thankfully, everything is over.
I feel really sorry for your husband. Just now he has such a major surgery and once again… Sometimes kidney stones are treated through medicines only. I really hope this works for him.
