Do You Worry About The Coronavirus?

Sixty Two and still working everyday I wonder just how susceptible I am to getting the virus. I work from home a lot but find myself going into work two, three and sometimes four times a week. I have stopped for gas, to pick up lunch for the family and at times a trip to Wal-Mart. There are not that many cases in our county. But there are some. I am for the most part pretty healthy and my wife and I walk often.

I am more worried about the economy than picking up the virus. I feel that at some point we are all going to get it anyway. Yeah there are a lot of boomers out there that would be hit pretty hard but there are also a lot of others that have problems that would make it hard on them. The problem is though that its already out there and there is no putting the genie back in that bottle.

Our only hope to keep the death rate down is how soon can they come up with a cure? A vaccine would help but as with the flu, its a toss up as to whether it will be effective or not. Some are saying that if you have had it you would be immune to getting it again. Then there are those that have come down with it a second time. There is so much about it that we are still finding out.

The one thing we do know is that we can’t keep paying people to stay home.

62 And Still Working

I was going to retire at 62 but then things changed. In November the owners of the company asked me to step into their office. They asked me to stay on as the IT Manager. I told them I would be willing to do that but I was tired of coming in every day and I would only be interested in continuing if I could work from home for the most part. I would come in only when needed or called on. So far I have had to go in most days with only a few days that I have been able to work from home. But I feel that will transition to more days at home as things settle down.

Christmas Is Almost Here

Walked 1.7 miles this afternoon. Its about 66 degrees and clear blue sky’s. Stopped and talked to Shirley Crosby while walking. Back to working on the new router for the network.

Morning Walk

My wife and I on our morning walk 2.1 miles this morning. I will be doing this a lot more in a few months.

New Dentures

Come Sept. 23rd I will be getting the rest of my lower teeth removed and some implants installed. I will have to wait for around three months to have the dentures put in. This is to give the implants time to grow into the jawbone. So far its worked out well with my uppers that I have. What I am not looking forward to is the three months of not being able to chew. In the long run though it will work out better than replacing one tooth at a time. They say it will help reduce bone lose in the jaw.

My Garden

Started my garden again this year. I had to put up a fence to keep the deer and rabbits out but with that done its up and growing.
