My Child’s Fear
Anxiety, fear, worry…
The Corona Virus has changed life as we know it. No longer is it not a big deal to just pop into the local grocery store. Going to work and paying bills is no longer the ‘usual’.
As an adult, a wife, a mother, and an employee, the worry and stress of the virus is sky high. Not being able to just go to work and worry about what I’ll do for dinner is new. Now, the worry and fear are so much greater.
The last month has flown by. I haven’t left the property at all since I am one of those in the ‘high risk’ categories. My husband is so concerned about being a carrier since he works in the public that he is currently living out in the shed.
Our new normal is for me to do all the cooking and deliver his meals out to the carport. He now does any shopping we need. I am in charge of wiping down all the groceries with disinfectant and putting them away.
I never thought I’d long for the day that I could gladly go to the grocery store, but I have to admit that I miss it.
Now, the country is slowly getting ready to open back up.
The virus is still here.
My place of employment is beginning to open some locations throughout the nation, and it won’t be long before mine is opened as well.
