We are headed into a third year of Covid. I wore a mask, stayed home, ordered groceries in, had no social life, became a home school teacher against my will, didn’t get my roots done or get anything waxed ( guess which I thought was the most difficult sacrifice). I worked with and for people that weren’t careful. I had friends that got sick. Some died.
Covid has gone through the two offices I’ve worked at. The first time, the covid positive owners thought they could pop in after hours and touch every-lovin-damn-thing, coughing and mouth breathing everywhere. They even seemed shocked when their whole family got sick as well as a lot of staff. This new office was great, followed protocol and did the right thing, closing the office when more staff was out sick than at work.

i know people are tired of mandates. rules, masks and Karens. Personally i don’t believe in paranoia. i believe in precaution and common sense. I also believe in manners, dammit. I have followed clients out the door after they have shamed a medically compromised person for wearing a mask and drew a map to Walhalla SC with their feelings for being mean. Opinions are allowed, differences are what make the world go round. But if I see you picking on a a physically frail elderly lady, you better be ready to apologize. Do your thing, stay in your lane, if someone sneezes say “Bless you” and MOVE ON. There is so much meanness and ugly out in the world, why you wanna add to it? I think we should always act like our Mamas and grandmas can see us. ( I try and usually do but people like to try a bitch sometimes)

Try telling people ” Hey there! ” or ” Good morning!” Smile wide and mean it. Before long it will be a habit and will be genuine. Do something nice just for the sake of it. Please remember people everywhere are struggling and your kindness could make or break them. And for God’s sake, you never know who may be menopausal ( aka homicidal as hell) You can’t always tell by looking at us, so just be safe y’all….wash your hands, don’t go anywhere if you’re sick. Love each other and when people make you feel stabby, just act like Nanny and them can see you, and kill em with kindness.

yall be sweet….
