Wake Up People!!!

Wake Up People!!!

 

This morning when I stopped at the station for gas, there was a young man complaining about the rain. While I was grateful for the rain, he wasn´t, which is ok. However, it made me wonder whether or not this young man was aware of the times we are living and how important the rain is. We are going through a dry spell and 60% of the country is burning. Criminal wildfires have been ignited and due to the drought in some areas, literally the country is burning up and this huge metropolis is suffering from the ashes that are polluting our air.

Perhaps looking outside the box, we can see that while our country is in flames, the rest of the world is also fighting against some natural disaster.

In Europe, it isn´t even fall yet and there are some places where it is snowing. While in other areas there are floods.   In Taiwan, a powerful Typhoon. Earthquakes in Japan. In Brazil, high temperatures during the winter. (I will not list all of them for I am getting blue…)

Wake up people! Earth is sick and it is getting rid of its biggest disease – us humans!

What kind of future will our children have. Let´s take care of the planet it has given us so much beauty, water, fresh air. Mother Nature is tired. It pains me to see so much devastation. There is still time to reverse this situation. Or is there?

IT GOT ME

 

Feeling fine, just a sore throat coming on. Wednesday afternoon. Day off on Thursday, woke up feeling strange. Lightheaded. Tipsy, perhaps. Still met up with a friend for coffee. Got home, showered, had a bit then hit the sack. Woke up at 1am and couldn´t fall back asleep. Alarm went off. Sent a message and lesson plan. Not fit to go into work. Needed to sleep. No voice whatsoever.

Next day, still no voice; head pounding as if a whole percussion band was rehearsing in my head; runny nose; congested sinus. No fever. No intestinal issues. Took a covid test. POSITIVE. Two dark lines. Since 2020, never had there been two lines. This was the first time I had caught it, better yet, it caught me.

Back to wearing a mask. Isolation. Incase of fever or lack of breath – ER. Drink lots of water.

How could this have happened? Felt like a complete failure. First semester dengue and now, second semester COVID. Until now I had managed to avoid getting it or it getting me.

These days people think that covid it something of the past. Therefore, they do not get tested any longer and think it is just a simple cold. It is still out there and it will be part of our list of diseases we need to watch out for.

OH BROTHER!!!!
