Even though ive had to ignore a frw people along the way I feel ive met some good friends here. Thank you @STACEYH, @Molpet, @Hayden Goseek , @Sammster, @casportpony, @BigBlueHen53 . If I'm forgetting anyone I do apologize. You guys have all been a great support to me and I care for you. Anxiety has been a big problem since covid came into our lives and despite what some people have said I'm proof of it. Thank you all for being so supportive. I will continue to post the daily covid news as I see it and keep you updated on my health. I just thought it was worth mentioning how awesome you people are and are truely representative on BYC spirit!

Update.......
I went to Dollar General I was able to get food. The employees weren't friendly but I am very okay with that. I had to move a few holiday displays so I could fit through the aisle. All in all it went good. I just hope this will be the new normal.
Do to covid I found out today mailmen don't ring door bells. I received a letter postage do he slipped a sorry we missd you tag in the box and walked away. I know this do to cameras I have up. I went to the post office told them he didn't even try the door bell. I am hearing impaired if the door bell isn't rung I haven't a clue someone is outside. They replied " Do to covid we do not have to touch door bells we knock on doors (which he didn't do either)." I said you're touching the mail press the doorbell with my mail. I can not hear someone knocking on my door." She said "we don't have too."

Covid is beating me up on so many different levels.

Sounds like you have a good camera. Our mailbox suffered a hit and ran two nights ago. And it was full of mail.

Bad news if you're unvaxxed and work at Kroger. They are pulling their paid time off for unvaxxed Covid

I don't understand why companies were paying it to start with.

So they can keep good employees that have an illness or family member with one. Paid time off started long before Covid ( I know, right, was there a time before Covid? lmao.)

I understand why sick time/PTO...not the company covering the PTO for C19. They never covered it for flu or anything else.

I do have a great system Swanns Home Security. I live in town and mail box is on the porch (just under the door bell). If I watched it 24/7 I would know when they were here.
They double for watching my ladies on days I am not able to get outside much. Also preditor watching at night.

PTO is for individuals that need time off. It can be added to vaccation hours, personal leave and/ or illness. Covid is or should be covered under the illness part.

I get that. I don't get the company saying "oh, you got covid? We'll cover your time...you don't have to use your PTO/sick/vacation."

Hasn't effected me much other then I can't go into most places at the moment. I'll never submit to the corruption ever. If the system that is run by Satan is pushing U out of it trust in God and build a new system with others.
