Greetings friends! It’s been a long time; we’ve been out of work since the middle of March. This situation has been a hardship as well as a blessing. Susan and I have gotten a taste of what retirement might be like as we have been traveling a lot in our Motorhome and visiting great places this country has to offer. We recently returned from Gettysburg. We even took a picture with Abe Lincoln, of course that is after I placed a mask on him too!
It would be good to have help when I am able to return to completing projects but I have not been successful in finding that help. When I return, it will have to be for small projects that don’t require some of the physical exertions that a helper would perform. Unless there is a second wave, I am expecting this governor to remove the mask requirements on businesses like mine right after the election. You see, even if you and I both agree for us to not wear masks, businesses are mandated to wear masks when visiting peoples homes.
I cannot wear a mask for long periods with my underlying conditions. For those that do not know, among other things, I have had, since birth, a paralyzed, left diaphragm that is necessary for my lung to operate at full capacity. It is stuck in the up position and therefore does not allow for that lung to fully inflate. So, normally, I am a bit short of oxygen. When I add a mask and I’m that much more short of my daily need.
Unless the governor does not remove the masks mandate on businesses, I plan to start the completion of already started projects shortly after Thanksgiving. After that, probably in December, I will begin setting appointments with those who requested to be on the list to contact for new projects. Albeit, those new projects will have to be small jobs that don’t require a second person and some other limitations. I’ll have to evaluate each project as I look at them. There are even some existing projects that I will not be able to return to until I find a helper due to these same physical limitations.
God bless you all, God bless the USA!
