I had a coughing fit in Trader Joe's the other day - I was petrified I would be thrown out bodily. I tried to hide in the vitamin and health products aisle. I suppressed my cough and prayed that my mask was muffling the sound. Better to sound like I am choking than - gasp - coughing!
This morning I awoke to the same grey hazy sky. I opened my front door and smelled smoke. I closed my front door and went to open the back door hoping the other side of the house may be different! Nope, of course not - wishful thinking. Smokey air, smokey air, smokey air. The same awful news on the radio. The same terribly depressing headlines only today made far worse by the travesty of Nancy Pelosi getting her hair shampooed and blow dried while we cower indoors. Nothing new.
There and then I decided to look at the bright side of life. For this reason I have entitled this entry "Apologies to Monty Python."
I remember Brian nailed to the crucifix singing 'Here's looking on the bright side of life ."
I too, am now looking on the bright side. "I do not have covid 19 - my sense of smell is fine. What unbridled joy."

Oh Nesta! This is all too familiar... the fear of coughing in public, the dirty looks are so unnerving. Same goes for if you forget for 2 seconds your mask.
Cheers to unbridled joys from the bright side of life. XOXO
