During lunch, I ran out to run a few errands.\u00a0 It was a beautiful fall afternoon, and cool enough to where it was appropriate to wear one of the numerous hoodies that I own because I like hoodies.\u00a0 I drove out of my neighborhood, admiring the beauty of fall leaves and colors everywhere, and the gratification in knowing that my own property no longer needed to be raked anymore, due to my hard work.<\/span><\/p>\n I parked my car, and popped the hatch and grabbed the garbage bag full of baby clothes that I was going to drop off at Goodwill.\u00a0 I was two steps walking towards the building when it hit me that I wasn\u2019t wearing my mask yet.\u00a0 Annoyed at the brain fart, I set the bag down and quickly retrieved my mask from the driver\u2019s seat console and put it on.<\/span><\/p>\n Eight months into the global pandemic, and here I am forgetting to put the mask that all people with a modicum of intelligence and\/or courtesy make mandatory of themselves.\u00a0 It\u2019s like, the day felt so pleasantly ordinary for 30 seconds that I forgot that we\u2019re still in the middle of the aforementioned global pandemic, and the dreadful reality that there\u2019s literally still no end in sight.<\/span><\/p>\n Scary how the world can look and feel so ordinary, so back-to-how-life-used-to-be, but still be the arena where an easily-preventable but still devastating disease is always wafting around all over the place, indiscriminately waiting on some idiot with no sense or too much freedom to latch themselves onto, and keep the cycle of spreading alive for yet another victim.<\/span><\/p>\n Such a reality check was enough to reel me back from feeling pleased with the weather to feeling the need to be weary about the people around who may or may not be as CDC-compliant as I try to be with myself, and that the world is still a scary fucking place.\u00a0 It\u2019s scary just how easy it is to forget it sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During lunch, I ran out to run a few errands.\u00a0 It was a beautiful fall afternoon, and cool enough to where it was appropriate to wear one of the numerous hoodies that I own because I like hoodies.\u00a0 I drove out of my neighborhood, admiring the beauty of fall leaves and colors everywhere, and the … Continue reading How easy it can be to forget<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[176,194,45],"class_list":["post-47430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-murica","tag-coronavirus","tag-fail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47430"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47433,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47430\/revisions\/47433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
