Jenna used to return home from school by 3:15. That seems eons ago as she often doesn’t get picked up from high school until 3:15 or later. There has always been a shortage of drivers – but especially this year. The few bus drivers are given multiple routes now. Short staffed employment is common all across the nation. Diners and other companies go out of business. Contractors are behind on their jobs as truck drivers are behind on delivering products that so often seem to not even exist anymore.
Hospitals will never go out of
business but they are short staffed also.
Schools are hurting for instructors.
It makes me wonder where our economy has gone. It isn’t solely COVID that’s
to blame. I am so grateful for those
that have sustained a positive attitude among so much negativity. I am grateful to those who have endured in
being there for others. I suspect the paycheck does not have near the value as
the individual that said check is made out to.
What a challenging time we live in right now.
I am grateful to those things that are
available to us right now. It makes me
wonder for how long.
