Happy weekend to all. Personally, I am glad it is Saturday and looking forward to a relaxing weekend here at home. I have some chores to get done and will try and do those and hang out. I have slacked off on posting so will try and do that more here. I am committed to journaling and will endeavor to do that.
I admit that I am not watching the news that much - I feel like our government is in more competent hands so I don't need to obsessively watch this Administration. Maybe that is wrong and maybe I should always watch things but I feel like I can relax on that. I do more weekly viewing than daily viewing and keep up that way. With Trump it was a daily nightmare and with Biden it does not feel like that. I am sure for the Trumpers it feels awful - judging from their frantic comments on the White House FB page - they are not happy. I am feeling better about things. Sure Biden is going to misstep but I think in general things are better.
I am concerned that they are not going to pass the $15.00 minimum wage in the current aid bill. I am not sure why they are having such a problem with that. The current Federal minimum wage is at $7.25 an hour which is not enough for anyone to live on anywhere in the country. $15.00 an hour is barely enough for anyone to live on. I don't think that is really enough but it is a better number than they have now. We need to do this and they are having trouble with it. Seems indecent. Raise the wage! Let's get this done. I think if they don't put this in the bill - they will have to do it some other way. So hopefully they will get it done somehow. I just cannot believe anyone has a problem with paying a fair wage. Unbelievable.
Work is going on. I am a little tired of working from home but think I will be doing that for a while. It gets lonely. I think I will be here through the summer for now. Ho hum. I am glad I could do this and keep my job during the pandemic. I feel lucky that way. So there is that.
Anyways - hope you are doing well where you are and staying healthy. I have the second dose of the vaccine on March 13. I am going to do some prep for that so I am ready for side effects. Not sure I will get them but will be ready if I do.
That is all I have. Stay healthy there and peace to you!
