Coronavirus Log – Day 10: Still Inside
My situation:
We’re hunkered down over here and enduring the storm. I am going a bit stir-crazy. Something about being around people and the energy they bring makes me feel good. Living in NYC in the early 2000’s, I remember walking the streets of the East Village and feeling incredibly energized. I loved it. Here in Marin, I loved (past tense, ugh) taking my kids to dropoff and being among all the kids and parents (especially MillValleyStud). It was hectic but fun to catch up with other parents and see the other kids talking and playing. I miss it. They probably can’t verbalize it but I think my kids miss it too. This will be a challenging period.
In other news, the government passed a $2 TRILLION dollar stimulus deal last night. We all will receive a one-time direct deposit of up to $1,200, and couples will get $2,400. The payments will be phased out based on income levels, before ending for those earning more than $99,000 annually. Families receive an additional $500 per child. That’s a lot of cash but people need it.
On a related note, I called Wells Fargo yesterday and got a reprieve from paying my mortgage for 3 months, so that’s nice.
