The New Norm…

Person wearing a face mask holding hand to forehead looking exhausted.
A shopping cart and a sign stuck on the floor that reads "Thank you for practicing social distancing. Please keep six feet from the customer in front of you."

The new normal is exhausting. The stress of leaving ones own house now is quite a chore. Make sure you wear your mask because it may help either you from getting the virus or you from spreading it. Wash your hands (did that anyway) but wash them till your skin rubs off then put on hand sanitizer and feel the burn of clean. Make sure you wear gloves and don’t touch anything especially your face that now itches from the face mask that your not used to wearing. You now touched stuff so it is time to change your gloves again or wash them or sanitize them. My face is sweaty, my hands are sweaty, and I have only been at work an hour now. I am already getting a headache from the elastic straps tugging at the back of my ears. I’m sorry to everyone who is going crazy stuck at home unable to leave their homes but you don’t know how good you have it. The stress and anxiety of an 8+ hour workday right now is mentally and physically exhausting. No one talks, no one smiles (and if they are you can’t see it), no more laughs…..everyone at work is isolated together and more lonely then you can imagine.
