Master and the Sub

Well they call it social distancing in the news nowadays but it's been around for quite some time. Some people because of economics suffer it because they can't afford to be say more social cost money to attend events or go to dinner, movie, shopping, ect. Then there are the mentally isolated, think fear of going out or fear of crowds, anxiety attacks keep them isolated from people. Then we have people like my mother she would never leave home if possible she just doesn't like to go out. Then you have me, I don't enjoy going out but once out I don't want to go home two side fighting between themselves. Over the past 10 years since I left work I just don't go out much, some reasons are little money to spend on outside entertainment, lack of friends that have time to go out with, health issues. Now since I met my beautiful lioness I have been out more than the past years and it's been great but I had to realize the other day I'm playing Russian roulette with every trip out into society. Let me explain, with my gunshot I lost my spleen, I knew from the doctor that I had a lower immune system than others. I was told that I would need a booster shot of some kind every 5 years, when I ask about it many years ago I was informed it was just a pneumonia shot so I didn't get one. Ever since covid 19 hit I didn't think much about it, Hazel was concerned but hell it was the flu. Now last night I did a little research on living without a spleen and how many things I was susceptible to, pneumonia, meningitis, influenza, you get the idea, well let's just say that going out to run errands took on a whole new level of being a little more cautious about social distancing because any of those things would almost certainly kill me. I am not afraid of dying but the thought of leaving my lioness behind, would hurt her worse than the things she has been through. I found my soulmate and don't want to lose her due to my thinking I'm invincible because I hardly get sick. So in times like these please know that you not alone, if you have a significant other, if you have parents, kids, friends, work friends, pen pals, hobby friends, strangers that you can talk with, hell talk to yourself I do and it makes Hazel laugh at my conversations. Be sociable with all this technology that us old folks didn't have, most will have no idea what it's like to write a letter, mail it and wait for a week or two for a reply. Be cautious for yourself but also for those at a higher risk, practice what they taught you when you were young wash your hands, most of all take time to value your life, because so many have already lost theirs and more are going to. From both of us to all of you Big Air Hug. 🦁😊
