Still Remaining Diary: Entry 001
It’s just me and Lago now.
Not sure how much longer this site will remain functioning.

excuse me?

we are in a slow-burn SHTF now. the strings that tie society together are getting weaker.

prediction- at best, we have til 2024-2025. by then, it will b obvious to the public. death rates for covid infected and vaxed will b too high. loss of workers becomes critical, especially for trained skilled positions such as electrical grid operators and medical staff. wharehouses of supplies of food, energy<oil/coal>, raw materials, tools and equipment, and parts for repairs will b used up.

govern knows this and their kick the can down the road, cover ups, and "all hands on deck" policies are working to buy time while they search for a solution. covid is ahead so far that time is speeding up toward the collapse.

do u not hear the warnings and govern's working to keep ppl calm? food scarcity. but nobody is dying-even as baby formula ran out. "govern has it under control". power grid disruptions-blamed on a war. is it? or is this cover for lack of workers and part failures? lack of oil outputs from OPEC. lack of fertilizer- is this not lack of raw materials to make it? water issues- doesn't that need to b treated before ppl drink it? more materials missing? even if farmers grow the food, it needs to b packaged to haul it and sell it. even crime rates up.

are they not things u'd expect in a SHTF? if they become "normal" won't this delay society breaking down? changes at the CDC and other world leaders- is this not a CYA move? conveniently they have someone to blame.

we are speeding up toward the downfall. life as we knew it is gone. the public will realize this soon. it doesn't turn dark at midnight, it starts getting darker much earlier than that. "at best 2024-25", doesn't man we have til then. that was as things were, however the situation is fluid and continues to get worse. MP will push society closer to the bottom. mutations continue. covid reinfects time and again, each time taking more years off ppl's lives.

the next outbreak to go global is due by Halloween. most likely, it will b deadlier than the MP has been. the govern's have thrown out the tool that worked to slow covid. the lock down folder has been shredded, at least the old way of locking down. oh, what plans the govern is making? u won't like it at all.

Looks like our mini wave is over. School back in did not coincide with a surge. Numbers have gone down every week since then.

Yay TB things are looking up for y'all buying a house.

I hope! They came back with a counter offer and we accepted it late last night. We should hear this afternoon.

We found out we actually know someone that lives a couple of blocks away, too!

I'm screaming inside my head, guys. We had to jump through hoops to get the paperwork done last Friday and they were supposed to sign off yesterday afternoon. One of the sellers STILL hasn't signed! Supposedly, they don't have email. Who doesn't have email!?! If they have a phone, they have email!

There was another showing, again supposedly, after ours on Friday. What do y'all think? Are they waiting for a better bid? Or, do they really NOT have an email?

Trying to not drive myself crazy, after keeping Mr. TB calm yesterday, but having a hard time today.

Am I being paranoid?

On our side, we bid the asking price and are paying most of the closing costs plus a structural inspection (required by state law).

sounds like a pit to get more $$ from u to their "friends", while they hold out for a higher offer. sux if u are paying inspections or have $$ tied up while u wait. otherwise, i'd keep my eyes oen case u find something else.

however, there are ppl who don't list emails. i seldom use mine. i don't give it to businesses or govern ppl. cuts out spam. course, i don't use a call phone either. never txted. but i am not running a business.

It's possible we haven't heard yet because our agent had an event to go to today. I'd forgotten about it until a bit ago.

It doesn't help that I'm having a "rough" day today because of the weather coming in tonight. I find I get bitchy when that happens and try to stay away from everyone.

I've quit screaming! Promise. I'm taking out frustrations while grinding leftover turkey that I had in the freezer for sandwiches. There's more in that bag than I thought! LOL Yikes!
