I'm a registration clerk at an
elementary school.
I'm about the ONLY one in the
front office wearing a mask. Not
irying to start anything political
Since December, the clinic
worker has been out sick at least
av week at a time in January and
February.
We get bus calls ahead to the
school from bus dispatch in the
morning asking for a code
green" cleanup coming in.
Isee kids getting off the bus
with vomit all over them.
We are a right-to-work/at will
state and what many parents do,
because you can be fired for any
reason, contract or not, they
send the sick child to school.
Then we call them at their job to
come get thelr child. This Is
because their boss is more likely
to believe them when they get
call from the school saying that
their kid is sick.
The problem with that is they'll
still send them the next day stil
w fevers and sick. And then they
dont answer the phone when we
catt.
Now, the child is langulshing in
the clinic all day.
We've had 4 chicken pox
outbreaks since November.
Idon't even eat from the teacher
salad bar. Haven't since COVID
unless it was a baked potato. I
bring all my own prepared food
from breakfast, to snacks, to
lunch.

"m preparing shelf stable items
(beans,pop top canned fruit)
but rve been reading up or
potted veggies (tomatoes)
simple things I can blanche and
seal in mason jars.
I got real tired of people telling
me that I don't have any faith.
It's because of my faith that I'm
looking to the ant, considering
her ways and being wise
How without an overseer, makes
provision in the summer and
gathers food in harvest." (Prov
6:6-8)
This doesn't just apply to food. It
applies to finances (it's a litle
sad how many people can't say if
they needed a good set of tires,
they couldn't afford it.I'm still
building up my emergency
funds, but at least Ihave
something), keeping items in
good repair (I still use the ONE
stitch my mom taught me whenI
was five donning my tights for
those NY winters. I'm 54 and
have hand sewn curtains
camping gear, made tarp bags,
etc),
LEARNING how to do things as
simple as changing a tire,
because AAA is basically non
existent on a Friday night
especially when you're stuck in
the rain somewhere!
