By Katherine Schneider, for the Chippewa Valley Post
Editor’s note: We welcome a new feature to the CVPost with this first “Dispatch” by Kathie Schneider. You will find three columns a week in this space, and we hope that reading them will provide an enjoyable change from the unending wave of COVID-19 news stories.
A wise Jesuit priest responded to my email saying “Be sure you don’t miss the good stuff” in these days of COVID-19. These dispatches will focus on the good stuff and what I as a 70-year-old blind person living in Eau Claire can do to help my community in this Time of Corona. Please email me story ideas and your thoughts at schneiks@uwec.edu
Here’s some good stuff I’ve gleaned recently from Facebook:
Parent comments after one day of home schooling: “Can I transfer this student out of my class?” and “Maybe the teacher wasn’t all wrong about my child’s behavior.”
Comment on handwashing: “I’ve washed my hands so many times I’m seeing the notes I wrote on them for that history test in 1995.”
“I can face self-quarantine. I have wine.”
“Now that we have people washing hands correctly, next let’s work on turn signaling when driving.”
Pro tip for couples working from home together…get yourself an imaginary co-worker….someone you can blame things on. We have Cheryl, who keeps leaving her dirty dishes all over the place. We don’t know what we are going to do about her.
NOTE: Comments and ideas can be emailed to schneiks@uwec.edu.
