We're self-employed and filed our income tax. We'll send it out on time too.

We filed on-line for unemployment. Congress passed the compromise bill that gives some relief for gig workers.

The system is overloaded and crashed a lot. Between Leilani and myself, we must have spent 20 hours on it. The system crashes, you have to start all over, and the delay between page loads can be as much as 3 minutes.

To be fair, there is no way the government could have prepared for a zillion people needing help at the same time.

Whatever we get will be welcome.

This too will pass and when COVID is under control, we'll have to work out a new normal.

I plan on playing for free at the restaurant that has hired us once a week for 12 years until the business picks back up. They've been good to us, and it'll be time to help them get back on their feet.

When I can, I also plan to spend as much money as I can afford at local mom-and-pop type businesses.

It just seems the right thing to do.
