The Unfinished Business

 There are too many things to do at home. Housework, lots of housework. I have to do the laundry everyday so that it wont pile up. I cook everyday and planning of what to cook, the preparation of the meal is not a laughing matter. Everything is from scratch, meaning using fresh ingredients from garlic to onions, tomatoes, veggies, except for meat (beef, pork, chicken, fish) that are frozen and have to thaw the meat first. You probably watch how those cooks and chefs cooked the meals on TV shows and how they prefer the ingredients for cooking then that's how it is being done at my own home. Not only that, have to clean the kitchen after the cooking task, there is dishwasher for the dirty plates, drinking glasses, cups and forks and spoons but the cooking utensils, pots and pans are washed and cleaned by hands. The housecleaning is a daily chore too. Everyday. All the works of the MOTHER. 

It would be nice if there is a closer restaurant nearby and just buy  cooked, ready to eat food and stop all the hassles. That's what some people are doing as if they have busy life. I have a very busy life too. Obviously.

I wonder if they really are busy during the pandemic when too many workers are out of work. Unemployment is at staggering so high level that if the Ministry of Employment wont do anything then what do you think will happen? 

So, I watched this movie of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, it was "A Quiet Place." A sci-fi, horror movie. The family lives in the farm and they struggle for survival when monsters roamed the earth. They cannot make noises because the monsters have sensitive hearing that only slight movement, any kind of noise can trigger a sense of panic and the monsters have to devour and consume anybody that produces such sound. The good thing is the monster is blind. I know that's weird. In the end, another kind of sound could kill the monsters, however how many monsters they have to kill? That's why there's a sequel to the horrors of this movie story. I haven't watch the sequel or part 2 of  "A Quiet Place" yet.

Let say, the monsters are the "pandemic of today" what will you do? Are you to cower in fear and cover yourself, run away, hide and be a coward? Who will supply the food when the agricultural sectors are surrounded by monsters? Who will cultivate the land? Who will plant the crops? When all the basic necessities are derived from agriculture or farm lands? Including the  medicines, pertaining to potatoes...what can you get from potato crops? You can ferment potatoes into wine, alcohol, gas (fuel), it is the source of carbohydrates (flour), chips, fries, staple food, it is the source of energy that can power rockets and missiles. It's hard to believe that eh? How can, or how could that happen? Just watch THE MARTIAN movie starring Matt Damon. Can you do that with rice? Rice is a staple food too. You can have it as staple food for its carbohydrate nutrient, flour, wine, vinegar, fuel (? not really for fuel). Animals for meat and poultry mostly from farms. If nobody attends to the farm and cultivate the land, there will be no supply of food and medicines. All the works are based mostly through the source of basic necessities and human consumption. Anybody stopping the source of food supply and medicines for humanity are called evil monsters and what the hell they are created for in the first place?

The land, water and air > the crucial environment that we all should protect from invaders. 

Do you know what's next?
