welcome everyone Adam the whoo here as
0:04
of the recording of this video it is
0:07
Thursday March 26 2020 and at 11 p.m.
0:14
this evening as nightfall has completely
0:19
reared its head Osceola County which is
0:23
where I currently am still don't know
0:28
what I'm doing completely to get back to
0:31
where I reside in Southern California
0:33
Orange County the entire state is shut
0:38
down can I go outside except for
0:42
essentials to have brief moments of
0:45
exercise and for necessities and that is
0:49
happening here not a statewide mandate
0:53
like it is in other parts of the country
0:55
but it is slowly trickling towards that
1:00
so it seems
1:07
let me give you some info about what my
1:07
plans are I'm inviting you to join me as
1:11
I share with you shall you Osceola
1:14
County and others across the state have
1:17
put this in place and will be enforcing
1:19
this mandate for at least the next two
1:22
weeks
1:30
usually when I'm here in Central Florida
1:30
and I have something on my mind
1:33
something to share little my thought
1:38
processes are better explained usually
1:41
on the end of this walkway
1:45
however it's closed off with this yellow
1:52
tape and signage when it comes to
1:56
staying put
1:57
staying home relaxing just sitting on a
2:02
couch watching television shows or
2:05
movies that I'm not either researching
2:07
for future projects it kind of goes
2:12
against my thought process and my the
2:16
way the way my mind is made up the way
2:19
my gears turn is the complete opposite
2:24
flip-flop of that so this the next
2:28
coming weeks or maybe a little that's
2:32
coming week let's just say next coming
2:33
weeks are going to be a challenge for me
2:37
I have to be honest it's going to be a
2:39
little bit of a challenge for the way my
2:43
mind my mindset is I think I can do it
2:52
and I have contemplated a couple of
2:52
different avenues to go the conundrum is
2:59
that even though my family lives here in
3:03
Central Florida
3:16
so when the words stay home or become
3:16
part of the vernacular it's kind of a
3:19
gray area there with me because where do
3:23
I go how to how do I do a drive
3:26
cross-country by rental car and maybe
3:29
will not be able to get into California
3:32
that way or do I book a flight maybe
3:35
that will be canceled
3:36
maybe that will maybe that is a
3:39
possibility but all this is weighing
3:42
heavily on my mind and then I also think
3:44
about if I were to make it to the
3:46
Orlando International Airport before the
3:49
ordinance is in place at 11:00 p.m. this
3:52
evening if I went tomorrow would there
3:58
be an issue with me going to the airport
3:59
now that this new stay at home law is in
4:03
place or will be in place after midnight
4:07
or shortly before midnight
4:25
I was also looking on the information
4:25
online of the rental car company that I
4:28
normally use and a lot of their return
4:31
and pick up locations the smaller ones
4:34
which are the ones I usually go to near
4:37
my home in Orange County California are
4:40
not currently open so that would mean I
4:44
would have to go to LAX which is a
4:46
little bit of a hike did I start to
4:48
think about ride-sharing uber or lyft or
4:52
any of those with those self-employed
4:57
folks be even willing to go out or want
4:59
to or are they even allowed to pick me
5:02
up if all hypothetical all thinking out
5:06
loud I were to hop a plane go to
5:09
California go to LAX from Orlando
5:12
International could I even get from
5:15
there down to Anaheim obviously I have
5:18
friends who would probably help me out
5:20
but times are a little stressful for
5:22
them as well they are also wanting to
5:26
kind of stay at home and I wouldn't want
5:28
to bother them
5:29
or even put them in jeopardy to leave
5:33
their house to come get me it is a it's
5:36
a it's an interesting time that we're
5:39
living at but above and beyond all that
5:42
I have made the decision that hello Bert
5:46
I have made the decision that I'm going
5:49
to stay put and stay indoors even though
5:53
it is not my forte and how I normally do
5:57
things it's time it's time to stay put
6:02
whether it be here at my family's house
6:06
in st. cloud Florida or in Orange County
6:09
California whichever I end up at for the
6:13
next couple weeks I will be stationary
6:16
and I won't be sitting on this bench now
6:19
I am NOT an authority I am NOT an expert
6:21
on the matter I don't have all the facts
6:24
and the figures
6:27
but I know people are more afraid and
6:31
confused confused is probably a better a
6:34
better word and I've been practicing
6:39
social distancing extreme social
6:42
distancing over the past four or five
6:45
days and episodes but that needs to step
6:49
it up just a notch a notch or two it is
6:54
not going to do well you scared me
6:57
just had a little chat with a couple
7:00
that pulled over here on the lake shore
7:02
to say hello of course they stayed in
7:04
their vehicle and I was that's probably
7:06
good a fee how it turned the
7:07
conversation yeah
7:10
social distancing on a positive note in
7:14
my opinion we're gonna get through this
7:18
if everyone does their part not
7:20
everyone's gonna do their part and I am
7:23
battling okay taking it to this step I
7:27
even contemplated because Osceola County
7:31
Orange County and a few other ones
7:33
across the state of Florida are closing
7:36
down there are counties that aren't so I
7:39
thought maybe I should drive over to
7:40
those other counties and just continue
7:42
what I've been doing for the past week
7:43
keeping my distance but yet showing
7:45
items and stuff and then it kind of hit
7:49
me it's time to just chill a bit just
7:54
I've time for me to chill it's okay
7:57
Adam just it's time to chill it's
8:01
allowed this family's getting a final
8:03
day volleyball session end well that
8:06
might actually be classified you know
8:09
over the next couple of weeks as
8:11
exercise so that could continue so to
8:15
reiterate wherever I end up in the
8:18
following days whether it is to stay
8:20
here in Central Florida or to get back
8:23
out to Orange County California once I
8:26
have decided I will be staying put until
8:29
the air clears until the smoke goes its
8:34
own way and life gets back to semi
8:37
normal so basically everything will be
8:40
endorsed the majority of it except to
8:43
maybe walk around the neighborhood and
8:44
get some fresh air and go to the store
8:46
for necessities this is not hand
8:48
sanitizer
8:49
it's sunscreen I saw one of these the
8:52
other day I never noticed these till
8:55
recently have yourself some sunscreen
9:06
as far as constant daily content which I
9:06
have been doing over the last series of
9:09
days and maybe even possibly weeks not
9:12
only for you know episodes but just for
9:15
my own mental well-being to stay active
9:18
and out and just to kind of put stuff
9:21
out into the universe creativity' bleah
9:26
creatively in a creative fashion I
9:30
cannot make any guarantees if that will
9:33
continue I am I've never been big well
