Good Morning and Welcome to the weekend.
Well this Saturday morning is not quite as beautiful weather wise as Friday.
The sky is overcast and it is lightly snowing.
When we were first up at 4:00 a.m., the snow had already started.
How are you doing today?
Me, to be honest going into yesterday I was actually feeling pretty great.
I had a productive day.
We received notice about government decisions that will add a new layer of work with deadlines.
So life goes on.
I am not complaining but this VIRUS affects everyone to some degree.
You may have been laid off from your job.
You may qualify for Employment Insurance Benefits.
You may qualify for other Federal Government Benefits.
You may be on a fixed income.
You may be working from work.
You may have the virus.
Family member might have the virus and you are worried.
You may be self-isolating after an out of country trip.
You may have money invested and see the market downturn.
You might be older or have a comprised immune system and be worried about your health.
You may not be able to get out for groceries and when you do the shelves are empty.
You may just be worried.
You may be what is deemed to be an essential service such as Health Care Workers, Utilities and such.
You may be in Health Care and working alongside people with the virus and worried for you and your family.
You may persons in charge of watching over the populations trying your best to make things right.
Whether a scientist, world leader, doctor, nurse or parent.
We are all in this together.
It is snowing a bit harder now.
I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make it better for all my fellow human beings.
For now Alvin and I are doing okay.
He definitely has set into the routine as at the times that I should be leaving the “office” for breaks and after work, he jumped up and stared at me.
I ended up working later as I wanted to finish returning phone calls.
He was not happy.
Even Alvin knows to self care.
I can learn from him.
Anyway, we had two wonderful walks last night.
My neighbours worked on draining more of the water and chipped more ice from our side of the street.
So grateful for them.
We had supper.
I worked for a bit in the evening.
Watched PICARD.
I was not surprised by the turn of events as when the show started I noticed something I had noticed but not paid close attention.
Well it came to fruition during the episode.
I do not wish to release that bit of information for those who may not have seen the show yet.
Well I shall be going.
There be laundry to do.
I was thinking that I should be cleaning the light fixtures.
Bedding to change.
After the bedding is changed and the first load of laundry has been started, it will be time for COFFEE and TOAST.
We will be okay.
There will be moments.
For sure.
Did you watch PLUTO Living yet?
Oh you must.
The cutest little four-legged (don’t tell Alvin I said that).
Remember to laugh.
Try not to be worried.
We will prevail.
We will get through this.
Things will be different, I would imagine.
But different is not always bad.
So I have found out.
Change seems to be happening on a regular basis.
As this world of ours evolves.
Have a great Saturday.
Take some time to relax.
Have a cup of coffee or tea or your favourite beverage.
Hugs from a distance.
Go for a walk.
Do something unexpected for someone.
Do something expected for you.
Be kind and respectful.
Always, Carol & Alvin
