Good Morning All.
How are you today?
Alvin and I are well.
For some reason beyond my expertise, Mr. Alvin was up and down every couple of hours.
He does not appear to be ill or in pain.
Perhaps he just senses all the madness that is going on in the world around him.
I have tried to ensure that I do not bring the “worry” home with me.
Looks like I will be working from home starting tomorrow.
That will be different.
One of my neighbours braved a trip to COSTCO and was able to pick me up a bag of coffee beans.
The necessity …. cannot go without coffee.
I usually don’t make coffee during the week at home as our office supplies us with free daily coffee (we are so lucky).
So that will spending more on coffee.
I am grateful though that we can do most of our jobs at home.
Working on a laptop instead of a computer will be strange.
I am hopeful that it will all work out.
Alvin will be happy to have me at home ( I hope ).
Last night we had a nice walk.
We did not bump into many folks out walking.
At the end of the day we need to remain as close to normal or to the new norm as possible.
Start a new routine.
Make sure if you are working from home that you set up a comfortable work space.
Work your same hours.
Take your breaks and lunch.
Likely a good idea to be away from any family members.
So that you can concentrate.
Go for a walk after work.
If you have a daily exercise plan – like going to the gym.
There is always some form of exercise show on television.
Follow along.
Eat your meals on time.
Drink lots of water.
They say it is very important to remain hydrated.
If you have a neighbour that lives by themselves, check on them daily.
Being isolated on your own terms is one thing but when family and friends are not able to visit on a regular basis, isolation can be a threat to your well being.
So reach out.
Do not spend much time on SOCIAL MEDIA.
There is so much negativity out there and false reports.
No one needs to worry unnecessarily.
I think we should be concerned but not to let it keep you awake at night.
Wash your hands and stay away from crowds.
Stay home if possible.
All we can do at this time, is be good to each other.
Treat all around us with kindness and respect.
I am so grateful for the warming trend over the next week or so.
Perhaps SPRING is close.
Babies ….. buds on the trees …..
I love spring.
The smell of melting snow and our world returning to life.
One of the gals that I work with is giving me a ride to and from work today.
It is laptop day …… something new to learn.
Should be interesting.
Well time to fly.
Take Alvin downstairs and finish putting things together.
Have a wonderful day.
Be safe.
Always, Carol & Alvin
