Good Morning All,
Welcome to a bright and clear blue sky on this Sunday morning.
Our time changed.
We flipped our clocks ahead by one hour here in Edmonton, Alberta.
I just returned from shovelling once again out front and going to look after Humphrey and Cynder.
Changing food, water, litter box and so on.
Then I gathered up Mr. Humphrey as he was happily waiting at the door for me to do so.
I carried the shovel in one hand and Humphrey in the other arm.
I am so happy to see that the snow has stopped falling.
We have so much.
I will have to shovel the driveway as well.
My driveway is at the back of the garage.
This morning I did some on the deck as well.
We have lots of ice build up so where there is ice, I left some snow cover.
Especially out front.
Gives a bit of traction when walking and less chance of falling and hurting oneself.
Thinking about all those folks including me that are out walking with their pups.
Yesterday was a great day.
My daughter, her husband and grand pups dropped by for a visit.
We had coffee and I share the chocolate chip cookies and no bake energy bites with them.
I also sent the remainder of the cookies home with them.
Less for me to eat.
Later on, Alvin’s best friend Teddy and his Mom are coming for tea and a visit.
Then we gals will head on over to the grocery store.
I am a bit anxious to see if our nearby grocery store still has bathroom tissue.
Some of the people I work with were telling stories that the places they had gone were out of bathroom tissue and Walmart actually had bare shelves.
If so, the worries of the Coronavirus have hit home for sure.
There are more and more reports on the news from around the world of shortages, closures of businesses and schools.
Hospitals are crazy busy.
I am going to remain calm in this storm.
Wash my hands as often as I usually do (after bathroom, after being in public and so on).
Covering ones face when coughing and sneezing and then washing hands is so important.
I even notice at work people taking great liberty with coughing and sneezing.
Forgetting that is how germs are spread.
We are cleaning our desks and workspaces with wipes.
When on the bus, I am wearing my gloves and not touching anything.
One night on the way home a teenager was on his cell phone, wiping his dripping nose with his hand, arm and sleeve and then going on his phone.
ARGH.
He was old enough to know better.
Anyway I am looking forward to seeing our friends later on.
Humphrey is downstairs.
Alvin is of course at my side.
Going to head to the shower, need to feel some refreshing water hit my body.
Thursday night we are going out for supper to celebrate my daughter’s 40th Birthday.
So excited to celebrate my baby’s birthday with my kids.
Tuesday is the birthday of my son-in-law’s brother.
Happy Birthday D (early).
Okay, time to get going here.
Lots to do.
Have to have some toast and coffee.
I think I have worked up an appetite.
Happy Happy Sunday.
Be kind and respectful always of everyone and everything in your path.
Always, Carol & Alvin
