Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday September 12, 2020.
Overcast and cool with a slight breeze this morning.
We were up at our usual about 4:00 a.m.
Alvin had his glucosamine chew and ate his breakfast, peed and then we were back to sleep to the sofa.
We did not stir until just after 8:30 a.m.; I guess we were tuckered out.
Or at least I was.
Alvin did well while I was at work yesterday.
My neighbour came over at noon to check on him.
They went to the backyard but Alvin would not pee.
Not sure why.
She gave him a biscuit …. guess he never says “no” to food.
Work went great.
It was so nice to see the girls.
There were four plus me on the main floor at the office.
One of the girls I did not see.
But did see the other three.
We all wore masks when we were not at our work stations which were well over 6 ft apart.
In fact we were in opposite corners from each other.
I got everything done just before 1:00 p.m.
My daughter had to cover for a lunch break so she picked me up at 2:30 p.m.
In between I took a lunch break in between and cleaned out my desk.
Nice to have a chat with the girls whom I have not physically seen since March 19, 2020.
Went through papers as there had been a few things that needed to be scanned to client files.
Nothing life threatening.
I sanitized both workstations before I left.
It was a reminder that others have been experiencing large volumes of emails when arriving back from vacation.
I felt not alone in that respect.
Reminder that we are more alike than different.
That things will get done.
I was happy that I was able to work quickly and get my task completed – now one of my teammates won’t have to go to the office on Monday to finish up.
I was in my zone and it went fast.
We went to COSTCO after work.
Oh my goodness that place was busy.
I have not seen such a long line at the check-out in years.
People were wearing masks.
Some still had a thing about keeping proper distance though.
Now the fridge and pantry are stocked for sure.
Alvin was surely happy to see us ….. he was so excited he forgot to go pee until I urged him to go.
I pretty much had to stop what I was doing and say “Alvin go pee” about four times.
What a guy.
Perhaps that is why we slept in this morning.
Busy day yesterday.
I folded and stuffed so many envelopes that I rubbed the skin off my hands in two places.
ARGH.
Well no real sight of the sun coming out.
Time to get this show on the road.
I have housework to do.
I want to rearrange and clean out the pantry again.
Laundry as usual.
Clean the main floor.
Walk at some point.
Vacuum …..
Write ……
Relax ….. for sure.
Living with Kindness and Respect.
I/We shall remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
