I apologize for the delay, I meant to post this on Sunday…..

It almost doesn’t feel like a Sunday, or the weekend for that matter. Days of the week haven’t been the same. It feels as though I’m operating on different clock then the world around me. It feels as though I’m in a fish bowl all by myself. From the inside looking out, feeling as though I’m missing out on life, yet strangely peaceful on my own. Loved ones check in by phone, but can’t touch. Still I am grateful. I hope this week Christmas, I can spend some quality time with them, that’s the plan. It definitely hasn’t been easy being far away from them, in addition to the shutdown. Still I am grateful.

Thankfully I’ve been occupied with work, which help the weeks go by, regardless of how hectic. It’s been incredibly hectic, and a little stressful because the volume has went up, by eighty percent, and unfortunately we’re one man short. I’ve been taking it in stride, pacing myself to avoid cramped fingers, or premature carpal tunnel. We barely take breaks and management checks in and asks, if we’re okay, knowing that we’re not. I grab a snack in between and I don’t complain, I’m grateful that I have food.

My very small virtual team, has been awesome, through the roller coaster ride of changes. We ‘re one man down and we’ ve adapted very well to the eighty percent increase in traffic. We look out for one another as much as we can, as there’s only a few of us.

I stopped to take this photo the other day on walk from home from shopping. I thought to myself, how lovely… It’s nice that this shop decorated these little bushes. Very pretty.

As of today the province wide “full” lock down, has been announced. I’m speechless. Well, actually I’m not speechless, I just don’t feel the need to share my two cents on it. If I did, my two cents will amount to two dollars!

Talk to you soon.

Take Care, Stay safe, and Stay tuned.

Love and Respect,
