I really struggled with inflammation this morning, coughing up a lot of phlegm. I always need to get it under control before going out in public, especially in these ‘Rona Days. It is exhausting when it is bad, I want to laze around, not try to concentrate. I did, however, go in to work and actually got so much done. I found a mistake I made and fixed it, gave council to a young man about his business, did a little volunteer work and debated what the answer to 8/2(2+2) equals. It is apparently creating arguments on the internet. I know it to be 16 but using different order it could be 1. I also competed a file and filed his GST. A

nd then I listened to Dr Bonnie’s briefing and learned that what has been mandated for the lower mainland has now become Province wide and more restrictions are back.

New Public Health Orders as of today, B.C. WIDE

• Masks are now mandatory at all indoor public spaces.
• Weddings and Funerals are a MAX of 10 people.
• No traveling outside of our own communities.
  (Unless for work or essential travel only)
• NO visitors at our homes, UNLESS you live ALONE
  (1-2 [max] visitors if living alone, but they must be the same 1-2 people throughout)
• Keep to our own households.
• No gatherings what so ever.
• No church services or events – the previous max of 50 is suspended.
  (See virtual alternatives)
• No high-physical indoor group activities – eg. No hot yoga, no spin class
  These are all for the next 2 weeks, when they will reevaluate.

I already had plans to go to Sean and Diane’s for dinner. When I arrived I confirmed they would be my people throughout. We will see how it goes. Dinner was delicious although it contained peppers in the seasoning and my guts are not happy. We played crib and discussed how the new rules would look to our work and play times. Already there had to be changes to the two board meetings I am involved in next week. It was interesting to find out one of the members does not have a cell phone nor a computer that will work for Zoom.

We watched the episode of SNL with Dave Chappell. I was seeing it for the second time and still marveled at how edgy and uncomfortable it was, exactly as SNL used to be. Comedians are often the ones to shed light on what needs to be seen.

I am trying to be calm and kind, and safe. It’s the best I can do.
