Started my day with The Monthly ABC Zoom. Lots of good chat and catching up. Found out one of us has Covid-19 which was shocking especially as she looks so fine. I understood that she had a headache and no sense of smell, other than that, just fine. All of the talk bust have just tripped a wire for me as I got super emotional. They are all so kind and loving and I was grateful to be able to melt down a little. I guess my Covid fatigue is real and I just want to check out for a while. Seems my .iPad knows I should reach out and suggested I contact my cousin Debbi.
I decided to go get groceries and painting supplies, etc. so i can hunker down for a while. Stopped at Home Depot to check on the doors I ordered August 16th to have them say they were last supposed to have been shipped n the 6th from Quebec. They will follow up and let me know. As it happens, my appliances I ordered on the 2nd of October through The Brick still aren’t here either but the new countertops are arriving Thursday or Friday. Yay, small business! Came out of the store to see my car has nasty scratches. Argh….
Picked up the last grandkid Christmas present today so there’s that. Wrapped Will’s birthday lego for Monday and put away the groceries that had to go in the fridge or freezer. And then I finished watching THe Long Way Up. I am sad it is over as I did enjoy spending time on that journey. Part of it made me even sadder that travel is so out of the question for who knows how long and part of it brought tears of joy. The moment the clouds lifted and Ewan saw Machu Picchu for the first time I knew exactly what he was feeling. He had wanted to go there since he was a child, just as I had and I won’t ever forget how it felt to be there. The part where we learn about his adoption of the young child from his 2004 trip was just lovely. There were so many great moments, odd choices around renovating a bus and times of fear for them on the trails they were riding. It really did take me out of the dark place I was in for an evening and now I shall go to sleep, perchance to dream.
