03-11-21 one year of Dr Bonnie
One year ago today the Province of BC via Dr Bonnie Henry announced that the World Health Organization had declared a Pandemic. Today I watched Dr Bonnie choke up and be unable to continue for the moment during her press conference. She must be exhausted. She and Adrian Dix have been the face of all of this for BC for a year now. 11 days later I decided I was unable to trust in the system of my employers and moved home to work. The bonus today was the relaxing of restrictions to allow gatherings of 10 outside. Emmys birthday is Easter Monday so I suggested to Rae that we have a Sunday Easter hunt and birthday party. It will be 12 with Ashlée and I but 7 are in Rae’s family so I feel we will still meet the criteria.
I have become a judgy cow. I am aware as I speak or think unkind things. I need to put my filters back in place, think before I speak, or rather stop thinking about other people’s business. I called a co-worker tonight to apologize and own my stuff. Of course she was kind and let me off easy.
Today was a lot of volunteer stuff again. But I got enough done to be ok with going away for the next three days. I am prepped for my jobs to do, have even contacted a client in Fruitvale to stop at his house on Sunday and drop paperwork as well as pick up the next round. I have done 4 tax returns so far and all were refunds. I like to tell people they are getting money back.
I came home from work and decided I had a mission to get some projects finished before I leave tomorrow so I took the time to reinstall my ceiling fan to flush mount. I admit to cursing and talking to it. It was heavy and hard and it took many tries to get it mounted but it is now and I think it is wonderful.
And then I decided that Gage needs a pie. I seem to remember that he loves pie so I made a Green Apple pie. It was satisfying to do so.
Grey’s Anatomy was very sad this week.
