My original intent for this blog was to reach out to people and see how their days were. Just the regular kind of "hey, how's it going?" I was going to post about my day, and let other people talk about theirs in the comments. But I think for now, while the premise is the same, I'm reaching out to see how people are dealing with our current new reality.
Are you stuck at home with nowhere to go? Need to vent? Please do. I'll try to answer everyone.
So, here we are. Today is Saturday, April 4, 2020. I went to bed at about 3:00 this morning and slept until just after 8. So, 5 hours of sleep. I mean, when you're stuck at home, I guess you don't need too many hours of sleep?
I've been spending most days playing insane amounts of Fortnite (I made it to Level 133) and avoiding doing my homework. I'm in school full time trying to make a career change, but this pandemic closed my school, so my remaining weeks of this semester are all online. The bonus? No uniform!!
I'm lucky that I still get to go to work. I work in Security at a hotel, so we are required, even if the hotel winds up having to close its doors. Though it seems that won't happen, regardless of any new closures that the government decides to impose to try and stem this spread. If we do have to close, we'll go from one security associate on to two per shift. Right now, all our shifts are solo.
My kids are bored. To the point that they sleep most of the day and we don't really see them at all. They're teenagers, so... no surprise there. They get to go back to school on Monday - online. One kid is excited because she is just that bored. The other seems ambivalent.
The news is never good when it comes to covering the pandemic. More infections, more deaths and just a lot of sadness. But you know what? In a few months, as this starts to pass and we're able to go back to some semblance of our normal life before, we'll be that much more grateful for the things we took for granted in the Pre-Covid-19 days.
I will say, that although I do not like the Premier of my province, Doug Ford, I can not find fault with the way he has led the province through this crisis. He has been open, as honest as he feels is appropriate, and has been a true leader. Even Trudeau has been pretty good. I still wouldn't vote for either of them again, but I can't fault their leadership. Not much, at least.
Okay, I think that's enough of an introduction. I have two essays and a brochure to write.
Stay safe, stay 2 m apart, and stay positive.
Cheers!
