Oh the super crankies have really got me this week.
Last week it was the intermittent tears. I cried with the news, I cried with the food bank telethon, I cried sitting and staring out the window.
I’ve been working from home except for 2 days where I was mandated to go into work and do 8 hours a day of completely not my job or related to my job duties. I still was “In the line of fire” for covid so I had to strip at the back door, wipe down every surface I touched and shower. The pandemic response at my work is being run by people with ZERO medical knowledge. Not very comforting. Dumb asses. I will take my pay and shake my head.
I’ve also been jerked around this week working at home. Meetings that have been moved 4 times, people that don’t show up. Lots of excuses but no valid reason to not be professional. Nobody is hands on COVID care. Learn how to use a clock and a calendar. Dumb asses.
I bought masks for the 3 of us, and an extra. It isn’t the norm yet anywhere I have gone. I think that it should be. It doesn’t protect me from the virus, it protects others from me if I have it and not know.
I think that the 3 of us may have already had it. Not that anyone can be sure as there is no proper testing for antibodies done in Canada. No proper meaning that there isn’t even a test to run that is really accurate. The existing one gives a lot of false positives from what I read. Or who even knows anymore. I just hope I don’t croak from a damn virus that came from a bat.
There have been some OK and even funny things. During the telethon they had Bryan Adams singing. Kid 3 says - who is that guy mom? He’s really good. “Ya he is pretty awesome” Randy Bachman “Taking Care of Business” was worth a big grin too. I donate to the food bank at our grocery store, so I didn’t give money that evening. The weather has been decent for a few days in the last week. Able to sit outside and enjoy a drink on the deck. I did a bunch of baking the other day. 6 dozen cookies. Eat some and freeze some. I found yeast at the store. I’m going to try buns again. Last time I made a rock collection! Kid 1 finished another university class towards a second degree. An 84%. Not shabby at all for working full time.
Kid 2 is finished his course. And there are no jobs to be found. Not sure what the plan going forward will be. Doesn’t matter, just be healthy and safe.
Kid 3 is online learning everyday. The math seems to be taught alright, the other classes seem to be quite optional and well below grade level work required. Just to get him out of bed and his mind thinking about something I guess.
I like to start looking around garden centers this time of year. No browsing sessions for me. I will make a list and in and out same day. Not for a couple of weeks yet. Today is windy and cool. Not good for tender plants. My lillies are coming back, and trees have the buds ready, but no green yet.
I can’t add pictures, I think that is a thing happening with Blogger quite a bit. I also can’t comment on anyone’s blog. Well I can but it switches my ID to that of kid 3 and his school ID name and number. So I will have to keep my comments to myself until my iPad isn’t the classroom.
I see that there will be a meat supply issue. This is what happens when you rely on giants that don’t give a shit about their workers. Luckily we are city folk with a country background and can source right from the farmers.
So I’m still cranky and have the blah’s but there are always things to be grateful for:
We are all healthy
I made an extra $800 this pay period because people are stupid
My cookies are 100 x better than my buns ☺️
Fridge and freezer have everything we need.
I don’t have any debt
I’m still able to work as much as I want to
Spring is here, the snow is gone and the birds are singing.
Peace out, stay safe, wash your hands and wear a mask to keep your cooties to yourself.
