Day 10

Wednesday, March 25, 2020

It's been a day! The warden (a neighbour) of the county called to see if we needed anything as he was doing a run for groceries, etc. My next-door neighbour called from the grocery story to see if we needed anything. And yesterday another neighbour called to see if we needed anything from the Superstore in Kingston. We sure live in the right part of the world right now.

Bill did the early-morning-seniors'-time run to the store this morning with the list. He said it worked out fine. He thanked the cashier for being there. I was happy to hear that because his thanks took care of my thanks too.

We headed off to Pension Pies to get our weekly stash of goodies and did the Loop. Down this side of the river to Granville Beach and back on the other side of the river so I could go to Pharmasave in Bridgetown for printer paper AND Hawkins Cheezies. It's a good thing they only had the small bags!

I have spoken with my excellent girlfriends and they are doing well. I watched my brother Don on an episode of Workin' Moms last night. It was pretty funny.

The sun shining like fury out there today. The snow is sort of melting and I'm not going to check the weather until tomorrow.

As far as the political scene goes - just about the way you would expect. Our government stayed up all night to come to an agreement on a bailout bill - it's in the hands of the Senate now. Down South, they seem to have gotten their bill part way through their process. Now I have to stop watching for a while. I tend to get over-saturated! It isn't pretty.

I am reading Liz Hay's book - All Things Consoled. I am only part way in. It's about her relationship with her parents. She writes beautifully! It is (so far) poignant and funny and insightful and searching. I knew Liz when we were in Yellowknife a long, long time ago - a fantastic broadcaster and storyteller for CBC Radio.

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.
