March is here again ....

and where no better then we where last year.  We are in week 3 of lockdown with at least another week to go.  Things are better on the covid front but we still are seeing cases but we are in the single digits of new cases and I think we are just a little over 100 active cases.  With 2 new deaths bringing our total to 6.  I haven't really been keeping close tabs. It is stressing me out to be honest.  

I have been doing the bare minimum most days for to many days now.  I just can't seem to get out of the funk I am in. I have moments but, nothing that is lasting.  I have to force myself to do other things just to get it done.  This is so not like me.  I know part of it is the lockdown and part of it is winter.  I just can't get out like I want to walk.  Plus going places now is just to much worry about getting sick or bringing it home to those who really can't afford to get it. 

The things that usually brings me out of my funk isn't helping.  I love to read but last month I read only two books and that was early in the month.  I did manage to read a book last night it was a little over 100 pages so I guess that is something.  I love to listen to music but don't get to do that much where I usually get the time to do that is on walks.  One silver lining has been tiktok.  I have probably been spending too much time on there but it seems to be the only thing to distract me lately.  I really need to keep out of me head it isn't really a good place lately.  I know this will pass but I just wish it would sooner then later. 

So that is basically how I have been. 

 

Long time no post....

 Sorry things have been crazy busy on my end.  On top of that haven't really been feeling 100 percent for awhile now.  

I went in for day surgery, Wednesday past, female stuff.  Here's hoping it was worth it.  On the mend, but some days are better then others.  Only time will tell if it fixed the issues I was having. I got in under the wire, because by Friday everything was shut down. 

We are in lockdown number 2 here.  One of our high schools got the covid variant from the UK, so we are trying to get things under control.  Thankfully it wasn't my daughters school.  So for at least the next two week, the kids will be doing online learning.  I figure once we get closer to the 26th of the month they might extend it another week or more. 

We are only allowed to go out when we have to.  Most places are closed except for grocery stores, drugstores and the such.  If you can work from home they want you too.  Fast food places and restaurants can do deliver or curb side pick up. 

So far we have 296 active cases and all but a handful of those are from the one cluster out break. sigh

Winter is here still.  I thought we were getting an early spring Mister groundhog. So I guess the last few storms we are having is going to make up for that.  I think we have another one coming the middle of this week. 

On a fun note I have found a great new distraction and it is called TikTok. lol  God help me. I don't post I prefer to watch. lol  I mean watch creators well thought out videos and comment accordingly lmao

2020 was one big dumpster fire .....

 Well this year has been a shit show from the beginning and it didn't get any better.  Here in my little slice of the world we started with Snowmagedden which hit us in January.  Then the Pandemic hit us in March.  Which we are still dealing with and will be still dealing with going into the new year. But we are doing better then most place.  But I guess that is the benefit of living on an island.   We still get case but they are all travel related due to people coming and going for work.  

I would like to say things can't get any worse but I am not about to temp fate on that one.  She might call my bluff. 

Not sure what has kept me going all these months.  I keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and I thought we were seeing that with the vaccine but then the UK gets a case of covid that hasn't been seen before.  So of course Canada can't be left out and now we are seeing new cases of this variant as they are calling it.  

But I guess one good thing came of this year, Trump wasn't re-elected.  So I guess that is something.  But he isn't going out with out a fight.  He is acting like a spoiled child that didn't get his way.  Thank god I don't live in the States but I feel for all those who are struggling and going without because of that man.  I haven't seem someone so selfish as that man.  

Anyway just had to put my few thoughts down on this year so when this is finally all over I can look back.  But I don't think I will forget this year any time soon. 

Only a few more days left of this dumpster fire of a year and I can't wait to see it in my rearview mirror.  Here's hoping for better things in the new year.  Stay safe, wear your mask and keep your 6 feet, keep your bubble. 

Can I get a do over for this year, or just skip to next year .......

I am so over this year.  Can we just skip to 2021 already.  Or at least I want a do over for this year.  With the Covid-19 taking over our day to day lives and life as we know it is no more.  I don't even see a light at the end of the tunnel either.  

Don't get me wrong where I live we have flattened the curve hell we have eradicated Covid-19.  But all our hard work and doing with out, might be for not.  We have opened our boarder to other Atlantic Providences.  Now for the most part those 4 we have invited to join our bubble have gotten a handle on there cases and have little to no cases.  But with all good things, people go looking for loop holes and before we know it we will have cases again.  Then there is talk to open our boards to the US well don't get me going on that mess, 50 thousand cases a day.  Yikes.  I think not keep the US out till they get a handle on things. 

I want my daughter to go to school next year, do her grade 12 in class and graduate with all the bells and whistles that she has worked so hard all these years.  I know things won't be totally the same as previous years but if we have no new case and we do social distancing then the school year can be achieved.  Yes we have to learn to live with Covid but all this hard work and sacrificing we are doing only to have others from outside our provenience to ruin it just isn't fair.  We have gone without seeing family, gone without socializing, gone without vacations, gone without our normal day to day lives.  We have proven that social distancing does work and to wear masks when we can't but to allow visitors that could potentially bring the virus back to us only to have to go back to lock down when we just opened up isn't fair. 

Now I don't know things might go swimmingly, with minimal to no cases but I am a glass half empty person and I don't see things working out in our favor.
