First l, I was shivering last night, so actually wore gloves to bed. But, luckily, I did my stiff-as-a-log, dead-as-a-doornail and slept. What can I say? When it works, it's wonderful.
What wasn't so wonderful was most of my day. I managed to get stuff done for the blind group, but then pain butted in. Got a call from the meals admin. Even though I declined being interviewed last week, the admin mentioned that they're in the middle of fundraising, which has changed dramatically with the outbreak. So, they're relying on static advertising for which she's seeking my way with words. So I agreed to provide her with a testimonial by Monday.
Was only half-awake while watching my TV shows. Sigh. I'll have to rewatch Will&Grace because - with my eyes closed - I missed all the old I Love Lucy sight gags. But I did laugh at Will's Ricky impression with "Ay-ay-ay!" Anyway, I also watched the press conference from Ottawa. What a relief to see our PM answering questions at length in both English and French - certainly not limited to 140-character answers that usually end with "Very bad." Yeah, I'm talking about the Idiot-in-Chief. Someone who's so outraged about the mismanagement south of the border wrote a disturbing McShep Atlantis story.
But the day was ultimately coloured by a post from my chosen baby bro who posted on FB just two minutes before I picked up my phone when I woke up. His dad died last night. He'd been living in a long-term care facility in Ottawa. The post was accompanied by a CBC story on him and (I guess) diversification in farming in Newfoundland decades ago. So, I sent Brian the tightest cyberhugs ever. So many things in life - whether celebrating or mourning - are being delayed for a long time to come. So, no wonder I was cranky.
I'm just going to have some soup, take my pills, and slide back into bed. Sigh.
