  • Mask on.

    So what I wrote a few weeks back has come to fruition we’re going back to masks on the buses & sign in sheets at my favorite café. We’re in the 4th Wave of COVID. They’re saying COVID passes one week & then something else the next week.

    It makes for a pretty confusing time, with all the wishy, washy back & forth. I am wondering how actual Christmas will be? Watching American Christmas movies isn’t cheering me up. Going into the season.

    I am wondering how this second year of COVID will shape up? With new restrictions in place I am starting to feel pretty defeated. The lax rules felt good while they lasted but felt Very Temporary.

    Although I have all my shots this is really becoming frustrating. That the 400.000 that didn’t feel that the vaccine was “right” for them is Now causing this. It truly sucks, there is no way around it. How can people this irresponsible & justify their skewed view is now wrecking havoc on our healthcare system.

    Now, I am just hoping that things won’t be in a lockdown by my birthday next year. Fingers crossed. Here’s to hoping! Wishing everyone a good First Advent & Thanksgiving.

  • Yuletide/ Thanksgiving post

    I am soo excited, I finished all my Christmas shopping today in 30 minutes in town. I don’t have any reason to stress in December & just can focus on my new book. It feels great to have everything done so early.

    This is also my Thanksgiving post & what I am grateful for this year. On top of my list is all cool people I have met this year. Even though July was difficult I am grateful for my marriage.

    I’m grateful for my bestie who keeps me grounded. We have 10 years of friendship & that means the world to me. Our conversations on Skype is something I look forward to every week.

    That we have a roof over our heads & that we’re both healthy. That we’re vaccinated.

    For our four legged creature that keeps us on our toes & is very silly.

    My cousin’s who where very sweet with me in May after my Farmor passed at 103. You guys are Great, thank you!!

    For all the people that has made this year under a lockdown bareable & the cafés that stayed open when I needed a place to write. Thank you.

    For my husband of nearly 12 years, even though this year hasn’t been the easiest I love you. We can accomplish anything together.

    I practice my 4 things everyday: Live, laugh, Love & be grateful for the small things as well as the big.

  • The “not” returning to “normal.”

    Here we are 2 months after opening up & the country is under new restrictions from Parliament. Masks are once again the thing to have on buses & the unvaccinated now face a battle with the government.

    It’s sad really that it didn’t take long for a new wave of COVID to hit us. I am disappointed in all the folks that don’t believe in the vaccine & are now putting the rest of us in danger.

    We’re getting vaccine passes much like everywhere else in Europe. Something I quite like because if you don’t have a pass you won’t be able to attend events. Hence, cutting down on the transmission of the virus.

    But we shouldn’t have had to do this but people have become careless with their health & don’t stay home IF they’re sick. That’s why we’re in this position in the first place. It angers me that we’ve gone backwards instead of forwards.

    Soo much for returning to “normal” we shelve that for the next 6 months. It was what I was most afraid of & now it’s happening. They’ve said that they’re not going to lock us down again BUT the beginning stages of it are already happening.

    Get vaccinated or get lost. I like what Singapore is doing making the unvaccinated sick pay for their own medical care. You should because you’re the reason we’re back in this mess.
