Yesterday afternoon we had a visit from one of my great granddaughters, her Mum and Dad. Audrey is 2 1/2 years old and such a sweetheart. Busy little people, aren't they, made us tired just looking at her on the move all the time. The family will be home for Christmas day and then going to see Grandma and Papa on Boxing day and staying with them for a couple of days.
Granddaughter C has finished he first semester, wrote exams and now working for a couple of weeks prior to starting her second semester. K is home from Ottawa's Carleton U for Christmas week and today is marking exams for the professor she is working with. I will see both of them and their Mum and Dad on Boxing day.
My niece's daughter has had another COVID test and that confirmed she is positive, not ill, just a bit congested. She is in the house by herself, so today she is cleaning the house for something to do. My sister, niece and her husband were only able to get a test scheduled for Friday and won't get their results back until after the weekend.
As of today, everyone over a certain age and it has been the required length of time since their second jab, could book for their booster. So on the web site I went early this morning, finally after a run around to numerous sites I was able to get on the appropriate one to get an time for our jab. I waited for 21 minutes and then was directed to another web site only to be advised everything was booked up my DD2 everything was booked up until Jan 17, 2022. I wasn't able to go on a waiting list, if someone had cancelled. So frustrating to say the least. There is a pop up clinic at a local mall, and was instructed the hours of operation, and also, if there is a line up and all of the time slots have been assigned you might as well go home. I am at a loss of words to describe the mess this system is in or should say the lack of anything that resembles a system. Done my rant.
Had a quick dinner tonight of leftovers from yesterdays roast beef and veg as Hubby had to go to a meeting, only to come a short while later as it had been cancelled due to the Covid restrictions.
Sneaked in to the vaccination website just before they opened it up to everyone over 18. I think that was a huge mistake and I hope the provincial government is regretting that hasty move. Don't know what they were thinking! Enjoy your time with family - you will have a busy few days.
ReplyDeleteThese things are so frustrating. It's not as if the powers that be couldn't foresee the need for boosters and plan accordingly.
