Yes, tomorrow we are locked down....... again. This variant has become a wild bug, doing what it does best by infecting the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. So glad we purchased the N95 masks a couple of weeks ago, as I am sure there are none out there to buy now. This is the only mask the authorities are saying actually protects people. I applaud the health care workers who wear them all day, every day when they are working. They are very uncomfortable to wear even for the short time when we got our groceries this morning.
The sun is so welcome this morning, it is cold but not feeling as bad as it would if the sky was dark and cloudy. There was frost on the outside and the inside of Hubby's car windows when we went out and 9:30 a.m. The heat from the sun soon cleared the windows of my car. Hardly anyone in the grocery store, the cereal aisle had more empty shelves than last week, glad we bought what we needed then. I believe, because of the lock down looming again, we shall see even more empty spaces on shelves in the future.
Hubby received some sad news yesterday, his brother in law passed away. It was a surprise to learn this news, as we attended their 50th wedding anniversary just a few months ago, he had a very aggressive rare cancer and chose yesterday to leave this world as he was very ill with no hope of any recovery. We will need to register with the funeral home to attend the funeral on Saturday.
Dinner tonight, chicken, asparagus and some of the leftover cauliflower (potato), from yesterday.
That is sad news about your husband's brother and the new restrictions in Canada. I enjoy Viva Frei's online videos, he is a charming Canadian lawyer who comments on all legal situations worldwide including the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds delicious, I haven't had asparagus since Spring! I haven't splurged on an N95 mask as I go out so seldom, but I think I will start to double-mask from now on. The grocery store was very quiet this morning (8:15) but it was still hard to keep a reasonable distance from some people. It's mostly seniors at that time in the morning and I think a lot of them are quite philosophical about the dangers of infection having lived through other plagues!
