Been awhile since I've posted anything, so just wanted to let people know I'm fine.
I had last week booked off for FE, which got cancelled, so I spent much of the week doing shopping and sitting at home watching too many World of Tanks/Ships videos. I also play Ingress, and finally managed to make lvl 10 while doing my food runs. Luckily we're fairly well stocked up, so I shouldn't have to go out as often anymore.
I work in a grocery store, so I'm considered essential, so it was back to work this week. The frantic hoarding has calmed down, but I still see the odd people still at it. Like the woman with 24 packs of frozen vegetables or the man with 15 stalks of celery. We're also starting to see people shopping for others who are in quarantine, which is nice to see in such troubled times.
Now I work in a cooler and/or freezer for about half the day, so it tends to limit my contact with other people. It does give me a case of the sniffles from the constant temperature changes, which people give me dirty looks for. Now I haven't run into really obnoxious people, but I know the front end has. I really wish that people would calm down and realize that it's not our fault we are out of something and that we don't know when it will be back in stock. Our warehouse/vendors are sending us what they can, but shortages right now of some things are a fact of life. Don't take it out on us, we can only work so fast and listening to you bitch about why we don't have something only slows us down.
Now my only real concern is my mother. We live with her and although she doesn't go out, my sister and I do, so it's a real concern for us, if one of us comes into contact with the virus. She also has nurses come in every few days, so that is worrisome as well.
But in the end, we can only do our best and know that in time, this too shall pass. I'm hoping as the warmer weather comes it will begin to wind down, but I think it's still gonna be a problem for a wile yet. As for the future, I'm hoping to maybe make Canfurence or possibly AC if our dollar rebounds, but only time will tell.
Anyways to all my friends and followers, stay healthy and safe and be good to one another.
Ciao
