I just realized that it has been almost one month since my last posting!
Covid continues to ravage the world. New restrictions in our area have finally mandated mask wearing in public spaces. The health system is being overwhelmed and positive numbers continue to climb. It is amazing to me that people have to be ordered to wear a mask...such a simple way to protect ourselves and others.
Our son Adrian tested positive for Covid and was isolated for 14 days. His isolation ended today and he will be able to enjoy two days of outdoor exercise to test his energy level before returning to work on Sunday Dec. 6th. Fortunately his symptoms eased after the first few days and his fiancé has not shown any signs of contracting the virus.
John and I sustained a fall during our walk on Monday but have managed to recover with just a few bruises to both body and psyche. He tripped over an uneven piece of pavement and managed to drag me with him...and onto him. It was a cushioned fall for me! Yesterday we enjoyed our usual walk along the Nikomekl River with no complaints from body parts.
I am continuing to volunteer at the Hospital Auxiliary thrift store for two afternoons each week. We are masked, the customers are masked and hand sanitizer is applied upon entry. The store provides major fund raising for the hospital and although our hours have been reduced (due to fewer volunteers during covid) we still have plentiful donations and patient customers who line up outside the store for whatever bargains they hope to find.
We are hopeful that 2021 will bring an end to the fear of contagion and we will be able to enjoy time with our loved ones.
