Still here!

 So far, no changes in work. No surgeries until most likely June, and our premier continues to be incompetent and so not suited for the job; but I digress. It's been very cloudy here, so no motivation to go outside and do anything - but I do need a new seat for my bike, it is SO uncomfortable and my a s s is never happy when I hop on! But I do want to get some rides in, because it is such a good overall workout I think. I took half a Reactine to sleep / skin was bothering me, and I hope I am less drowsy. Going to eat breakfast, then head to Costco. My mom and step dad went down to my brother's place this week, as he and his wife are really struggling having the 2 year old and the baby at home - hopefully we can help them out, because my brother especially is meeting his limit for tolerance. Sigh!! I want this thing just to be over.

Tuesday 4 - Your Town

 

1. Do you like your town? Is it a city, town ? Can you describe it for us?

- I am in a huge city, Toronto! Home of Drake, the Raptors, and a large Caribbean community - which I love personally (I am pretty biased though ;) )

2. Are there any special points of interest in your town? - yes, the CN Tower! And we have a Ripley's Aquarium, a beautiful lake, lots of good food etc etc - and Caribana in the summer (the Torontonian Carnival)

3.Does your town have parks, restaurants? - oh yes! High Park, lots of places to hike/ walk through, and the food is to die for.

4. Do you think your town needs changes to make it better and if so what changes would you make? - unfortunately, prices of homes are sky rocketing, but not sure if they'll be helping buyers out at all. we also need improvements on transit, and I want police reform/defunding as well - too many unfortunate cases of wrongful arrests and deaths :(

I'm Still Here!

 Zoinks, I have to get better on the posting. My skin has calmed down, I think it was an allergy/irritation that turned into a stress/anxiety thing. It just kinda went away? But I told my doctor just in case, because I might want real medicine the next time LOL.

Meanwhile, surgeries are all cancelled here in Ontario - so my boss has lost a lot of work. He is also under the weather, but feels better now - however he lost some work because of being under the weather. Sigh. So, just like last April, I may end up with cut hours? The admin next door already is down to 2 days a week from 4 :( luckily she works a 2nd job so really she is only missing 2/5 days not 3... Scary times. It is time for me to continue searching, things are so precarious now. We are also in the same situation as last year in terms of restrictions, locked down, no visiting etc. We really have the worst leader EVER. I didn't vote for him but so many folks did, UGH. I cannot wait to see the back of this! 

My second shot is in June, I hope I can get it! Everyone keep safe and warm <3

So Tired!

 I am exhausted! For the last couple of weeks, my skin has been super irritated/itchy. No amount of cream has helped, I cannot sleep properly, then I get anxious, - the cycle just goes on and on. I took a Reactine last night, and of course this morning my step dad decides to watch TV and have the volume up super high, WONDERFUL. I am a light sleeper, and I have asked both my parents to try and be considerate if they wake up before me but yeah, not so much.


Meanwhile, Ontario is going backwards in the fight against Covid. It is really frustrating, work will be affected as surgeries for April are cancelled as of Monday. Second shots are now all delayed 16 weeks, and I cannot get mine even though I work literally at the front of the hospital building (but not their employee so ...) I did get a part time job to work at a vaccination clinic, but it has been delayed by a couple weeks, sigh. There is just so much going on. My brother has recovered from Covid however, so I am super glad about that. I just hope I catch up on my sleep, and my skin calms down!
