Thoughts While Having Lunch

Hello all,

another freezing cold,

January day.

I am so sick of,

this pandemic,

so sick of,

not seeing people,

so sick of,

people I know,

being sick.

Add to that,

it being cold,

I know January, duh,

but, really,

I am sick of it.

My morning,

was a series of calls,

of emails.

I spoke with seniors,

people I am in contact,

with,

through work.

They are all so grateful,

for a phone call,

for someone,

checking in on them.

Brings me back,

to how lucky I am.

I work,

I have an amazing home,

an awesome girlfriend,

such good friends,

many of them.

I have community,

church,

my neighbourhood,

and I am sick of it.

I can only imagine,

people stuck at home,

alone,

with no one to talk to,

or people stuck at home,

with too many people,

to talk to.

I made lunch,

some soup I made,

a few days ago,

a turkey and pickle sandwhich,

a cup of tea,

listened to music,

on Spotify,

and chastised,

myself.

Things are not great,

there are sick people,

all over the world,

and very close to home,

but, we have free healthcare,

and a government,

that has many faults,

but, I don’t think,

one of them,

is not caring.

It’s easy to bitch,

and frankly,

we need to,

a little,

evacuate,

but, ultimately,

we need to be strong,

to be positive,

we need to get through this,

together.

Thanks for listening,

I hope it wasn’t too,

platitudinal.

Be well, stay safe, stay warm.

Later girls,

BB
