debris4spikeThis morning we actually our clinic finished early so I was able to stop for the minutes silence as this is the first official anniversay of Lockdown. We stopped to remember 126,000+ deaths through Covid, but also so many others who have died of un-related causes, yet have no services, So many who have suffered in so many ways. For the first time I am so glad that Mum & Dad are no longer here. To not be able to visit, to not be able to spend time with them as I did ... I would never have managed it. For those who have, and continue to suffer in such a way, my heart goes out to you.
Despite having a busy clinic this morning I did disappear for 3/4 hour - so I could get my second Covid injection. I had #1 12 weeks ago, almost to the minute. So far, so good. I didn't have any problems then, so hope today will be the same. I plan on having a fairly lazy afternoon, although have ironing to do as I washed and hang outside sheets and some clothes before I left for work this morning. So I need to re-make my bed and get ironing done.
Other than that I aim to do some more icon making. I have one on-going challenge which is stumping me, so that's good really (well I tell myself that!)
Well before I get on with other things, I will do today's question -
23. Preferred water temperature for showering?
Warm ... closer to hot, than tepid

Date: 2021-03-23 04:34 pm (UTC)I know what you mean about being glad that your parents are no longer here. My sister said, after the first month or so of the lockdown last year, that she was glad Mum had died before it as "She would have been so confused by us not visiting."
To be honest I didn't agree with her reasoning - our mother was not confused about things until her final hours when she was barely conscious. But I did totally agree with the feeling of gladness because I knew that, actually, without us visiting she would have spent her time worrying about US becoming ill or her cousins, or her favourite members of the nursing home staff if she didn't see them for a day or two, and so on.
Our parents were a generation who survived war - but at least they were able to live their lives out between the global pandemics of 1918 and 2020 and for that I am very glad.

They had some tough years without pandemics - National Strike & WWII ... so, maybe we have things better when you think of those disaters.
