Yeah, the anniversary.
This week is always tough, leading up to it always is, it was definitely was amplified by all the talk of ICU wards, ventilators and footage everywhere of people in hospital.Sent shivers down my spine and pictures from the memory bank in my head came back. H is super stressed over it so she’s always looking for more information and talking about it, I don’t want to shut her down because that’s her way of coping, but I’ve had to have a few polite that’s enough chats.
On a lighter note, this week we celebrated that W turned 8 months!
I’m working from home yes I have recruited W, I think I’ve had no choice he seems to want to work with me all day, my team keep asking for me to bring him onto our Skype meetings to say hi. But yes, he’s definitely interested in what I’m doing all day.
He started to try and pull himself up to our couch and almost got it today I couldn’t believe it, this kid is on the move, well and truly wants to get moving.
We are all home, all day, but still getting out for our walks.
I don’t know if it’s irresponsible or not, but H and I have talked about seeing my parents if every single one of us has stayed at home for an entire 2 weeks beforehand, both my parents are working from home (and the kids are at home, send them help) and we are all home, but that will be a while yet now isn’t a good time but maybe once we can be sure none of us have been out and about working etc. But we don’t want to put the health of any of our family members or anyone else at risk. It’s a tough one but by the sounds it one we are allowed to do using our own judgement. Even if we were to visit we’d only go to the house and straight home, no stopping
The weekend was very busy in our town, holiday makers unfortunately flocked here, we live in a town where something like 80% of residents are elderly, so anyone coming in from somewhere like Melbourne going to our shops could be very bad. We tried to explain this to people who said they had a right to holiday, well that’s incorrect and it’s not about being on holiday it’s about respecting the needs of the community.
Call it awful, but if our town had remained untouched but every other town around us burnt down in the fires, would you come here with a match, because you “have a right to?” I wouldn’t think so, but that’s essentially what you are doing... They have all been sent on their way now and the supermarket has said locals only and has been out delivering. Anyway.That was a lot.
