After
having an early morning yesterday but still getting to bed at the
normal time I was surprised to be staring at the ceiling a number of
times throughout the night. As mentioned many times in the past it
seems the more tired we are the less we seem to sleep. Also mentioned
before when you don’t sleep in the middle of the night you normally
wake up later to make up for it and today was no exception.

Yesterday
we discussed Kathy’s poor Immune System not only because of
multiple health issues but because some of the Medications
she’s on tend to make her more susceptible. After reading
Contessa’s
blog 5C’s
Que Pasa there was a list of things from a Molecular
Virologist that dealt with a Coronavirus
back in the 1970s and there have been multiple strains of it since
that time.
After
reviewing his list and more discussion this morning we made a List
of things we need to get to help keep Kathy safe from this
disease. We did spend the remainder of the morning getting our chores
completed before Kathy warmed the last of the Pulled Pork for
our lunch.
Looking
at The Weather Network before we
left the Apartment Kathy waited
by the rear entrance for me to bring the car around. Having enjoyed
Spring-Like Weather the last few
days it was a shock when the Winter-Like Wind
nearly blew me off my feet.
We
headed first to Shopper’s Drug Mart
with our List in hand. They had none of the things we needed
so we stopped at every Drug Store we
saw with no luck. We were not the first to think we should be
pro-active at protecting ourselves.
Next
we went to Dollar Tree where we had previously seen some of
the things we were looking for but they were out. Kathy recalled
seeing some at Princess Auto but
when we got there the shelves were empty. Having worked in industrial
settings I knew they got supplies from
Windsor Factory Supply. As soon as we mentioned what we
were looking for they said they were out due to the Coronavirus
because their suppliers were supplying Hospitals
first but they made a suggestion of where to look.
We
went to Great Lakes Safety Supply where
as soon as we asked for the Masks he brought the last box he
had in stock out. Unlike the typical dust masks these were designed
to stop Mists, Bacteria, Germs and Dust.
A box of Twenty was $65.00 but worth it if it keeps Kathy
healthy.
With
only One thing off our List we headed back to Walmart.
We were able to find the Zinc Lozenges that
the experts say will help rid you of the severe soar throat and help
boost your immunity when you start feeling sick.

We
still had a number of places to check out but we were starting to
feel hungry. As luck would have it we still had some Coupons
in the Car. We went to Arby’s
where we had a tasty Roast Beef Meal at a reasonable price.
We
went to Bulk Barn where using a
Coupon we were able to get some Healthy Snacks with a
$5.00 savings.

With
still more on our List to get we headed over to Canadian
Tire. We were able to find Lysol Wipes for being
able to wipe off surfaces or articles that we suspect as having been
contaminated. We also were able to find Anti-Bacterial Hand
Sanitizer and Lysol Antibacterial Spray. It was strange
that we found all these products in an Auto
Supply Store when Drug
and Department Stores were out of
stock.
We
got back to the Apartment
just
on time to watch the
6 o’clock Local News and
one of the first things they talked about was the Coronavirus.
We later watched an episode of Law
and Order
before surfing the news channels. It was like they were all reading
the same script on Coronavirus.
The Elderly
and
those with Compromised
Immune Systems or
have Breathing
Issues
are those most at risk. Everyone else will only feel like they have a
bad case of the Flu.
Let’s hope they get it under control soon. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

So tell me, why is everyone in Washington State buying toilet paper????? And in California, they are stocking up on bottled water, to the tune of 40 or more cases!!! It's crazy!! Masks are certainly a good idea for Kathy!!
ReplyDeleteThey say the masks won't protect you but help stop you from spreading it to others once you have it. Also important to note, they should be individually wrapped as it is an airbourne virus, so if you have it and open the bag the rest are all infected. Only 1 use per mask as well, as soon as you pull it down it is done in an airbourne environment. Use debit/credit as bank notes are being suspected now. I recommend tap so you don't have to touch the same buttons as everyone else either.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder how you two survive in Quartzsite where they hardly any stores at all. Maybe, it will be best if Kathy stayed home till they get a handle on this thing. All those visits to stores and restaurants can't be good.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's funny that you can find so many things at Canadian Tire that have nothing to do with tires.
ReplyDeleteYou guys got lucky in being able to find the last box of face masks. I have been busy keeping up with the cases in the USA and do not know how many cases there are in Canada...do you have a lot and are they near you?
