Last
night before going to bed I had everything set up so I could have an
early start this morning. That was the Plan and we all know
how well Plans sometimes workout. When I woke up and saw the
clock it read 6:50. I thought that was perfect but then I blinked and
the clock was then reading 8:55.
Knowing
that we could be eating a late lunch I served cereal for breakfast.
Minutes later I had gotten dressed and was sorting and treating the
Laundry without even turning on my Computer. Thinking
that there wasn’t enough Coins in our Laundry Money Jar I
convinced Kathy to go to the Credit Union
while I got things going in the Laundry
Room.
Kathy
was amazed at how many Traffic Accidents and Speeders
there were as she travelled the Two Mile route to the
Motor City Community Credit Union. When she arrived she
had to get in a line outside across the front of the building that
had the Six Foot Markings for the customers to practice Social
Distancing.
At
the Door there was Staff Member wearing a Mask
and Gloves just like Kathy was asking how you were feeling and
having her sign a paper with her name and address before allowing you
inside. One gentleman ahead of Kathy started coughing and was refused
entry. When a customer would come out another was allowed to go in.
Inside
the Six Foot Markings were again on the floor to keep everyone
Safe. There were only Two Tellers open. They were also
wearing Gloves and Masks. For a Five Minute process
Kathy said it took nearly an Hour.
I
was surprised that the Laundry Room
was totally Empty when I arrived so once I had our clothes in
the Washers I returned to the Apartment
and stripped the bed. Once that was in the Washer I sat waiting to
start moving things to the Dryers.
Kathy
stopped in to tell me of her morning. I gave her an estimated time
that she could expect me before she headed off.
It
was past 1:30 by the time I arrived back in the Apartment
with all the Laundry folded. After having Chicken and
Rice Soup with Cheese and Crackers as a side we had
Clementine Oranges along with a couple of Cookies as
well as a Yogurt Cup for desert.
We
sat enjoying our mug of Tea before I finally started putting
away our clothes then making the bed.
Neither
Kathy or I felt like going to the Storage Unit today so we
settled in on the Computers. Having had a filling late lunch
it was after we had watched the 6 o’clock
Local News that Kathy made us each a mug of Hot
Chocolate for supper and we were totally satisfied.
We
were watching another special about the Coronavirus
and one of the things that bugs me is constantly being reported. They
say wearing a Mask, Bandana or Scarf will not
protect you from catching the Virus.
I say they are wrong.
Having
worked as Welder in Casting Plants for over Thirty-Five
Years a sometimes a simple thing as a Dust Mask was the
difference of you going home healthy at the end of the day or you
having Sinus Infections. Sometimes better protection or
exhaust units were used but Masks are enough to protect you as
well as others around you. Many times I was called a “Wimp”
for wearing a Mask but I’ve attended the wakes and funerals
of many of those that called me such. End of Rant.
Getting
to bed early so we can do our Seniors
Shopping in
the morning. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Everyone
who visits your home asks when it'll be finished.
I agree with you about wearing a mask. I am using mask and gloves when outside my home. Better to be safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteI concur with your assessment and feel that wearing any type of covering will be of great help.
ReplyDeleteHoping you guys find a fully stocked store tomorrow to make getting up early worth it. In Del Rio they are only allowing one person per family unit to enter their store.
Anything is better than nothing for those with health issues. I've heard that cutting a piece of HEPA vacuum cleaner bag (take out the plastic inside) and putting it inside the mask will be just as good as the face masks the Doctors wear.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are making due in the current situation. Life sure is strange right now!
ReplyDeleteNice to get all the laundry done. I know our drive through banking lines are ridiculous..too bad you needed the change doesn't sound like fun for Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGood advise.
ReplyDeleteI sent the info you wrote about Kathy's visit at the credit union to our daughter who is an Assistant Branch Manager at our local credit union. She said they are doing the same but don't make people touch paper and pen to write down their info and sign, here they take down the customers info along with a phone number so that the customer can wait in their car. When it's their turn, they call the customer to come into the bank. I like that idea especially because winter doesn't seem to want to end in BC.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking common sense needs to prevail. Sounds like more and more businesses are starting to use it.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and healthy.
So very sorry that Kathy had to endure all of that just to get laundry change. FYI, out credit union is closed effective tomorrow, only ATM and online banking allowed.
