Even
though we spent Mothers Day at
home talking to family we were so worn out by the end of the day that
we slept in this morning. It was nearly 9:00 by the time we sat down
to have our Muffins for breakfast.
This seems to be our typical Spring mornings. |
Since
the sky was once again filled with Clouds along with the
temperature not expected to get out of the Thirties we weren’t
making any Plans. We simply settled in at the
Computers enjoying our morning Hot Drinks.
After
accomplishing our morning chores we also remembered that we had an
Appointment so we put together a quick but filling lunch.
Today we had Macaroni and Cheese along with Cookies, a
Yogurt Cup and an Orange that we shared for dessert.
We
arrived at our Accountant’s Office
well before our appointed time probably due to the lack of Traffic
compared to what we normally have to deal with. Not knowing what we
should be doing we waited in the Lobby while wearing our Masks
since all the office doors were locked. At exactly the appointed time
Kelly appeared with all our paperwork. After a few signatures we were
soon on our way with our completed Income Tax Returns that
will be E-Filed by the end of the day.
With
the feeling of freedom by just being out of the Apartment
we needed to make a few stops. The first was place was
Home Depot but when we saw the line of customers wanting
to get in the store doubled back in front of the store. Since the
stores are just starting to open up to the public they are under
strict Guidelines they must follow so we kept going.
Next
we went to Dollarama where we had
a small list of things to pick up. The minute we parked the Car
we knew this was no longer business as usual. Wearing our Masks
we were Tenth in line to enter the store as they were only
allowing so many people inside at a time. When One came out
One went in. The person at the door instructed us to follow
the Arrows on the floor and to practice Social Distancing.
Most people stuck to the rules but there were others that only
thought about themselves. We left with everything we needed saving
money on our grocery bill.
Still
needing some things from the Hardware Department we drove over
to Canadian Tire. The line of
people waiting to get in that store was longer then the one at Home
Depot. I simply said we’d go back another time but Kathy
had another idea.
We
went to the Home Hardware store
not far from our Apartment. It’s
not very large and chances of getting everything on our List was
slim. Fortunately we were only Fourth to go inside as they
were also limiting people inside. Again we had our Masks on
and when we went inside we were assigned a Customer Assistant
to help us find what we were looking for. That meant we were not
having to search the entire store trying to figure out where things
were located. We walked out with everything on our List.
Hard to see In-Store Shopping Limit of 5 People. |
Back
at the Apartment we carried
everything rather than having to return a Shopping Cart. By
the time we had everything put away it was already after 4:00.
We
again waited until after the 6
o’clock Local News
was over before having supper. Kathy made us
French Toast
that she later topped off with a Frozen
Yogurt Sundae
for
dessert.
After the Dishes
were cleaned and put away we settled in to watch a Christmas
Movie.
It is just over Seven
Months away.
LOL!
We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

A
local coal miner's avocation was painting, but he couldn't afford to
buy canvasses. Instead, he painted on the walls of his small cottage.
Unfortunately, a gang of youths broke into his cottage and defaced
his paintings. The young miscreants were charged in court with having
"corrupted the murals of a miner."
Oh no, we haven't even seen spring yet!!!
ReplyDeleteCatching up, sounds like Kathy had a wonderful Mother's Day. Happy Belated Mother's Day, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteMy problem with all the one way aisles at Walmart is if you skip an aisle, which I often do, you find yourself going the wrong way...LOL
Looks like you guys accomplished many things today. I hear Home Depot is having the same challenges in the US as you are having in Canada.
ReplyDeleteA personal assistant ... now that's a good idea!! My accountant just sends me an email that I virtually sign, then mails the final copies. I don't even have to go in to the office. It's such a small town here that they never have very many customers at once ... thank goodness. No waiting in line.
ReplyDeleteThe other day we realized we were going the "wrong direction" only one other person coming down the aisle and she said "OH don't worry about it..I"m not the aisle police" and then she smiled. Now we have to be told which way to go..geezzz
ReplyDeleteWe went to Lowes yesterday. No lines to follow, no one stopping people from entering. We were only in the garden center. Lots of people buying plants. Also went to UPS store to return the Colonguard box that Len had to fill (eeewwww). There were taped X's on floor where to stand waiting for the clerk.
ReplyDeleteOh I will be glad when (if) this ever gets over.
I love that idea of a personal assistant. Hopefully more stores will take that idea and run with it. Less people in the store and quicker service means safer for everyone. A win win situation. Please let this not be our new normal. I do believe that we are all opening up way too fast.
ReplyDeleteWe finally got rid of those long lines to get in about a week ago. They still count customers in and out but the number allowed inside at once is big enough now I seldom wait for more than a minute.
