Happy Caturday everyone! I'm going to venture out today to the Farmer's Market - which has moved to a new location - I think the other one was too crowded? And they're trying to avoid 'crowding'..
Mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday - I spoke with her for a while and she was cantankerous as usual and perhaps more so than usual. I'll be calling again today to see if she's calmed down. The hospital was stressful for her - when dementia is involved it's really hard to negotiate everything...
Luci's foot continues to improve. I've noticed that it is smaller and less furry than her right foot...but that's to be expected considering she was in that cast for 3 1/2 months - she's running and walking fine and occasionally seems to favor that foot a little...but it's not a steady thing and she seems very comfortable.
It's been a challenging week with work - very intense as we ramp up our new server and refactor thousands of pages of code to work in the new environment. Since I work for a major medical center they've been constantly sending out emails about the COVID-19 issues and how we're all to handle that. On Friday they finally sent all of the non-patient care staff home to work remotely - I think it's about time. It just lessens the load on resources for those who need to be there to care for patients - more parking, less traffic, and less crowds of people coming and going.
I sure hope I can find a few groceries this morning - the news makes it look as if there's nothing left in the stores...but I've been so busy this week there was no opportunity to go buy anything earlier. I'm just hopeful that they've had a chance to re-stock. I see that Publix (big in our area) has decided now to close all of their stores at 8 p.m. every night to allow for cleaning and restocking. Personally I think that should be more the norm than not - stores that are open 24/7 aren't getting cleaned and the stock people are in the aisles trying to stock the shelves while the shoppers (myself included) are trying to negotiate crowded isles. Maybe I'm old, but I remember when most of the stores did close early in the evenings and on Sundays. Staff were allowed time to clean and stock the stores AND got the day off on Sunday to rest. Maybe it's time we returned to that type of culture instead of this constant go-go-go one we have now.
I hope you will all be safe and have made plans to stay at home as much as possible - avoid crowds - stay 5-6 feet away from people you're speaking with - and most of all WASH YOUR HANDS and DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE.
