It has been a strange week, with Nozomi, Tomoki and I all working and studying at home. So far everything has been relatively harmonious. A few notes and observations from the week:
The good
- Tomoki has been cooperative, even enthusiastic about walking the dog in the morning and in studying during school hours.
- It has been nice to be able to eat lunch together.
- We have been able to sit in the garden as it is sunny and warm.
- Nozomi has made dinner several times which is a nice break for me!
- I have enjoyed reading a chapter of The Belgariad (by David Eddings) to Tomoki each day
- My outpatient appointment has been rescheduled as a telephone appointment - I don't have to go to the "plague" hospital for it. Phew!
- It was nice for everyone to applaud and cheer for the NHS on Thursday night at 8pm.
The bad
- Nozomi is enjoying snacking during the day as she works at the dining table. Could be dangerous dear! Just saying...
- I am drinking too much wine every day (around a bottle). Could be dangerous mate! Just saying...
- I have a mild cough which could be something or could be nothing. It is not affecting my exercise or daily life.
- Cases of COVID-19 and deaths continue to rise at an alarming rate. There is no end in sight to this confinement and necessary wrecking of our way of life.
The ugly
- Being limited to one short walk a day while spring is in full bloom is incredibly frustrating.
- I am getting concerned about my stock of wine but am scared to go to the shops! Will need to start rationing it.
- It is impossible to get a delivery slot for home deliveries of groceries. We will have to go shopping in about a week or so.
- My retirement plans are in tatters if the market doesn't recover.
