So has cabin fever hit you yet? Or are you feeling like you're under house arrest? It is really hard to know what day of the week it is, when social activities have ceased. For many folks their lifestyle has not changed, but for folks who like to be out and about, it is hard. Essential trips to the city are the only break for some of us and these don't take long when we can't visit at Caleb Village or Harwood Manor.
While we are still getting snow flurries, on Vancouver Island the daffodils are in bloom, so bright and pretty. This past week has been chilly and when the sun is out, and it looks so nice, that cold wind is blowing.

For people in the Spiritwood area who remember Garry Pearson, he passed away March 29, in Courtney, B.C. at the age of 75. He had been living in a care home, happily, but spent two weeks in hospital before passing in his sleep.
Now that we can't visit in hospitals anyway, there is free parking. Maybe it will help some of the workers. That would be good.

Shoppers still go to Costco in Leduc, Alta. My daughter went there, or was going to go there, but the long line-up made her change her mind. She didn't say if they were standing six feet from the next person or not.
It's good to see reports that the truckers are having food and bathrooms being made available,
after being caught in a bad situation initially when closures were being put into effect.
One thing we never realized before hearing of the cruise ship travellers and the problems they are having, is how many leave the country for an extended period of time. It makes staying at home an easy option right now.
I heard of one fellow who moved from the Towers in North Battleford back to his house in Meota where he feels safer.
