Cold turkey for Easter

The internet service at Falling Downs went poof last Thursday afternoon. After an hour on the phone with the internet provider, we were told the problem was an equipment failure, and their contractor would get right on it after the long weekend.

So we enjoyed a nice quiet four day weekend of agonizing withdrawal symptoms; irritability, inability to focus, FOMO anxiety, and so forth. You really don’t appreciate how hooked on technology you are until it’s taken away. 

Doug Ford’s band of experts-du-jour also chose the weekend to unleash the latest “lockdown.” Seems that between the Variants of Concern and the mutations and the double mutations this next wave is hitting hard. “The case numbers are horrific!” (although actual daily deaths have yet to show a next wave.)

So everybody has to stay home unless they have to go to Walmart or the liquor store or something. The minimum wage PSWs still work in multiple LTC sites because it’s just to darned complicated to give them full-time hours and sick days, so they’ll continue spreading the virus. Borders are closed, except for the tens of thousands of “essential” truck-drivers crossing daily without any isolation whatsoever. 

Yup, we’re really gonna wrestle the virus to the ground this time!
