Day 7 - 143 -- Cooler day with more new information

Only one online meeting occurred today. We met to prepare for a small group discussion we will lead next week as part of the virtual conference. This will be the first of four such virtual discussion groups that will occur before the end of July. The conference is planned for Wednesday afternoons from end of May to end of July (omitting Canada Day, of course). I set up another one that chose to lead. The provincial public health authority release a much longer list of symptoms for screening for COVID-19. These will help health professionals refer people to 811 web page for self assessment and to the phone for an RN if the assessment tool determines the need for testing or intervention. The list contains a very detailed list of many symptoms beyond fever, cough, sore throat and such. Good that these learnings are being put into practice.

Grocery pickup from the online ordering system was my outing for the day. No grapes were available today -- none of any hue. That surprised me. I'm never without grapes in the fridge, so this will be interesting. I did get oranges, but not the navel oranges I'd thought were ordered. These are oranges, but look like the 'not so perfect' oranges, though the price point did not reflect this. <smile> They will work, I suspect. The day was sunny, but cooler than yesterday and temperature dropped during the afternoon. The house was still hot from yesterday, but it was 10 degrees cooler outside, so for the first time this year, I opened windows to try to coax the cooler air inside.

I still feel the changing information can become overly difficult to manage some days. It all piles up and tries to impede my positive thoughts and stomp on my dreams or wishes.  So much uncertainty still. exists and fear and anxiety still sneak into the mind when they find a tiny chink in the armor. The chorus of this song says it all. I've wanted to rail at the sky at times when out in the front yard -- just not sure what that might do in the neighbourhood, though <g> Stay safe. Enjoy!
