Not So Happy List

#9 - Don't Like Not Contamination

3/20/2020

Helping Others

When Hurricane Harvey hit a couple years ago, people got out and helped each other. How do you help your neighbors, when we are avoiding contamination?

There are no "Shelter in Place" rules yet, but most are staying home and playing it safe.

So today, I washed down the old canoe. I told my neighbor with a young son, that I was leaving it out by the lake. I thought they might like a break from being cooped up.

I felt stupid after I offered. Who wants to mess with a possibly germ-y canoe?
Plus, canoes can cause more stress than relief, if you don't know what you're doing.

Offer Food


So I made casseroles. Don't we share food at times of crisis? I offered food to a friend who had a fall over the weekend. I contacted another neighbor about dropping off a casserole. She's been dealing with intense work stress, due to the virus.

Both said they were fine and had enough food. I felt silly. Why am I offering food, when we're all worried about spreading the virus? The casseroles looked a little scary, anyway.

Solo Canoeing

I asked Don if he wanted to get out in the canoe. It was a wedding gift from my siblings 40 years ago. Good memories.

Don wasn't up for it, so I got out myself. It felt so peaceful and lovely, as I paddled around. I spotted baby ducks and that made me smile. 

I didn't get a chance to help anyone else today. But, I helped me!

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
