I can hardly complain!
The pandemic can go away now! Can we go back to normal? I feel like I’ve had 2 years of my retirement stolen from me. The inactivity, the lack interaction with people, all make me feel like I am living the life of a recluse. I am a bit of a germophobe which makes me cringe at some peoples practices and they don’t even realize their actions are a little bit less sanitary than they should be. I personally do not carry a purse, I find them catchalls for too much stuff. Not to mention most purses are very dirty. They are put on the floor in public places, washroom floors, on the ground outside although that may be cleaner than the previous mentions. When I line up in a café to place my order, all I have with me to pay is my phone and wallet in case the phone won’t work. My bag stays in the car and there is nothing worth stealing it it and it is out of sight. The person in front of me in line, has a massive, dirty, worn out, thread bare purse which she proceeds to place on the counter where payment is made and her order is placed. Is it me??? I found that to be quite disgusting.
But on a good note, the students are back in class learning. Extra curricular sports after school is back. This is a wonderful thing. Not all students have returned and I find that terribly sad. I wonder sometimes how it will affect them later on in life. There is so much controversy over vaccines and the right to choose to get one or not get one. I think sometimes that the Covid-19 pandemic was introduced to thin out the population. Mother earth will take care of herself. We are parasites on the planet. Look what we’ve done to our Mother. It is a sad situation we are in and I hope we can turn this around, although I feel that it is past the point of no return. Not enough people really think about their consumption of resources whether it be food or material things. We are a throw away society and we cannot continue this way.
It is not much, but I refuse to purchase items that are over packaged. Or items that come from 1/2 way across our planet. That is just wasteful!
How did we manage as inhabitants of our planet to survive till roughly the 1800’s and Mother Earth was not treating us like parasites (yet)? Then came the the industrial era… well this will have to continue another day… another discussion.
Here is a nice way to get images of family (Sylvie, sister-in-law extra-ordinaire) and friends visiting Peggy’s Point Lighthouse without all the throngs of tourists in your images. It is OK to warn your subjects that if you call “background” they know you mean wait a moment the background will change momentarily 😉
