limes and ears

 The limes appear to be back in the chef's plate after being replaced by lemons for a while. Tonight was chipotle chicken fajita bowl. The onion was so large it was the same size as the pepper. It went very well.

My ears are better now. I think it may have been sinuses. I did some sinus clearing activities and that seemed to improve things.

Why has the province expanded the interval between vaccine doses to 16 w...

hearing

 Weirdly, my ears have gone all odd and it feels like my ears need to pop. We'll see what things are like tomorrow.

The fire yesterday was apparently significant though the fire people did put it out quickly. Today there were 3 investigation vehicles on scene.

Relative excitement

 Tonight we had Mediterranean pork and beans and then around 9pm we heard sirens and all the kingston fire department descended about a block away. There was an active fire but it was hard to tell what was on fire but it seemed to be at the back of a house. But there did seem to be ambulances so it could have been more significant. They are still on site 3.5 hours later. I'll walk by tomorrow in the daylight and see if I can see anything.

make up presentation day

Today I went to Loblaws before work. It was very busy for 8am, I was surprised.

When I got home I saw on the Loblaw site that a team member from the Loblaws that I was at had tested positive so I suppose that means that there may be more workers at the Loblaws that have it as it was only a few days ago for the test. I wonder if they test everyone at the workplace when this happens. At any rate, I didn't interact with anyone as I did the self checkout. But I wondered if the many people who were there knew about the positive case. I wouldn't have thought it would be so busy. 

Today at work we have make up presentations and I ran the copycheck.

James is working on an assignment for school due at midnight but I am going to bed!

Update on Increase of Cases

taxing

I ran some errands in my winter coat but things have warmed up a bit now. I have a load of laundry out and I need to wash some dishes and vacuum and then I will attack the taxes!

warming

 Yesterday I didn't feel like going out because of the cold. Today it was a bit warmer. I still needed to wear my winter coat and hat. I went to Food Basics.

Cases in Kingston are coming down. Last week we were in the double digits of increase but this week we are in the single digits so that is improving.

At work I tackled email and the grade adjustment report.

On the weekend I will need to tackle taxes!

Suez incident explained


An interesting video looking at the Suez incident. Also he explains what the Titanic should have done in that incident.

Woke up to snow in the morning. While I was expecting it, looking out and seeing it was still a surprise.

I walked swiftly to Metro in the morning to pick up James' favorite meat. There was almost noone there at 8am. My students had a presentation at 9am. I had a variety of meetings during the day and tried to catch up on email and financial work.

Dinner was harissa chicken and then I did my ladies group in the evening.

preparing for snow

 


Apparently the forecast is shifting toward Niagara getting the worst but I was not happy about the chilly front so I didn't go out today. I was trying to keep up with the email and so I did not make much progress on other fronts.

Made golden coconut turkey curry which was pretty easy and had less dishes than usual for a chefs plate.

Mondays being more dramatic than Mondays need to

 I ran some errands in the morning picking up some meals. Tacos for tonight. Dropped off the deposit.

The students had an exam this afternoon. A few hours before the exam a positive case was identified and they were working to isolate all the contacts. This made for an interesting few hours. In the evening I had a finance committee meeting. Then I made the tacos. Then James needed to do his schoolwork. Then we played geoguessr and now it is 1am.

COVID-19 risk in KFL&A for April 19, 2021

the erratic nature of amazon

 


Today I watched services in the morning. In the afternoon I worked on the Rustle budget. James and I played geoguesser. It was rainy all day so I didn't go out.

I ordered an amazon package on Thursday. It predicted about a week to get here but even though one item said "in stock" amazon seemed uncertain as to when it would arrive. After a few days I got an email to say that it would arrive with the rest of the shipment. I just got an email that said that it had shipped and would arrive today (Monday) - 2 days ahead of schedule, which is great but so far it is not at halton hills yet so it will likely have a busy night.

waterfront

 Kim and I walked down to the water and saw swans and some ducks that we could not identify
